Definition / notes:	Type of procedure; patent. Official recognition or permission. Special procedure which allows a foreign judgment to be enforced. http://www.out-law.com/page-6262 See: An exequatur is a patent which a head of state issues to a foreign consul which guarantees the consul's rights and privileges of the office and ensures recognition in the state to which the consul is appointed to exercise such powers. If a consul is not appointed by commission, the consul receives no exequatur; the government will usually provide some other means to recognize the consul. The exequatur may be withdrawn, but in practice, where a consul is obnoxious, an opportunity is afforded to his government to recall him. Wikipedia
