The Equitable Jurisdiction to Enforce Foreign Judgments

The Equitable Jurisdiction to Enforce Foreign Judgments

There are a variety of instances when courts exercising equitable jurisdiction have recognised and enforced foreign judgments. But when those instances are acknowledged at all, they have tended to be consigned to discrete subject areas and not treated as examples of a wider genus. A new approach is required to keep apace with the needs of an increasingly borderless society. In this article, the author collects in one place the established instances of equitable intervention and argues that they are merely illustrations of a comprehensive equitable jurisdiction to recognise and enforce foreign judgments.
