It is a much disputed question in the teaching of legal authorities and in the jurisprudence of the principal countries whether the doctrine of litispendance, the object of which is to prevent the possibility of conflicting judgments, can be invoked in international relations, in the sense that the judges of one State should, in the absence of a treaty, refuse to entertain any suit already pending before the courts of another State, exactly as they would be found to do if an action on the same subject had at some previous time been brought in due form before another court of their own country. 1, record 4, English, - litispendance

"C'est une question vivement controversée dans la doctrine des auteurs et dans la jurisprudence des principaux Etats, que celle de savoir si la litispendance, qui a pour objet de prévenir un conflit de choses jugées, peut être invoquée dans les rapports internationaux, en ce sens que les juges d’un État devraient refuser de connaître, en l'absence d’un traité, de toute affaire déjà pendante devant un tribunal étranger, exactement comme ils auraient le devoir de le faire si un tribunal national avait été, à une époque antérieure, régulièrement saisi de la même affaire. 1, record 4, French, - litispendance
