诉讼程序中止与强制执行仲裁协议——谈法院对仲裁协议效力的支持

On Staying the Court Proceedings and Enforcing the Arbitration Agreement

中止诉讼程序和强制执行仲裁协议,是法院保证仲裁协议有效实现和支持仲裁健康发展的重要表现。目前,各国在诉讼程序中止问题上已基本达成共识,有关的立法和实践也渐趋一致,但对法院强制执行仲裁协议的问题则尚存分歧。新的国际立法趋势是承认法院有命令强制执行仲裁协议的权力。我国在借鉴国际经验完善我国仲裁立法的过程中,无疑应对国际的普遍实践和新的立法趋势作出客观的分析和理智的选择。

Staying proceedings and enforcing the arbitration agreement are very important measures taken by the court to ensure the carrying out of the arbitration agreement and the development of arbitration system. As to staying the court proceedings, almost all countries share the common theory, and also their law and practice have become more and more similar to one another. But as to enforcing the arbitration agreement, there still exist different theories or viewpoints in the international society. Admitting the court's power of ordering to enforce the arbitration agreement is a new international legislation trend. When bettering our country's arbitration law with the salutary experience drawing from the international legislation and practice, we should make proper choice after reasonable research.
