On November 11, 2025, Russian courts handed down three decisions dealing with the enforcement of foreign court decisions in Russia 🇷🇺.

🇧🇾 The Arbitrazh Court of the Smolensk Region refused to recognise and enforce a decision issued by a court of the Republic of Belarus, finding that the defendant had not been duly notified of the proceedings (Case No. A62-97/2025).

🇺🇿 The Arbitrazh Court of the Rostov Region recognised and enforced a decision issued by a court of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Case No. A53-28229/2025).

🇱🇻 The Arbitrazh Court of the City of Moscow refused to block the enforcement of a court decision issued by a court of the Republic of Latvia (Case No А40-300609/2024). The court rejected the applicant’s reference to Russia’s public policy, stating, surprisingly:

“By invoking a violation of the public policy of the Russian Federation, the applicant is in fact disagreeing with the conclusions of the foreign court and challenging that court’s assessment of the factual circumstances, which is contrary to the provisions of [a Russian procedural law].”
