In this Convention, “judgment” means any decision on the merits given by a court, whatever it may be called, including a decree or order, and a determination of costs or expenses by the court (including an officer of the court), provided that the determination relates to a decision on the merits which may be recognised or enforced under this Convention. An interim measure of protection is not a judgment.
For the purposes of this Convention, an entity or person other than a natural person shall be considered to be resident in the State—
where it has its statutory seat;
under whose law it was incorporated or formed;
where it has its central administration; or
where it has its principal place of business.
