1. Part 1 of the Reciprocal Enforcement of Judgments Act 1934 applies to any judgment given by a court against the International Oil Pollution Fund or the Supplementary Fund in a country in respect of which the Fund Convention or the Supplementary Fund Protocol (as the case may be) is in force.

2. Subsections (3) and (4) of section 6 of the Reciprocal Enforcement of Judgments Act 1934 have no effect in the case of any such judgment.

3. Where a court in a country in respect of which the Fund Convention or the Supplementary Fund Protocol is in force has directed the distribution of the amounts available for distribution in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5 of Article 4 of that convention or paragraph 3 of Article 4 of that protocol (as the case may be), then, for the purpose of enforcing the judgment of that court in New Zealand, the judgment to be enforced is the judgment of that court as modified by that direction as to distribution.
