Part II of the Administration of Justice Act 1920 provides for the reciprocal enforcement by courts in the United Kingdom of judgments obtained in the courts of those countries or territories to which Part II has been extended by Order in Council.
In consequence of the Reciprocal Enforcement of Judgments (General Application to His Majesty's Dominions, etc) Order 1933 (S.R.& O. 1933 No. 1073) made under section 7(1) of the Foreign Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) Act 1933 (c. 13), Part II of the 1920 Act cannot be extended to further countries or territories, but a new section 14(3) of the 1920 Act, inserted by section 35(3) of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 (c. 27), allows the consolidation of Orders in Council previously made.
Taking account of constitutional and nominal changes, this Order consolidates the provisions of previous Orders extending Part II of the 1920 Act, other than those which have ceased to have effect.
