How are decisions of foreign courts enforced in Ukraine?

Recognition of decisions of foreign courts is carried out in the manner of civil proceedings.

Decisions of a foreign court are recognized and enforced in Ukraine, if their recognition and enforcement is stipulated by an international treaty.

Before applying to the court, the applicants should make sure whether there is an international agreement between Ukraine and the state in which the judgment was rendered, which regulates the recognition and enforcement of the judgments of the courts of both countries. If there is no such agreement, the process of recognition and enforcement of the decision of a foreign court is carried out in accordance with the principle of reciprocity, which was enshrined in the provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine.

After receiving the decision to grant permission to enforce the judgment of the foreign court, you will also be provided with an executive letter.

In the future, with this writ of execution, it is necessary to apply to the executive service, after which enforcement of the decision of a foreign court will begin, in accordance with the procedure of the Administrative Law "On Executive Proceedings".
