涉网案件地域管辖规则修改问题刍议

On Revising the Rule of the Territorial Jurisdiction of the Case Related to Internet

互联网空间地址与现实空间地址的非对应性,使运用《民事诉讼法》中的地域管辖规定去判断涉及互联网案件的管辖法院会有一定困难。目前学者们解决该问题的思路,主要集中于针对互联网的特点,建构新的地域管辖规则。但本文认为,目前《民事诉讼法》规定的地域管辖制度具有合理性,不需要也不能够针对互联网的特点去修改法典的规定。解决地域管辖规定适用困难的方向,应当是发展包括解释地域管辖法律和认定地域管辖事实在内的司法技术。

That cyberspace does not correspond with actual address leads to the problem that court will meet during its decision on whether it has the jurisdiction upon a case related to internet according to the territorial jurisdiction rules of the code of civil procedure.For most scholars,the way to resolve the problem mainly is to rebuild new territorial jurisdiction rules which are based on the nature of the internet.This article,however,holds that the territorial jurisdiction rules in the code of civil procedure is justifiable to be adopted.The code need not and could not be amended because of the nature of the internet.To develop the judicial technologies which can be used in explaining laws and finding facts about territorial jurisdiction is the best method to resolve the problem in applying territorial jurisdiction rules.
