"How to make a registered judgment work in the High Court"

Illustration for Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013

If you have a registered judgment, you can enforce it in the High Court, but only if it can be enforced in the court where the judgment was made, or in a court in the same place. This means the judgment must be able to be enforced in one of those courts at the time you try to enforce it. You can find more information about this by looking at the relevant law from 1978.
