The Tartu Court of First Instance dismissed the application to enforce a foreign judgment against the defendant. The plaintiff argued that the foreign court had proper jurisdiction, while the defendant contested the enforcement based on Estonian procedural requirements. The court ruled that the foreign judgment could not be enforced because it violated fundamental principles of Estonian civil procedure and lacked necessary local jurisdiction.
