Recognition of Foreign Judgments

Recognition of foreign judgments refers to the legal process where one country's courts accept and enforce the decisions made by another country's courts. This means if you win a lawsuit in one country, you can seek to have that judgment recognized and enforced in another country, provided the foreign court followed fair procedures and the case had proper jurisdiction. The goal is to promote legal consistency and respect between nations, thereby helping to ensure that justice is upheld across borders. However, the rules can vary significantly between countries, affecting whether a judgment will be recognized.
