WATARY SERVICES LIMITED v. LAW KIN WAH

The Hong Kong judgment is conclusive (CPLR 5302, 5303 N.Y.C.P.L.R.), and must be enforced absent a showing of one of the grounds for nonrecognition specified in CPLR 5304 (see, Matter of Fickling v. Fickling, 210 A.D.2d 223). The grounds urged by defendant — that New York is an inconvenient forum and that necessary parties have not been joined in the New York action — do not fall within any of the grounds specified.

Concur — Sullivan, J. P., Wallach, Rubin, Williams and Tom, JJ.
