海上人身损害赔偿计算标准适用“受诉法院所在地”案例分析

A case analysis on the application of “the place where the accepting court is located” to the calculation standard of the maritime personal injury compensation

审判实践中,我国各海事法院、一审和二审法院就海上人身损害赔偿案件如何适用"受诉法院所在地"问题上意见不统一。针对这一问题,通过案例分析,得出其产生的原因,并结合对比分析我国不同法院对这一问题的不同操作原则,提出将"受诉法院所在地"理解为实际审判法院或法庭所在地,根据赔偿权利人的诉求让赔偿权利人对其主张负"住所地或经常居住地"的举证责任,以期对这一问题在全国法院得到适用上的统一有所帮助。
