The Roman-Dutch common law of the Republic of South Africa states that a foreign judgment is not directly enforceable there. In order to have a foreign money judgment recognised and enforced, the judgment creditor must, inter alia, demonstrate that the foreign court had jurisdiction to adjudicate the matter (ie that it had “international jurisdiction”). South African courts have held that the judgment debtor’s being domiciled, at the time of commencement of the proceedings, within the territory of the foreign court confers the said international jurisdiction on that foreign court. This position has been criticised. This paper assesses the validity of that criticism.

在考虑是否承认和执行外国货币判决时，国内法院为什么要以判决债务人居于该国为依据，赋予外国法院国际管辖权？南非共和国法院采取的方法分析

南非共和国的罗马荷兰普通法规定，外国判决不能在那里直接执行。为了使外国货币判决得到承认和执行，判决债权人除其他外，必须证明外国法院具有裁定该事项的管辖权（即它具有“国际管辖权”）。南非法院认为，在程序开始之时，判决债务人的住所在外国法院的领土内，赋予该外国法院上述国际管辖权。这一立场遭到批评。本文评估了这种批评的有效性。
