The Washington Declaration Re Foreign Judgment is an international agreement between the United States of America and the United Kingdom, signed in Washington on July 8, 1958. The agreement is designed to facilitate the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in the two countries. It applies to any judgment, regardless of the nature of the cause of action, rendered by a court of one of the countries, which the other country recognizes as having jurisdiction over the action. The Declaration essentially allows a party to a foreign judgment to file a petition in a court of the other country for the purpose of having the foreign judgment recognized and enforced. This is done by means of a registration process, where the court of the other country would review the foreign judgment to determine if it is valid and enforceable. The Washington Declaration Re Foreign Judgment is divided into two parts: the Convention and the Protocol. The Convention governs the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, while the Protocol sets out the procedural rules for the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. The Convention and Protocol are designed to make the process of obtaining recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments more efficient and cost-effective. The Convention and Protocol also provide for a uniform system of procedures for the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, regardless of the country in which the judgment was rendered. The Washington Declaration Re Foreign Judgment is an important international agreement that has been widely adopted by countries around the world. It provides an important mechanism for the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, which can help ensure justice is served and disputes are resolved quickly and efficiently.
