The Global Legal Post today launches the inaugural Law Over Borders Comparative Guide to Enforcement of Judgments, examining the legal frameworks and strategies involved in enforcing judgments across jurisdictions.
Edited by Andrew Bartlett, head of Osborne Clarke’s international enforcement practice, the guide provides a comparative overview of the enforcement of judgments and arbitration awards across multiple jurisdictions.
Written by leading lawyers in their respective markets, the guide examines the legal frameworks for recognition and execution, key requirements and defences, and the procedural steps involved.
In his introduction, Andrew notes: “A court judgment that cannot be enforced is likely to be a pyrrhic victory, so the importance of enforcement cannot be overstated.”
“Cross-border enforcement is a particularly complicated area of legal practice, requiring practitioners to navigate different legal systems, national laws and a range of international agreements and conventions. Successful strategies require a combination of experience-based pragmatism and an in-depth understanding of the legal principles.”
