(a) In cases where two or more proceedings arising out of the same transaction or occurrence were pending, the courts of this state shall enforce in accordance with the provisions of chapter 861 the judgments of any of such courts only if application for designation of an adjudicating forum was timely made to the first known court of competent jurisdiction where such a proceeding was commenced, or to the adjudicating forum after its selection, or to any court of competent jurisdiction if the foregoing courts were not courts of competent jurisdiction.
(b) An application for designation of an adjudicating forum is timely if made within six months of reasonable notice of two such proceedings, or of reasonable notice of the selection of an adjudicating forum.
(c) The determination of the adjudicating forum is binding for the purpose of enforcement of judgments in this state upon any person served with notice of an application to designate. The courts of this state shall enforce the judgments of the designated adjudicating forum in accordance with the provisions of chapter 861. The selection of the adjudicating forum shall be accorded presumptive validity in this state if the written decision determining the adjudicating forum evaluated the substance of the factors set forth in section 50a-202.
(d) Where no conclusive determination has been made by another court as provided in this section, the proper adjudicating forum shall be determined in accordance with sections 50a-202 and 50a-203 by the courts of this state requested to enforce the judgment.
