Enforcing US judgments in England
12-Jul-2010 | Commercial Agreements, Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Despite the close commercial links between the US and the UK, there is no convention or treaty providing for the reciprocal enforcement of judgments
between the US and UK. Accordingly, the statutory schemes for registering judgments handed down by courts in convention or treaty countries are not
available. Nevertheless, the enforcement in England of a judgment in personam handed down by a court in the US can be a relatively simple matter, which is
governed by English common law principles.
