互联网案件中协议管辖有效性判断

Reasonable Application of Agreement Jurisdiction on Internet-Related Civil Cases

协议管辖依当事人自治为基础,将管辖权的确定权交由当事人来完成,从理论上讲应该是确立管辖权最有效和最直接的方式。在互联网案件中,面对互联网的无边界性所带来的传统属地和属人管辖规则难以确定的情况,协议管辖尽显其在互联网案件中管辖权确定的确定性和可预见性的优势。但网络资源占有的不平等,使得对协议管辖有效性的判断,成为互联网案件协议管辖适用时需要考量的重点。

Based on the autonomy of party,agreement jurisdiction entrusts the determinacy of jurisdiction to the party,which may be regarded as the most effective and direct mode in determining jurisdiction.Among the internet-related cases,agreement jurisdiction reveals its advantages of determinacy and predictability determined by jurisdiction owing to the traditional dependency brought by internet non-boundaries and the indeterminacy brought by personal jurisdiction rules.However,a problem will arise when the agreement jurisdiction is applied to internet-related cases because of the inequality of network resources possession.
