Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The enforcement of a judgment in a foreign court generally depends on the bilateral agreements between the countries and the principle of comity, which is the recognition of a court judgment by another country out of respect rather than obligation. Choice-of-law and forum selection clauses in the parties' contract may affect the choice of court where the dispute will be resolved but not the enforcement of a judgment in a foreign court. The act of state doctrine and the doctrine of sovereign immunity relate to the immunity of states from foreign jurisdiction and do not apply to private parties. Arbitration and litigation clauses in the parties' contract may affect the choice of dispute resolution mechanism but not the enforcement of a judgment in a foreign court.
