RECOGNION AND ENFORCEMENT
OF FOREIGN COURT'S CIVIL JUGEMENTS IN VIETNAM
• LLM. NGUYEN HUYNH ANH
• LLM. BUI THI MY HUONG Faculty of Low - Can Tho University
ABSTRACT:
Recognition and enforcement of foreign court's civi judgments and other civil decisions is not a new matter of civil procedure codes of many countries including Vietnam. Recognition and enforcement of foreign court's judgments is necessary to protect legal rights and interests of parties in civil relations vi'ith foreign elements. Based on current Vietnam's laws on recognition and enforcement of foreign court's judgments, this article is to analyze some related important legal issues to identify limitations, thereby proposing some solutions to improve Vietnam's laws on recognition and enforcement of foreign court's civil judgments.
Keywords: Recognition and enforcement, judgment, civil decision, foreign court
