Synthesis of the judgement on recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in Vietnam

Synthesis of the judgement on recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in Vietnam is not a new field in Vietnam as well as in other countries around the world. In principle, a country’s civil judgments or decisions are only valid within that country’s territory. However, to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of stakeholders in the enforcement of civil judgments and decisions of the Courts of one country in another country, legal institutions on recognition and enforcement of civil judgments and decisions of foreign Courts in foreign countries are clearly needed.
