Introduction
A European industrial manufacturer confronted a default judgment issued in Algeria for a substantial sum, despite never receiving proper notice under applicable bilateral procedures.

The Challenge
The ruling created immediate enforcement risk across jurisdictions and raised questions about compliance with international service requirements.

Our Strategy
We audited cross-border notification steps against the Italy–Algeria treaty, developed evidentiary support on service defects, and obtained relief in domestic proceedings while preparing defenses to any parallel enforcement attempts.

The Result
The default judgment was annulled at first instance and on appeal; the client remains protected while we continue to guard against a fraudulent recovery attempt.

Conclusion
Treaty-grounded procedural rigor reversed a high-exposure outcome and reinforced due-process safeguards for the client.
