UZBEKISTAN \u00a0\u00b7\u00a0 DISPUTE RESOLUTION<\/p>\n

Enforcement of Foreign Judgments & Arbitral Awards in Uzbekistan<\/h1>\n

Bond Stone advises on the recognition and enforcement of foreign court judgments and international arbitral awards in Uzbekistan \u2014 from enforceability assessment through recognition proceedings before Uzbek economic courts, asset tracing, and execution against debtor assets.<\/p>\n

Enforcing a foreign judgment or arbitral award in Uzbekistan requires a dedicated recognition and enforcement procedure before the Uzbek economic courts \u2014 separate from the original proceedings. The applicable route depends on whether the decision is a foreign arbitral award enforceable under the New York Convention, a judgment from a CIS state with a bilateral judicial cooperation treaty with Uzbekistan, or a judgment from a non-treaty jurisdiction. Bond Stone advises on all three tracks and manages the full enforcement mandate from assessment through execution.<\/p>\n

\n

Legal verification note:<\/strong> Uzbekistan’s enforcement procedure is governed by the Economic Procedural Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan and bilateral judicial cooperation agreements. Specific procedural timelines, court fees, and documentation requirements should be verified against current lex.uz<\/a> sources before reliance, as Uzbekistan’s procedural rules have been subject to ongoing reform. Bond Stone verifies current procedural requirements at the outset of every enforcement mandate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
