Power to make foreign judgments unenforceable in Belize if no reciprocity

(1) If it appears to the Minister that the treatment in respect of recognition and enforcement accorded by the courts of any foreign country to judgments given in the Superior Court of Belize is substantially less favourable than that accorded by the courts of Belize to judgments of the superior courts of that country, the Minister may by Order published in the Gazette apply this section to that country. (2) Except in so far as the Minister may by Order under this section otherwise direct, no proceedings shall be entertained in any court in Belize for the recovery of any sum alleged to be payable under a judgment given in a court of a country to which this section applies. judgements
