Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the conditions under which Czech courts recognise and enforce judgments rendered in commercial matters by courts outside of the EU. The relevant rules on recognition and enforcement are contained in both the Czech Act on Private International Law and in a number of international treaties binding for the Czech Republic. The authors analyse in detail the Czech national rules with particular emphasis on grounds for non-recognition and on the enforcement procedure, including relevant national case-law. As the Czech Republic is bound by a significant number of bilateral treaties on legal assistance that contain relevant provisions, the authors also bring a brief overview of the rules therein.
