Which law governs the limitation period for registering a foreign judgment or arbitration award?

Under French law, there is no limitation period for registering a foreign judgment of arbitration award. However, if an exequatur order is issued, Article L. 111-4 of the French Code of Civil Enforcement Procedures provides that the enforcement of this decision may only be pursued for ten years.

Also, limitation periods exist in relation to the appeal against the enforcement order or the setting aside proceedings. In both cases, this limitation period is equal to one month.

If the limitation period for registering a foreign judgment is governed by the law of the place of enforcement, what is that limitation period in your jurisdiction?

Not applicable.
