| 单词 | Forum conveniens |
| 释义 | 便於審理的法院 Lat – appropriate jurisdiction. A court of justice where a legal remedy may be sought, such court being the most convenient location where the matter at hand may be tried and examined. The test is to determine whether Hong Kong court is the forum conveniens in an application for stay or application for leave to serve the writ outside jurisdiction pursuant to the Rules of the High Court (Cap 4A) O 11. A court may decline to assume jurisdiction over a particular matter as forum non conveniens but in common law jurisdictions the courts usually do not concede to such a relinquishment. The three stages in reaching a determination as to the forum conveniens for the trial: (1) is there another forum besides Hong Kong which is the natural and appropriate forum for the action: Guihing Agricultural & Development Corp & Ors v Palawan (Owners) [1982] HKLR 513 (HC); Wo Fung Paper Making Factory Ltd v Sappi Kraft (Pty) Ltd [1988] HKC 10, 2 HKLR 346 (CA); Mark Jonathan Roberts & Anor v Hampton & Sons [1989] 2 HKLR 89 (HC); The First National Bank of Chicago v Carroway Enterprises Ltd & Ors [1990] 2 HKLR 10 (HC); The Lanka Athula [1991] 1 HKC 101 (CA); The Mahkutai [1993] 2 HKC 71, [1994] 1 HKLR 212 (CA); Greenwood Ltd v Pearl River Container Transportation Ltd & Anor [1994] 1 HKC 585 (HC); S Megga Telecommunications Ltd v Etowaru Co Ltd & Anor [1995] 2 HKC 761 (CA); DFS Trading Ltd & Anor v Swiss Air Transport Co Ltd & Ors [1997] 1 HKC 547 (HC); Daewoo Hong Kong Ltd v Mana Maritime Inc & Ors [1997] 3 HKC 109, HKLRD 1264; (2) will the holding of the trial in that foreign forum deprive the plaintiff of any legitimate personal or juridical advantage that he would enjoy were the trial held in Hong Kong: The Atlantic Star v The Bona Spes [1974] AC 436, [1973] 2 All ER 175 (HL); Chase Bank International v Carlos Shalon Sultan Abadi [1986] HKLR 1104 (HC); National Union Fire Insurance Co of Pittsburgh, PA v Grand Union Insurance Co Ltd (CACV 105/92, unreported); (3) if there is such a personal or juridical advantage, the court has to balance the advantages of holding the trial in the natural forum against the detriment suffered by the plaintiff. See also Civil law; Forum non conveniens. 拉丁語 – 適當的司法管轄權。指可尋求法律補救的法院，此等法院可就手頭上有待審訊及訊問的事項而成為最便於審理的地方的法院。有關的驗證是要裁定在按照《高等法院規則》（第4A章）第11號命令而作出的擱置申請或在司法管轄範圍外送達令狀的申請而言，香港法院是否屬於便於審理的法院。法院可以不便於審理的法院的身份就某特定事項拒絕行使司法管轄權，但在普通法的司法管轄權上，法院一般不接受此等棄權。在裁定法院就有關審訊而言是否屬於便於審理的法院時，會考慮三個階段的問題： (1) 除香港之外，就有關訴訟而言，是否有另一處自然而合適的訴訟地：Guihing Agricultural and Development Corp & Ors v Palawan (Owners) [1982] HKLR 513 （上訴法庭）；Wo Fung Paper Making Factory Ltd v Sappi Kraft (Pty) Ltd [1988] HKC 10, 2 HKLR 346, （上訴法庭）；Mark Jonathan Roberts & Ano v Hampton & Sons [1989] 2 HKLR 89（高等法院）；The First National Bank of Chicago v Carroway Enterprises Ltd & Ors [1990] 2 HKLR 10（高等法院）；The Lanka Athula [1991] 1 HKC 101 (上訴法院)；The Mahkutai [1993] 2 HKC 71, [1994] 1 HKLR 212 (上訴法庭)；Greenwood Ltd v Pearl River Container Transportation Ltd [1994] 1 HKC 585（高等法院）；S Megga Telecommunications Ltd v Etowaru Co Ltd [1995] 2 HKC 761 （上訴法庭）；DFS Trading Ltd v Swiss Air Transport Co Ltd [1997] 1 HKC 547（高等法院）；Daewoo Hong Kong Ltd v Mana Maritime Inc [1997] 3 HKC 109,HKLRD 1264；(2) 在該等外國訴訟地舉行審訊會否剝奪原告人原本在香港審訊的話可享有的合法個人或司法利益：The Atlantic Star [1974] AC 436, [1973] 2 All ER 175 （上議院）; Chase Bank International v Carlos Shalon Sultan Abadi [1986] HKLR 1104（高等法院）；National Union Fire Insurance Co of Pittsburgh, PA v Grand Union Insurance Co Ltd （民事上訴1992年第105號，未經彙報）；(3) 如存在此等個人或司法利益，法院須就原告人所蒙受的損害以及在本土訴訟地舉行審訴的利益作出平衡。另見 Civil law; Forum non conveniens。 |
