Abstract

In Belt & Road Typical Case 13, [1] the Supreme People’s Court (the “SPC”) endorsed the liberal approach that the Intermediate People’s Court of Nanjing Municipality, Jiangsu Province, adopted to determine the existence of a relationship of reciprocity to recognize and enforce a commercial judgment of a Singaporean court. The Typical Case demonstrates the SPC’s keen interest in fueling the development of the Belt & Road Initiative by offering cross-border judicial assistance, especially for commercial transactions. The case indicates specific factors and strategies which practitioners should consider in evaluating their chances of success applying for the recognition and enforcement of foreign commercial judgments.
