Question

Comida de Chile S.A., an export company in Chile, and Deli Source Inc., an import firm in the United States, enter into a contract. When Deli breaches the contract, Comida obtains an award of damages in a Chilean court. Comida then asks a U.S. court to enforce the award. The U.S. court defers to and enforces the Chilean court’s decree. This is an application of a. the act of state doctrine. b. the principle of comity. c. the doctrine of sovereign immunity. d. none of the choices.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

The principle of comity is the legal principle which the political entities like courts, states and nations from the different jurisdictions, will mutually or communal recognize or acknowledge each other's judicial, legislative, and executive acts.

So, in this case, it is an application of the principle of comity for the US court who enforces and defers the Chilean decree of the court.
