If you have a foreign judgment or arbitral award and your debtor or the debtor’s property is located in Beijing, you may apply for recognition and enforcement of the foreign judgment or arbitral award to BFIPC.

Beijing, China’s capital, is one of the centers of wealth and home to many debtors or debtors’ property.

Since 2018, BFIPC has had centralized jurisdiction over applications for recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards and judgments in Beijing. Since then, it has accepted 332 such cases, with the total amount in controversy involved in cases filing for enforcement reaching more than CNY 5 billion (approx. USD 740 million).

The ten typical cases released by Beijing Fourth Intermediate People’s Court involve arbitral awards and court judgments from the following countries and regions:

Case 1: An arbitral award of a Danish Ad Hoc Arbitral Tribunal.

Case 2: A judgment of the Supreme Court of Korea.
