内地与香港民商事判决的相互承认与执行:现状与前瞻

Mutual Recognition and Enforcement of Civil and Commercial Judgements between China's Mainland and Hong Kong SAR:?Present Situation and Prospects

香港回归祖国后 ,按照“一国两制”的基本原则 ,内地与香港成为一个主权国家的两个独立法域。两地现行立法使民商事判决的相互承认与执行存在一定障碍 ,不仅造成了执行上的困难 ,也使执行结果难以预测。通过司法协助 ,在平等协商的基础上以协议的方式确立相互承认与执行民商事判决的原则与机制 ,是保护两地当事人合法权益 ,进一步促进双方民商事交往 ,贯彻“一国两制”

On the basis of “one country, two systems” doctrine, China's Mainland and Hong Kong are two independent legal regions within one sovereign state. There are still some impediments to mutual recognition and enforcement of judgements under the current law of the two regions. It is difficult not only to mutually enforce the judgements, but also to foresee the enforcement results. For this reason, an agreement concerning mutual recognition and enforcement of judgements should be concluded through equal consultation to protect the litigants' legal rights, promote the civil and commercial contacts of the two regions, and, most importantly, ensure the implementation of the “one country, two systems” policy.
