Hilton v. Guyot, 159 U.S. 113 (1895), was a case decided by the United States Supreme Court in which the court described the factors to be used when considering the application of comity. Hilton established the fundamental basis for recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in the United States. The decision has been called "the most detailed exposition of any American court of the principles governing the extraterritorial recognition and enforcement of judgments rendered in foreign nations."
