For the purposes of this Convention:

1.

The word ‘territory’ means:

The words ‘original court’ mean in relation to any judgment the court by which such judgment was given; and the words ‘court applied to’, the court in which it is sought to obtain recognition of a judgment or to which an application for the registration of a judgment or for the grant of execution is made.

5.

The words ‘judgment debtor’ mean the person against whom the judgment was given in the original court and include, where necessary, any person against whom such judgment is enforceable under the law of the country of the original court; and the words ‘judgment creditor’, the person in whose favour the judgment was given, and include, where necessary, any other person in whom the rights under the judgment have become vested.
