Courts of reciprocal jurisdiction
6 Courts of reciprocal jurisdiction
Where the Governor is satisfied that the courts, or any of the courts, of a country or state exercise jurisdiction upon substantially the same grounds as the Supreme Court, he may by proclamation declare the courts of that country or state, or any of those courts, to be courts of reciprocal jurisdiction.
The Governor may by subsequent proclamation vary or revoke a proclamation under subsection (1) of this section.
In any proceedings under this Act, it shall be presumed in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that a judgment (not being a judgment for the enforcement of any penal law or for the recovery of a non-recoverable tax) of a court of reciprocal jurisdiction is registrable under this Act.
