The Foreign Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement Bill) 2023 was on Thursday evening passed in the National Assembly allowing the enforcement of foreign judgments here and judgments from local courts to be enforced in countries that are inscribed in the bill.
According to the Minister of Legal Affairs and Attorney General, Anil Nandlall SC the Bill is another example of the government’s objective of modernizing Guyana’s legal infrastructure. “This bill is part of that menu of modern laws that are so necessary for economic development and investment in particular foreign investment,” he stated in his presentation to the National Assembly.
According to Nandlall, the Bill permits and authorizes judgments and orders emanating from courts in Guyana to be enforced in any jurisdiction to which the Bill applies, and vice versa.
