摘要
在跨国民商事诉讼案件中,管辖权的确定是至关重要的,无论对于双方当事人,还是对于受理案件的法院来讲,都是如此。为了对抗原告的挑选法院,被告则可以援引“不方便法院”原则。为确保“不方便法院”原则的效用,上诉审查应采用更严格的标准。
In the international civil procedure, the principle of forum non-conveniens is of great impor- tance to the parties and the court. The principal goal of this article is to point the way toward a more re- fined understanding of the ideal of the principle. it begins by describing the instrumental framework of the principle, especially in UK and U. S. In the second part, the article discusses the main cause for European continental countries not to accept the principle, in favor of a broad application. This article suggests sev- eral ways to reform the principle.
