Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments

Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments involve a country's legal process of accepting a court decision made abroad as valid within its own jurisdiction. Recognition confirms that the foreign judgment is legally valid, while enforcement allows the winning party to take legal action to satisfy the judgment, such as collecting damages or compliance. This process promotes cross-border legal cooperation, ensuring that judgments are respected and can be upheld in different countries, provided certain legal standards are met, such as fairness and lack of fraud.
