**Affirmed position.** Enforcement of smart contracts in cross-jurisdictional transactions presents the following source proposition: Design/methodology/approach To achieve the aim of this study, doctrinal legal analysis was adopted. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Escrow based enforcement is effective for automation only if it is supported by reliable oracles and robust governance, without which the mechanism is open to manipulation. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
