Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Mill Valley Bamboo Associates, LLC v. D.T.I. Diversified Transportation Inc., 2006 CanLII 39316 (ON SC):
In the absence of a different statutory approach, it is reasonable that a domestic court recognize and enforce a foreign judgment where the foreign court assumed jurisdiction on the same basis as the domestic court would. The determination of the proper exercise of jurisdiction by a court therefore will depend on whether there exists a “real and substantial connection” (see: Beals v. Saldahna, supra).
