When will a Foreign Default Judgment be Enforced in the British Virgin Islands?

A foreign judgment, including a default judgment, will be recognised and enforced in the British Virgin Islands if: the foreign court had jurisdiction over the parties; the judgment is for a debt or a fixed sum of money; and the judgment is final and conclusive. Flat Point is a reminder that, even if these requirements are satisfied, the Court may nevertheless refuse to exercise its discretion to enforce the judgment if it can be impeached on other grounds.
