Phillips and Others v Avena and Another: ChD 11 Nov 2005

The claimant sought to have registered here a judgment obtained in Canada against the defendant. The defendant objected saying that the Canadian judgment was subject to a pending appeal.
Held: Recognition of a foreign judgment required that judgment to be final and conclusive, but the possibility of a successful appeal did not prevent it being so. Appropriate safeguards could be applied.
