B makes sense too, but it’s too narrow. D covers more ground.

I feel like A is misleading. It's not automatic everywhere.

I think D is the best choice. Treaties matter a lot.

Wait, are you saying a judgment can be ignored in some places?

Option D seems right to me.

I thought it was just about where the assets are...

Totally agree, enforcement treaties matter!

A foreign judgment isn't automatically enforceable everywhere.

I’m leaning towards option A, but I recall that just having a judgment doesn’t guarantee enforcement everywhere.

I feel like I’ve seen a question similar to this before, and I think it was about how judgments are enforced based on asset location.

Jettie 7 months ago

I think option D sounds right because we talked about enforcement treaties in class, but I’m a bit confused about how they actually work.

Maira 7 months ago

I remember discussing how enforcement of judgments can vary by jurisdiction, but I'm not sure if treaties are always a factor.
