When is the deadline for application to register a foreign judgment?

Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 72 months
- Trigger
- Date of the judgment, or where there have been appeal proceedings, the date of the last judgment in those proceedings
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- Applies only to judgments of countries to which Cap. 319 has been extended by order. Registration is refused if the judgment has been wholly satisfied or could not be enforced in the original country. Common law enforcement by fresh action is a separate route, subject to the 12-year period in Limitation Ordinance s. 4(4).
