Is the ruling of one judge accepted by another judge when both are outside their respective jurisdictions?

Primary text

If two judges, such as the judge of Damascus and the judge of Egypt, meet in Jerusalem, and one informs the other of a ruling he has made or testimony established before him, neither judge's statement is accepted by the other. They are treated as two ordinary witnesses informing each other of what they know. The recipient judge cannot act upon this information when returning to his own post because it is information from someone who is not a judge within his jurisdiction.
