§ SECTION 2(6) · CPC 1908

foreign judgment

Just five words in the Code — the judgment of a foreign Court. Its whole weight comes from what the Code does with it next.

foreign Court · s.2(5) → its judgment = foreign judgment · s.2(6)

Bare Act — Section 2(6), CPC 1908

“foreign judgment” means the judgment of a foreign Court.
