不对称仲裁条款的法律效力:基于比较法之考察

The Legal Validity of the Asymmetrical Arbitration Clauses:A Comparative Analysis

不对称仲裁条款作为战略风险管理策略,多被企业用于控制风险,但因其在形式上呈现权利的非对等性,以及缺乏明确提交仲裁的意思表示而备受争议,如英国和俄罗斯的态度截然相反。我国司法实践中不承认不对称仲裁条款的法律效力,但在跨境交易日趋深入化和复杂化的今天,一味否认其价值并不能有效解决争议,更无法在我国企业从事跨境贸易时提供更强有力的利益保护,因此应从立法、司法以及合同当事人三个维度对不对称仲裁条款的具体适用进行完善,以充分发挥不对称仲裁条款的价值。

Asymmetrical arbitration clause is frequently used by enterprises for risk management strategy,while the validity of such clause is contentious for in-equivalence of rights in form,and the lack of a clear expression of arbitration,courts in England and Russia.In China’s judicial practice,the legal effect of asymmetrical arbitration clause is not recognized,however,with the deepening and complication of cross-border trade,it is impossible to effectively resolve the dispute without denying its value,and it also can not provide more powerful protection for the enterprises engaged in crossborder trade.Therefore,we should perfect the concrete application of asymmetrical arbitration clause from three dimensions of legislation,judicature and contract parties,so as to give full play to the value of asymmetrical arbitration clause.
