What Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Means
In global trade and migration it often happens that a judgment is rendered in one country while its enforcement — realization against property or money — is needed in another. The Georgian Law on Private International Law regulates this process by the exequatur route: first the judgment must be recognized in Georgia, and only then enforced. Under the law, Georgia recognizes foreign court judgments that have entered into legal force. Recognition is examined by the Supreme Court of Georgia, and enforcement takes place only where the judgment is subject to enforcement.
