Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the English judgments could be refused recognition under Art. 27 No. 1 CL for violation of Swiss procedural public policy due to contempt of court proceedings.
Decisione estratta
The mere fact that the judgments were rendered in contempt of court did not, by itself, make recognition incompatible with Swiss procedural public policy.
Motivazione estratta
Public policy in exequatur matters is interpreted restrictively; foreign procedures may differ from Swiss law. Only a concrete denial of fundamental procedural guarantees would justify refusal, and that was not established here.
