25-9-805. Policy statement. For the purposes of this part, the legislature declares that the recognition of a foreign judgment pursuant to Title 25, chapter 9, part 6, and the execution of a foreign judgment against a customer of a foreign capital depository is repugnant to the public policy of the state if either would:
     (1) facilitate the arbitrary or unlawful interference with an individual's privacy in contravention of international law;
     (2) undermine the individual right of privacy and the right to private property provided for in the Montana constitution and state law;
     (3) stimulate or engender lawsuits motivated by greed or pecuniary speculation and lacking a good faith argument or other legally sound purpose; or
     (4) facilitate civil prosecution arising from class or ethnic hatred and nurtured by a corrupt legal system; and
     (5) threaten the financial stability of the depository or the state by discouraging foreign depositors and investors from becoming customers or by encouraging customers to withdraw their capital from the depository.
