单词 | Private international law |
释义 | 國際私法 A body of principles dealing with conflicts between the domestic laws of two or more states or territories, and concerned with private matters arising in an international or inter-regional context. Private international law is more appropriately called ‘conflict of laws’, as it governs the choice of law forum in cases of private rights arising under business contracts or marriage. It is part of the municipal law of each country or territory dealing with matters which have connections with the legal system of more than one ‘law area’. It is not restricted to matters with connections to the legal systems of two or more countries. In a federation such as Australia or a unitary country with special administrative regions or territories such as the People’s Republic of China, which consists of administrative units with separate law-making bodies and legal systems, as well as a legal system at the federal or central level, each system constitutes a ‘law area’ and rules of private international law may apply to resolve matters with connections to two or more of those law areas. These rules assist a court in deciding issues such as which court has jurisdiction in the matter, what is the applicable law, and whether the court can recognise and enforce the judgment of another law area (whether mainland China, the Macau SAR, or a foreign country). See also Conflict of laws; International law; Municipal law; Public international law; Transnational law. 處理兩個國家或地區以上國內法的衝突的原則體系,以及從有關國際或地區之間的文意產生的事宜。國際私法更適合稱為「法律衝突」,因為就從商業合約或婚姻下產生的私人權利而言,國際私法規管法律訴訟地的選擇。國際私法是每一國國家或地區的國內法的一部分,即處理與超逾一項「法律區域」的法律制度有關連的事宜。國際私法並不限於與兩個或以上國家的法律制度有關連的事宜。澳洲等聯邦政府或中華人民共和國等具有特別行政區的統一國家(由具有各別的立法機構及法律制度等行政單位組成,以及聯邦或國家層面的法律制度), 每一制度構成一「法律區域」,國際私法的規則可適用於解決與兩處或以上的法律區域有關的事宜。此等規則協助法庭決定有關的爭議,例如哪一法庭是具有司法管轄權的法庭,哪一項法律是適用的法律,以及法庭是否可以承認以及執行另一法律區域的判決 (不論是中國大陸、澳門特別行政區或外國)。另見 Conflict of laws; International law; Municipal law; Public international law; Transnational law。 |
