Where in Asia can Australian judgments be enforced
Asian Business Law Institute
November 2020
Ensuring you don’t lose the fruits of your hard-fought litigation is important when that litigation is cross-border. In 2017–18, trade with Asia represented about two-thirds (A$526 billion) of Australia’s two-way trade in goods and services (A$799 billion). Twelve economies out of Australia’s top 15 trading partners are in Asia. But in which Asian countries can you enforce a Australian judgment should you need to? How portable are Australian judgments within Asia?
This concise handbook will tell you:
- in which countries Australian judgments have been recognised and enforced (with examples);
- in which countries Australian judgments are entitled to be recognised and enforced; and
- in which countries Australian judgments cannot be recognised and enforced.
