Which section of the CPC declares that the Court shall presume, upon production of any document purporting to be a certified copy of a foreign judgment, that such judgment was pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction, unless the contrary appears on the record or is proved?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 14 creates a rebuttable presumption of the foreign court's competence when a document purporting to be a certified copy of its judgment is produced. Contrary material on the record or proof of lack of jurisdiction defeats the presumption. Section 13 instead states when a foreign judgment is not conclusive.
