论新《民诉法》第34条对涉外协议管辖的法律适用

On the application of the Article 34 to the contractual jurisdiction involving foreign element

2012年新《民事诉讼法》删除了2007年《民诉法》对涉外协议管辖的一些专门规定,通过第259条的参照适用,从而在总则编第34条等条款中对内外协议管辖进行了归并处理。这种取消国内与涉外协议管辖区分立法、分类适用的双轨制安排,一定程度上促进了我国民事诉讼协议管辖的内外统一和国民待遇的完善。但是,我国在国内协议管辖中一贯沿用的实际联系和唯一确定性的适用标准与国际通行的惯常做法,尚存在较大的差异,给当事人选择适用涉外协议管辖带来了新的不确定性的法律风险。

The new Civil Procedure Law amended in 2012 deleted provisions about the contractual jurisdiction involving foreign element of the Civil Procedure Law of 2007,and merged it into the Article 34 of the General Provisions of the new Civil Procedure Law. This legal arrangement not only promotes the unification of internal and international contractual jurisdiction,but also improve the performance of national treatment in civil procedure in China. Nervertheless,the principle of significant relationship and the rule of the only one selected forum are different from international useages and practices,so that it is risky for parties to the contractual jurisdiction involving foreign element to apply the new Civil Procedure Law.
