- High Court
The Court found the Korean judicial arbitration decisions met the New Zealand common law prerequisities for registration (Korean court had jurisdiction, decisions were for definite sums and final and conclusive, and none of the exceptions applied), and held that Limitation Act 1950 s4(4) applies to foreign judgments so a 12 year limitation governs enforcement; accordingly summary judgment was entered for the plaintiff and the two Korean judgments were ordered registered with the same force and effect as High Court judgments.
