Background

Breach of contract disputes can arise in a number of business, financial, employment and other transactions. Contractual disputes can also arise as a result of a breach of a settlement agreement from a prior legal case. For example, an ex-spouse may have entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to court case. At a later date, one spouse may violate or breach the settlement agreement, and this may give rise to a new legal dispute.

Disputes between parties in Thailand are normally presented to provincial civil courts. However, cases involving intellectual property disputes and business disputes where one party to the dispute is domiciled outside of Thailand may, under certain circumstances, be litigated in the Court of Intellectual Property and International Trade.

All Thailand Civil Courts generally request a court registration fee for claims for financial damages. For most civil cases, there are two appeals allowed after a trial court judgement.

Foreign courts judgments are not normally directly or reciprocally enforceable. However, judgments of foreign courts may be persuasive to a Thai court
