Montgomery Convention

The Montgomery Convention, established in 1884, is an international agreement that standardizes how countries handle the recognition and enforcement of court judgments across borders. It provides a uniform legal framework, making it easier for parties to have a foreign judgment accepted and enforced in different countries. This helps reduce legal uncertainty, promotes international commerce, and ensures that judgments from one member country are recognized equally in others. Essentially, it creates a predictable legal process for cross-border judgments, fostering cooperation and fairness in international legal interactions.
