Is recognition of a foreign judgment valid when considering whether a local action is estopped?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from CLE Owners Inc. et al v. Wanlass et al, 2004 MBQB 43 (CanLII):
Beals v. Saldanha was a case involving the enforcement of a foreign judgment in Canada. In other words, it was an action based on a foreign judgment. However, there is no reason why the principles articulated in that case would not also apply to the recognition of a foreign judgment when considering whether a local action is estopped. The reasons throughout speak of “recognition and enforcement” of foreign judgments. It would be illogical were the test for jurisdiction not to apply to recognition simpliciter.
