It is an issue for practitioners to consider carefully, not only after such a dispute has arisen but equally in the context of negotiating (or deciding to forgo) a contractual choice of forum clause. In this area, domestic law continues to predominate. No general principle of law or broad rule of customary international law compels domestic courts to enforce foreign judgments in civil or commercial matters. Accordingly, in the absence of a comprehensive international arrangement or broadly-applicable set of 'judicial assistance' rules and procedures, domestic judicial systems have not traditionally embraced an obligation to recognize or enforce judgments rendered in other states. Where they have done so, it has traditionally been as an exercise of 'international comity' rather than an obligation. That said, many states have entered into bilateral arrangements with their neighbors (sometimes called 'judicial assistance treaties') providing inter alia for mutual recognition and enforcement of civil and commercial judgments on the basis of reciprocity. In addition, some regional 'harmonization' arrangements exist, for example within the European Union and the Organization of American States (OAS). More consequentially, in 2019, the Hague Conference on Private International Law concluded a multilateral 'judgments' convention, now in force for a small number of states but with the potential to transform this area of international civil and commercial practice. By way of background, we begin with an overview of the relevant law in the United States, followed by a more detailed examination of the issues related to the enforcement of foreign judgments in U.S. courts, including several notable developments. We also discuss the related topics of enforcement of arbitral awards and choice of court agreements. The chapter then turns to an overview of the law governing recognition and enforcement of judgments in countries other than the United States. It concludes with an overview of the recently-adopted 2019 Hague Judgments Convention, which holds the promise of a new widely-accepted regime on the enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters"-- $c Provided by the publisher. 650 0 $a Judicial assistance. 650 0 $a Judgments, Foreign. 650 7 $a Judgments, Foreign. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984632 650 7 $a Judicial assistance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984636 700 1 $a Bowker, David W., $e author. 700 1 $a Ristau, Bruno A. $t International judicial assistance. 775 08 $i Revision of: $a Ristau, Bruno A. $t International judicial assistance. $d Washington, D.C. : International Law Institute, 1984- $z 0935328300 $w (OCoLC)12033446 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stewart, David P., $t Ristau's international judicial assistance $d New York : Oxford University Press, [2021?] $z 9780197578711 $w (DLC) 2020056009 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011041.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1AAA0FAABFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
