The Register of Judgments contains documents relating to judgments from certain overseas courts.
Brexit transition period
As the UK approaches the end of the Brexit transition period at 11pm on 31 December 2020, we appreciate you may wish to urgently discuss issues relating to:
- Recognition
- Registration
- Enforcement of foreign judgments
To ensure that we can deal with your query as quickly as possible, you can email us at CAJR@ros.gov.uk, including scanned copies of any relevant documentation.
Registration can:
- permit certain overseas judgments to be recognised and enforced in Scotland
- enable certain Scottish judgments to be enforced overseas
Find out about what can be registered and registration requirements in chapter 62 of the Court of Session Rules.
Any applications for judgments made under chapter 62 of the Court of Session Rules should be addressed to the manager of the Chancery and Judicial Registers, quoting the rule the application is being made under.
This register is one of three divisions of the Books of Council and Session, along with the Register of Deeds and Register of Protests.
