BaghdadiLaw’s experience in foreign judgment enforcement in Syria
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to foreign judgment enforcement, with detailed knowledge of the distinction between recognition requirements and subsequent enforcement in the requested country. A foreign court judgment intended for use in Syria requires a review of recognition and execution conditions before asset recovery. The originating country, judgment status, service on the defendant and any applicable treaty can change the route.
Articles 308–310 of historical Civil Procedure Law 1/2016 address foreign court judgments, reciprocity, the relevant court and checks on jurisdiction, finality, proper participation, conflicting Syrian decisions and public order. Articles 309 and 313 preserve treaty treatment. The current text and the actual treaty relationship must be verified before choosing the application route. A translated judgment alone may not prove valid service or finality abroad. Obtain the supporting certificates and procedural record needed to explain those points.
We agree the work your matter needs: Assess treaty or domestic recognition, correct document gaps or consider a negotiated payment. Existing Syrian proceedings or conflicting judgments require examination before filing. The deliverable is agreed for your file: The consultation can deliver a country-and-treaty route assessment, a recognition checklist and a distinction between recognition barriers and asset-recovery limits.

Before requesting advice on foreign judgment enforcement in Syria
Can a foreign court judgment be enforced directly in Syria?+
Do not assume direct execution. Identify the originating country and any applicable treaty, then assemble the final judgment and service evidence for the relevant recognition process. A foreign arbitral award and a foreign official instrument have distinct rules and should not be treated as the same document.
Is an arbitral award treated exactly like a court judgment?+
No. The historical code separately addresses foreign awards in Article 311, and arbitration law or treaties may alter the route.
Does winning recognition guarantee payment?+
No. Recognition and execution against available assets are separate stages.
