Subject: Inquiry Regarding Estonian Judicial Practice on the Recognition and Enforcement

of Judgments Issued by Courts of the Russian Federation

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing on behalf of RIDD Vilnius, a professional law firm based in the Republic of Lithuania,

regarding legal proceedings concerning the recognition and enforcement of judgments rendered by

courts or arbitral tribunals of the Russian Federation, particularly in matters arising from

commercial legal relationships.

On 25 June 2024, the Republic of Lithuania formally denounced the Agreement between the

Republic of Lithuania and the Russian Federation on Legal Assistance in Civil, Family and

Criminal Matters, originally signed on 21 July 1992. Similar steps have reportedly been taken by

the Republic of Estonia and the Republic of Latvia.

In light of the termination of bilateral legal assistance agreements, questions have arisen concerning

the current position of Estonian courts regarding the recognition and enforcement of judgments

issued by courts of the Russian Federation—especially in commercial matters. As such issues fall

within the discretionary competence of national courts, we would appreciate your guidance on the

prevailing judicial practice in Estonia in this respect.

Accordingly, we respectfully request your position and, if available, any relevant jurisprudence or

procedural decisions related to the following question:

1. Do the courts of the Republic of Estonia (in particular, the Supreme Court of Estonia)

currently recognize and/or enforce judgments issued by courts of the Russian

Federation in commercial cases, and under what legal basis or conditions?

Should it be possible, we would also appreciate the opportunity to review copies of procedural

decisions issued by competent Estonian courts in such matters.

We thank you in advance for your time, cooperation, and consideration.

This request has been submitted electronically and is duly signed with a qualified electronic

signature.
