The Tartu Court of First Instance dismissed the enforcement application for a foreign judgment against the defendant. The plaintiff argued that the foreign court had proper jurisdiction, while the defendant contested the validity of the original proceedings and the enforcement process. The court ruled that the foreign judgment could not be enforced because the Estonian courts lacked jurisdiction over the underlying dispute and the procedural requirements for enforcement were not met.
