Section 1506 does not preclude recognition where the debtor engaged in bad faith.  The public policy exception in section 1506 is narrow and is not met by a finding that a petition under chapter 15 is filed as a litigation strategy or tactic.  Imported caselaw from chapter 11 on bad faith dismissal is insufficient to deny recognition. Nor, will court import a good faith requirement into the determination of a main or nonmain proceeding.
