Abstract
This report considers the recognition and foreign judgment rules under Singapore law. There are four regimes: the Reciprocal Enforcement of Commonwealth Judgments Act (RECJA), the Reciprocal Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act (REFJA), Part 3 of the Choice of Court Agreements Act (CCAA) and the common law rules. This report first considers the rules under which foreign judgments in personam are recognised and enforced at common law, and under the RECJA and the REFJA. As the rules under these three regimes are largely similar to each other, they will be considered together. Secondly, the rules which apply to foreign judgments in rem will be examined. Lastly, the rules underlying the CCAA will be examined.
