内地和香港民商事判决相互承认执行的最新发展

The Latest Development of Reciprocal Recognition and Enforcement Judgments in Commercial Matters between China's Mainland and Hong Kong

2006年7月,内地和香港签署了《关于内地与香港特别行政区法院相互认可和执行当事人协议管辖的民商事案件判决的安排》。从其主要内容来看,它在一定程度上包容了内地的审判监督制度,并将内地所有具有涉外民商事案件审判权的法院的判决纳入进来,具有突破意义。但是,它的局限性也不容忽视。为了进一步促进两地民商事判决流通的合作,我们应该赋予互惠原则新的涵义并完善内地的审判监督制度。同时,香港也应该逐渐建立对内地的司法信任。

On July 14, 2006, the mainland of China and Hong Kong signed Arrangement on Reciprocal Recognition and Enforcement Judgments in Commercial Matters （REJ）, which is a breakthrough to some extent. First, it tolerates the trial supervision system of the mainland of China. Moreover, it includes all courts of China's Mainland which has ju- risdiction over international civil and commercial cases. However, the REJ has its limitations too. In order to accelerate the cooperation of the circulation of the judgments between China's Mainland and Hong Kong, we should redefine the reciprocity principle and perfect our trial supervision system. At the same time, Hong Kong should set up judicial confidence in China's Mainland step by step.
