从立法与司法的关系谈最密切联系原则的移植

A New Perspective on the Transplantation of the Doctrine of the Most Significant Relationship

以历史研究法考察最密切联系原则的产生和形成过程,指出最密切联系原则的核心问题是自由裁量权的问题。然后从立法权与司法权关系的角度,用比较方法分析在最密切联系原则的运用上英美法系和大陆法系对法官自由裁量权的不同制约机制,指出:以两大法系的经验为借鉴,在我国移植最密切联系原则的关键是要由立法机关运用这一原则为审判机关设定冲突规范,以确保审判机关正当地行使自由裁量权。

From the viewpoint of the relationship between legislative power and judiciary power, it is not difficult to see that the two major legal systems respectively design and develop different mechanisms to restrain the judicial discretion in the application of the doctrine of the most significant relationship. According to the experiences of Anglo - American Common law tradition and the European continental Roman law tradition, while the doctrine of the most significant relationship transplanted in China, the hope of judi- cial justice is mostly laid on legislation. It should be the legislative body that applies the doctrine to formulate exact and strict conflict rules to prevent the abuse of the judicial discretion of the judge.
