Morgan: Was it a question of not recognizing the judgment, or the hoops an investor would have to jump through in order to establish conditions for recognition. This type of "Enforcement of Civil Liabilities" disclosure is absolutely standard for any foreign private issuer offering securities in the US. Most foreign jurisdictions will recognize a judgment of a US court provided that certain formalities are observed and that certain wild card elements (e.g., the judgment does not offend the "public policy" of the state in question, whatever that policy might be). The real drawback, to which you allude, is the necessity for getting at assets located abroad the the not insignificant costs in doing so, assuming the issuer is not a fraudulent scheme to begin with. In any event, as noted in my response to Cosmo's post, my query is not grounded in antitrust notions at all. Regards. Steven
