A new book on foreign judgment enforcement in Nigeria and South Africa seeks to ground their foreign judgment enforcement regimes – and perhaps other African countries – on a new theoretical foundation and inform judicial decisions in new directions. In a quest to promote the free movement of judgments, judges are urged to presumptively enforce foreign judgments subject to narrowly defined exceptions. This review article examines the new theory of qualified obligation and some selected issues arising from the discussion, recommendations, and findings of the book.

外国判决在非洲自由公正运动的曙光？

一本有关尼日利亚和南非的外国判决执行制度的新书试图将其外国判决执行制度（也许还有其他非洲国家）建立在新的理论基础上，并为新的司法判决提供依据。为了促进判决的自由流动，敦促法官在狭义的例外情况下推定执行外国判决。这篇综述文章探讨了有关合格义务的新理论以及本书的讨论，建议和发现所产生的一些选定问题。
