Sfeir and Co v National Insurance Co of New Zealand: 1964

The court was asked as to the enforceability of a Ghanaian judgment on a marine insurance contract under the 1920 Act.
Held: Mocatta J accepted that ‘an implied submission or agreement to submit can satisfy the words of [section 9(2)(b)]’. But it was not enough that it should be reasonable to find the implied submission or agreement: it must be a necessary one. It could not be implied from a choice of the governing law nor from the fact that claims were payable in Ghana.
