Description
This groundbreaking book offers an in-depth exploration of the complex and evolving landscape of the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments across Africa.
Covering more than 26 jurisdictions, it spans a remarkable diversity of linguistic traditions (including English, French, Arabic, and Portuguese), religious contexts (such as Christian-majority and Muslim-majority countries), and legal systems (ranging from common law and civil law to mixed jurisdictions).
As the first comprehensive study of its kind, the book examines national procedures, legal regimes, and institutional frameworks, combining theoretical insights with practical analysis. It sheds light on the multifaceted challenges that arise in cross-border civil and commercial litigation and reflects on the prospects for legal harmonization and reform within the continent. Drawing on the most up-to-date case law and legislative developments, both domestic and regional, the book offers a unique and timely contribution to understanding the mechanisms-current and emerging-that govern the movement of judgments across African borders.
A practical guide and indispensable reference for practitioners, academics, judges, students, and policy makers alike, this invaluable book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of foreign judgments recognition and enforcement in Africa, with all its intricacies and complexities.
