Summary
European Union (EU) law plays a crucial role in the private international law of European states. Notably, the discussion about the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is often reduced to the analysis of the EU legal sources. However, recognition and enforcement of the judgment from third states still take place on the basis of domestic law (at least in the absence of international treaties). In this article, the authors focus on the critical analysis of the recognition and enforcement of third-state judgments in Latvian law. Initially, the authors discuss whether jurisdictional control is effective during the recognition stage. Further, the authors analyse the rule in the Latvian law that subjects foreign judgments to the applicable law test, i.e., whether a foreign court applied the same substantive law that would have been applied by a Latvian court. The authors conclude that not only this test lacks a legitimate objective, but its use in practice is complex and time-consuming. Hence, the authors suggest that the applicable law tests must be repealed.
