Does a party have an obligation to submit to the jurisdiction of a foreign court?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Gyonyor v. Sanjenko, 1971 CanLII 222 (AB QB):
In the Mattar case W. A. Macdonald J.A., at p. 34, refers to the case of Sirdar Gurdyal Singh v. Faridkote (Rajah), [1894] A.C. 670, and holds that the Faridkote case is authority for the proposition that an agreement to submit to the jurisdiction of a foreign court is not to be implied from the fact that the defendant has entered into a contract in the foreign country or to be performed therein, and if such an obligation exists it must be by virtue of an express agreement and not merely by implication.
