The most common example of recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is where a party obtaining a favorable judgment in one state or country may seek to have the judgment recognized and enforced in another state or country. The goal of the study is to determine whether Bangladesh's current regulations regarding the recognition and execution of foreign judgments are consistent with the demands of contemporary business. This article would discuss the Recognition and enforcement process of a foreign judgment in Bangladesh. This article further reviewed the types of judgments that may be recognized and enforced in Bangladesh. A reciprocating agreement between states is necessary for the enforcement of a foreign judgment, which has also been legalized. Therefore, this paper will briefly go through those conditions for a foreign judgment's enforcement. This paper sought to discuss the court proceeding if the foreign judgment conflicts with a previous judgment in relation to the same dispute between the same parties. This paper determines to find the present proceeding of a foreign judgment in Bangladesh and also suggests a few important recommendations to make sure that foreign judgments are properly recognized and enforced.

Introduction When a court in one nation or jurisdiction recognizes a judicial judgment made by courts in another country or jurisdiction and renders a judgment in nearly identical terms without revisiting the initial legal controversy, the issue of foreign judgment emerges. Where a direct trial is to be held between the same party or between the parties under which they or one of them claims the action under the same title, a foreign judgment will be final if it has not been uttered by a court of competent jurisdiction. In English law, there is a dissimilation between both foreign judgment recognition and foreign judgment enforcement. Recognizing a claim involves treating it as if it had been decided in favor of one of the litigants (Hilton, 1895). This is known as res judicata, and it acknowledges foreign competence and the resolution of a dispute. Enforcement, on the other hand, is the act of carrying out the decision. Bangladesh's laws are based on English law. Bangladesh has a judicial hierarchy, with the High Court serving as the highest judicial entity and the Supreme Court serving as the country's highest court. Furthermore, all statutes are adopted by Parliament, and the interpretations and verdicts of courts contribute to the formation of law. Each country has a natural propensity to safeguard itself against foreign judgments, to the detriment of creditors who are the beneficiaries of the decisions. Foreign decisions are deemed to have no direct effect due to the idea of territorial sovereignty (Castel, 1971). This attitude arises primarily from a lack of trust in other judicial systems. It may be challenging for the adjudicatory court to determine the foreign judge's impartiality and legal skill, as well as to appraise the foreign legal system (Castel, 1971). This problem is exacerbated when the countries involved have fundamentally distinct legal systems and, as a result, may have divergent ideas about government policy and judicial process. The adjudicatory court may find it difficult to assess the foreign judge's procedural fairness and legal talent, as well as the foreign legal system's trustworthiness.
