Recognition and Enforcement of a Foreign Court Judgment for a Leading Uzbek Bank

REVERA’s lawyers advised a leading Uzbek bank on the recognition and enforcement in the Republic of Belarus of a court judgment issued in Uzbekistan for an amount exceeding USD 200,000.

Case Overview

The project involved comprehensive legal support throughout a cross-border process, including:

  1. pre-litigation risk assessment;
  2. development of a strategy to safeguard the client’s interests;
  3. coordination of court proceedings before the Belarusian courts;
  4. ongoing legal advice taking into account parallel proceedings in Uzbekistan.

Complexity and Legal Context

The matter was characterised by a high level of complexity. The case was reviewed twice on the basis of newly discovered circumstances, requiring close coordination between jurisdictions and a detailed assessment of how Uzbek court decisions could affect the enforcement strategy in Belarus.

This required a consistent alignment of legal positions and careful management of procedural and timing considerations across both jurisdictions.

Scope of Work

REVERA’s team carried out:

  1. a comprehensive analysis of cross-border risks, including potential barriers to recognition and enforcement of the foreign judgment;
  2. development of a litigation strategy focused on risk mitigation and protection of the client’s interests in both jurisdictions;
  3. ongoing coordination of legal positions and procedural actions between the Belarusian courts and the relevant authorities in Uzbekistan;
  4. provision of recommendations on managing risks associated with time-related, procedural and regulatory constraints.

Result and Practical Significance

REVERA successfully secured the recognition and enforcement of the foreign court judgment in Belarus. The client’s rights were effectively protected, and cross-border risks were minimised.

This case demonstrates the practical importance of:
  • strategic coordination between multiple jurisdictions;
  • timely adaptation to procedural developments, including case reviews based on newly discovered circumstances;
  • proactive risk management in cross-border enforcement proceedings.

A project with an implementation value exceeding EUR 300 million became the subject of a dispute in an amount exceeding EUR 30 million. The case was considered under Uzbek law, while the seat of arbitration was Minsk, which immediately created a number of cross-border and conflict-of-laws challenges.
