(a) In any litigation, certified copies of final judgments or decrees of any court of record may be used as evidence in such litigation, without the final judgment or decree being supported by the entire record upon which it is based. Such certified judgment or decree shall have the same force and effect as evidence as it would have if the entire record upon which it is based were filed with the judgment or decree, it being the intention to expedite the preparation of cases and save costs.
(b) This section shall not apply to litigation in which a direct attack is made on the judgment or decree and the proceedings upon which it is based, nor to litigation involving the validity of the judgment or decree.
(c) This section shall not prevent any of the parties to the litigation from using as evidence in such litigation the entire record upon which the final judgment or decree is based.
