单词 | Conflict of laws rules |
释义 | 法規上衝突 The rules of law relied on to determine preliminary issues where more than one jurisdiction is involved in a dispute. In an attempt to reconcile inconsistencies between legal systems, the court must determine whether: it has jurisdiction over a matter; it must apply its own rules or the rules of another legal system involved in the dispute; and whether any foreign judgment previously handed down is to be followed. Hong Kong is currently not a signatory to any international convention relating to conflicts of law, hence conflict of laws rules are generally governed by the common law and by statute: Foreign Judgments (Restriction on Recognition and Enforcement) Ordinance (Cap 46); Foreign Judgment (Reciprocal Enforcement) Ordinance (Cap 319). As for extra-territorial civil jurisdiction in Hong Kong, it has been mainly confined to claims with some form of territorial links and the courts are content with the application of well-established conflict of laws principle: Namus Asia Co Inc v Standard Chartered Bank [1988] HKC 377, [1990] 1 HKLR 396. See also Choice of law; Conflict of laws. 在牽涉多於一個司法管轄範圍的爭議中,藉以裁定該爭議的初步爭論點的法規。當法院意圖和解不同司法制度的抵觸時,該法院必須裁定下列問題:它對該事項是否有司法管轄權;它是否須應用自己的規則,還是應用另一牽涉在該爭議的司法制度的規則;及它是否應依循任何已發下的外地判決。由於本港現時並非任何有關法律上衝突的國際公約的簽署國,因此法規上衝突通常受普通法及法規規限:《外地判決(限制承認及強制執行)條例》(第46章);《外地判決(交互強制執行)條例》(第319章)。香港的治外法權司法權則局限於有某種領地聯系的訴訟,而且法院贊成引用根深柢固的法律衝突規則:Namus Asia Co Inc v Standard Chartered Bank [1988] HKC 377, [1990] 1 HKLR 396。另見Choice of law; Conflict of laws。 |
