港、澳回归后的我国区际私法:成就、反思与展望

Inter-regional Private Law among Chinese Mainland, Chinese Hong Kong and Chinese Macao after the Handovers:Achievements, Reflections and Prospects

港、澳回归二十余年来,我国区际私法取得了长足的进步,尤以民商事司法协助领域为最。具有标志性的成果是,回归伊始至近期所取得的一系列区际民商事司法协助安排。这些安排现已覆盖诸多方面,包括送达、取证、判决的承认与执行及仲裁,虽已"初具规模",但尚有可改进的空间。时至今日,我国区际私法的发展也仿佛遇到了"瓶颈"。展望未来,我国区际私法合作的模式应当是三边而非双边安排,在法律基础得到进一步延伸后,拓展区际私法合作的空间。除了区际司法协助,还应在协调管辖权、统一冲突规范和准据法、甚至统一某些实体私法等方面去挖掘广阔的可合作领域。

Since the handovers of Hong Kong and Macao in 1997 and 1999 respectively,China has become a country with multiple legal systems,following which the problem of inter-regional conflict of laws comes to surface.Compared with others,the Chinese problem of inter-regional conflict of laws has its own distinctive features,due to the unique political structure resulting from the policy of"One Country,Two Systems".In the past two decades or so,China has made great achievements for its inter-regional conflict of laws in the field of judicial co-operations despite shortcomings and further improvements needing to be made.Looking to the future,with a sound legal basis,deeper integration of conflict of laws including jurisdiction and choice of law,even substantive private laws among the three regions should/could be achieved in a trilateral way.
