Cross-border enforcement

Judgments by place of origin

This page groups material by the country where the judgment was issued, before the separate question of where it has to be enforced. Each entry below sets out what a claimant needs to establish about that origin jurisdiction. The reverse view, judgments arriving into a jurisdiction rather than leaving one, is kept as its own index.

The refusal category behind it is explained on non-enforcement of a judgment, which covers why a court order can remain unpaid after judgment is entered. Where the underlying claim comes from a platform or pooled investment structure, crowdinvesting and platform debt deals with that debtor structure specifically.

The service that carries out recognition and enforcement itself is described on cross-border recognition and enforcement. Two written cases show what preparation looks like before a claim moves abroad: a pre-enforcement checklist for Malta, and a record of a judgment that stalled in Malta once it reached that stage.

For the opposite sorting, by where a judgment needs to land rather than where it was made, use judgments by destination. The firm does not work on a success-fee basis, and its registration can be checked directly against the public registry linked from how to verify a law firm.
