Unblocking Statutes

Unblocking statutes are laws enacted by governments to override certain legal barriers, often in response to unfavorable international decisions, typically involving foreign courts. They enable domestic parties to continue with their activities or claims without interference from those foreign judgments. Essentially, these statutes are designed to protect national interests and assert sovereignty by "unblocking" restrictions that might hinder legal or business operations, ensuring that domestic laws take precedence over foreign rulings. They help maintain a country’s legal framework and economic stability in the face of global legal challenges.
