近日，汇仲律师事务所助力客户在澳大利亚新南威尔士州最高法院（下称“澳洲法院”）取得重大胜诉。澳洲主审法官Parker J作出一审判决，全面驳回被告提出的无效送达、欺诈、违反自然公正等抗辩理由，判决承认并执行深圳市中级人民法院（下称“深圳中院”）于2016年作出的一项生效民事判决书（下称“深圳判决”）。
中澳两国之间并不存在判决相互承认与执行的互惠条约。在此背景下，汇仲团队依托丰富的跨境争议解决经验，与澳洲律师团队紧密协作，依据普通法原则成功推进执行程序。在历经长达数年的密集庭审、资产追踪与保全、跨境证据开示等一系列程序后，澳洲法院最终认定深圳判决符合普通法项下的全部要件，并驳回了被告的全部抗辩。与此同时，汇仲律师还代表客户在深圳中院成功驳回对方屡次提出的执行异议与信访再审等申请，从根本上捍卫了深圳判决在海外的终局性和公信力。
截至澳洲法院一审判决作出之日，该案判决所确定的债权金额本息合计约人民币6.98亿元，折合超1亿美元。这一债权金额规模在近年来中国判决在海外获得承认与执行的成功案例中较为罕见。
本案由汇仲管理合伙人费宁律师与合伙人钟莉律师牵头主办，汇仲深圳办公室黄泽宇律师、王洛谦律师协办。汇仲团队负责整体诉讼策略制定、澳洲律师聘请与管理、交叉盘问方案策划及资产保全安排。该案的成功不仅为客户实现重大债权回收奠定了坚实基础，也充分展现了汇仲在处理高难度、高净值跨境争议解决中的专业能力。
近年来，汇仲在多个境外法域持续取得标杆性成果。从英国伦敦的ICC仲裁，新加坡的SIAC仲裁，再到中国判决的海外承认与执行，汇仲始终紧跟中国企业“走出去”的法律服务需求，以专业、高效、协同的一站式服务，为客户的跨境权益保驾护航。
Recently, Hui Zhong Law Firm achieved a landmark victory for its client before the Supreme Court of New South Wales, Australia (the "Australian Court"). Justice Parker, the presiding judge at first instance, fully dismissed all defences raised by the respondent, including invalid service of process, fraud and breach of natural justice, and ordered the recognition and enforcement of a binding civil judgment rendered by the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court in 2016 (the "Shenzhen Judgment").
There exists no bilateral treaty on mutual recognition and enforcement of judgments between China and Australia. Drawing on extensive cross-border dispute resolution experience, the Hui Zhong team collaborated closely with local Australian counsel to advance enforcement proceedings under common law principles. Following years of intensive court hearings, asset tracing and preservation, as well as cross-border document discovery, the Australian Court held that the Shenzhen Judgment satisfied all common law prerequisites for enforcement and rejected every defence submitted by the opposing party. Meanwhile, Hui Zhong also represented the client before the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court and repeatedly defeated the respondent’s enforcement objections, petition applications for retrial and other collateral challenges, fundamentally safeguarding the finality and credibility of the Shenzhen Judgment for overseas enforcement.
As of the date of the Australian first-instance judgment, the total principal and interest under the judgment amounted to approximately RMB 698 million, equivalent to more than USD 100 million. A judgment of such magnitude being enforced overseas represents a rare successful precedent among Chinese judgments recognised and enforced abroad in recent years.
This matter was led by Managing Partner Ning Fei and Partner Li Zhong, with support from Zeyu Huang and Luoqian Wang of Hui Shenzhen Office. The Hui Zhong team formulated the overall litigation strategy, retained and coordinated Australian external counsel, designed cross-examination frameworks and arranged asset preservation measures. This breakthrough ruling lays a solid foundation for the client’s full recovery of substantial receivables and demonstrates Hui Zhong’s robust professional capacity for high-stakes, complex cross-border disputes.
In recent years, Hui Zhong has delivered landmark results across multiple foreign jurisdictions, ranging from ICC arbitrations seated in London and SIAC arbitrations in Singapore to the overseas recognition and enforcement of Chinese court judgments. Aligned with the legal service demands of Chinese enterprises going global, Hui Zhong delivers integrated, coordinated, efficient cross-border representation to safeguard clients’ overseas legal rights and interests.
