Foreign Judgments
If you or your client hold a foreign judgment against a debtor present in Canada or Yukon, Hobbs Giroday can assist you in enforcing the foreign judgment against the debtor. Canadian law gives full faith and credit to most foreign judgments if certain criteria are met. Some foreign judgments can simply be registered in the suitable province or the foreign judgments can be sued upon as an action in debt. Once perfected, the foreign judgment can be executed upon against the debtor as if it was a Canadian or Yukon judgment.
