Enforcement hub
Which foreign judgments are enforced in the Luxembourg
This page maps how foreign judgments and arbitral awards reach enforcement in Luxembourg, sorted by the jurisdiction where the decision was made. Luxembourg runs no system of proportional court fees; the main costs are the bailiff and counsel. Where no treaty governs recognition, the domestic exequatur procedure applies. Each origin pair below sets out its own regime and its own conditions.
