JUDGMENTS, ENGLAND AND WALES
JUDGMENTS, NORTHERN IRELAND
This Order amends the Reciprocal Enforcement of Foreign Judgments (Norway) Order, 1962 (S.I. 1962/636) to give effect, in England and Wales and Northern Ireland, to the Agreement on the continued application and amendment of the Convention between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the Kingdom of Norway providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil matters signed at London on 12 June 1961 (the Agreement), which was signed at Oslo on 13th October 2020. This reflects the fact that at 23:00 on 31st December 2020, the Convention on Jurisdiction and the Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters of 30th October 2007 (the Lugano Convention 2007), to which Norway is a party, will cease to apply to the United Kingdom; the Convention of 12th June 1961, as amended, will therefore continue to apply after this date and provide a system of rules on the mutual recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil matters.
