论《涉外民事关系法律适用法》的实质正义取向

On Substantial Justice Orientation of Law of the Application of Law for Foreign-Related Civil Relations of the People's Republic of China

2010年10月28日通过的《涉外民事关系法律适用法》比较明显的一个特点是体现了对法的实质正义价值的追求,这一特点在条文中主要体现为在婚姻家庭和特殊合同领域对弱者合法权益的保护、促进某些法律行为有效成立和促进身份关系确立的其他结果导向规则的大幅采纳以及最密切联系原则地位的提升,体现了国际私法的人本主义取向。而实质正义所外化的诸多富有弹性的法律选择规则在实践中会对法官素质提出更高的要求。

It is important to private international law academia that Law of the Application o J Law, for Foreign-Related Civil Relations of the People＇s Republic of China be adopted eventually on October 28th, 2010. The obvious feature of the Law is the pursuit of substantial justice, which embodies the following： protecting the rights and interests of the disadvantaged parties in the civil relations of marrige and family and certain kind of special contracts; employing result-oriented rules to establish legal transactions and identity relationship; promoting the status of the doctrine of the most significant relationship. AI though the Law is human-oriented, the substantial justice implied in the flexible choice of law rules chal lenges the moral and professional competences of judges.
