The article addresses the scope of the definitions “recognition” and “enforcement” of foreign
judgments and its interrelation in the doctrine and legislation of civil law and common
law countries. The author argues that the mentioned notions came into existence due to
the special doctrinal approach under which the state sovereignty amounted to the state
monopoly of coercion. In order to safeguard this monopoly the legislation of that time
provided that enforcement of foreign judgment required prior authorization from the
domestic court (exequatur). As a general rule, the action of a court decision is terminated
at the border of the state of its adoption. On the contrary the preclusive and collateral
estoppel effect of foreign judgment did not affect the state sovereignty (the fundamental
principle of international civil procedure), and thus did not require any prior authorization
of this kind. With regard to the above the author makes critical remarks concerning
L.A. Lunts’s approach under which recognition of foreign judgment serves a precondition
for its enforcement.
Keywords: recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments; state sovereignty;
international civil procedure.
