(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order, with effect from 6th November 2003, amends the Reciprocal Enforcement of Foreign Judgments (Israel) Order 1971 (S.I. 1971/1039) so as to add magistrates' courts to the list of recognised courts of Israel for the purpose of Part I of the Foreign Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) Act 1933. The amendment will enable certain judgments of magistrates' courts in Israel to be enforced in the United Kingdom.
The designation of courts as "recognised courts" rather than "superior courts" is consequential on the amendment of Section 1(1) of the 1933 Act by paragraph 1 of Schedule 10 to the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 (c. 27).
Notes:
[1] 1933 (c. 13). Section 1 was amended by paragraph 1 of Schedule 10 to the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 (c. 27) so that the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments extends to recognised courts in Israel and not only superior courts.back
