The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will consider a mutual recognition of judgements agreement with San Marino.

Answered by Alex Davies-Jones

Foreign judgments (including those from San Marino) can be enforced in the courts of England and Wales at common law by bringing a fresh action, subject to certain limited grounds of refusal.

The Government has no current plans to pursue a bilateral agreement with San Marino to further facilitate the recognition of judgments. However, the Government welcomes international cooperation in this area of law, for the benefit of UK businesses and citizens who live, work and trade across borders.
