Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The enforcement of a foreign court's decision in a domestic court is generally based on principles of comity (courtesy), consistency with domestic law and policy, and the legitimacy of the foreign judgment (e.g., a foreign plaintiff winning a favorable judgment). However, a desire not to accommodate the foreign plaintiff is not a valid reason for enforcing a foreign court's decision; rather, it reflects a bias or an unjustifiable reason for enforcement.
