By the comity of nations certain rules are recognised as common to civilised jurisdiction. Such recognition is accorded on considerations of justice equity and good conscience. Hence a foreign judgement would be conclusive, leaving exceptional circumstances e.g where a judgement was not given by a competent court, where the judgement was devoid of merits, where the judgement was obtained by fraud etc.
