On the ground of lack of competent jurisdiction under section 13 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, which kind of foreign judgment can be challenged?
Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 13(a) denies conclusiveness to a foreign judgment pronounced without competent jurisdiction. It does not restrict that objection to judgments in personam. Jurisdiction is likewise fundamental to recognition of a judgment in rem. Section 14’s initial competency presumption is rebuttable, so both categories can be challenged.
