Fiji the Exchange Control Act specified that he required the consent of the Reserve Bank. He failed to obtain it and failed to complete the contract with the Plaintiff who then obtained judgment against him in New Zealand. When the Plaintiff applied to re
g
ister this judgment in Fiji the Defendant argued that the judgment was not registrable on the ground of public policy, the provisions of the Exchange Control Act not having been complied with. Dismissing this argument and registering the judgment the High
 Court examined the provisions of the relevant legislation and HELD: that the failure to obtain the necessary consent was no defence to the Plaintiffs claim.

The Defendant Mathieson has filed an Affidavit in Reply dated the 8th day of March 1990 alleging among other things that the judgment sought to be registered in the High Court of Fiji is in breach of the Exchange Control Act 
Cap 211 and thus cannot be registered here on the ground of public policy. The affidavit of Derek Grant Collecutt is in reply to that of the Defendant Mathieson and asserts that the Defendant had accepted the jurisdiction of the High Court of New Zealand 
by taking certain steps in the summary judgment proceedings which preceded the final judgment now sought to be registered but did not raise the arguments referred to in his affidavit of 8th of March 1990 at the substantive trial.

 it appears to a court in Fiji that a judgment is (a) correct in law and (b) further has never been appealed, both of which conditions apply to the judgment of Mr. Justice Fisher, unless it falls within the exceptions set out in Section 3 (2) of the Recip
