Overview

The Asian Principles for the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments is published by the Asian Business Law Institute (ABLI) as part of its Asian Principles for the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments project.

The Asian Principles distils the commonalities and differences of the law on foreign judgments recognition and enforcement in 15 countries (all ten ASEAN member states, plus Australia, China India, Japan and South Korea) for readers into 13 overarching principles that underpin the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in the region. Authored by leading academics and practitioners with extensive regional exposure, each of the 13 Asian Principles comes with a detailed commentary fully supported by citations. Where appropriate, the Asian Principles also suggest ways forward for the development of the law in this area. The Asian Principles is a horizontal comparison that is a sequel to ABLI’s first publication Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Asia.

Features a foreword by the Honourable Justice Andrew Phang, Judge of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Singapore.

Apart from the paperback version, the publication is also available in electronic form.
