Only a foreign judgment that is final may be recognized in Québec

In TCA Global Credit Master Fund c. Apelian 2022 QCCS 2444, the Superior Court of Québec confirmed that pursuant to paragraph 3155(2) C.c.Q., a foreign judgment will not be recognized in Québec if it can still be appealed in its original jurisdiction, even if it is otherwise executory. The adoption of section 508 of the Code of civil procedure did not impact this interpretation of paragraph 3155(2) C.c.Q.
