The Article addresses the scope of the definitions “recognition” and “enforcement” of foreign judgments and its interrelation in the doctrine and legislation of civil law and common law countries. The Author believes that the mentioned notions came into existence due to the special doctrinal approach under which the state sovereignty amounted to the state monopoly of coercion. In order to safeguard this monopoly the legislation of that time provided that enforcement of foreign judgment required prior authorization from the domestic court (exequatur). On the contrary the preclusive and collateral estoppel effect of foreign judgment did not affect the state sovereignty and thus did not require any prior authorization of this kind. With regard to the above the Author makes critical remarks concerning L.A. Lunts’s approach under which recognition of foreign judgment serves a precondition for its enforcement.
