A Chinese company sought to enforce in Israel a judgment of a Court in China. The defendant argued that it is not possible to enforce the judgment in the absence of the "requirement of reciprocity" between Israel and China, because China is not a member of the convention for enforcing foreign judgments and Courts in China will not necessarily enforce Israeli judgments.
The Court held that the evidence submitted show that Chinese law does not prohibit the enforcement of Israeli judgments in China despite the absence of an international treaty between Israel and China and thus there is a potential that an Israeli judgment be enforced in China. This potential is sufficient to satisfy the requirement of reciprocity. Thus, Chinese judgments are enforceable in Israel, as long as no other defenses against enforcement are raised, such as a contention of lack of due process in the Chinese proceedings.
