关于永宁公司案几个问题的再思考

Rethinking of the case of Yongning Corporation

认定合资合同的仲裁条款是否适用于合资一方与合资公司的争议,应对该争议进行实质判断,确认其是否落入"因执行本合同所发生的或与本合同有关的争议"的范围。永宁公司与合资公司的租赁纠纷应受仲裁条款管辖,这一认定不仅不违反合同相对性原则,相反,其更契合意思自治精神。为与《纽约公约》的规定保持一致,应认可国内当事人将无涉外因素之争议提交外国仲裁的权利,这并不会导致当事人逃避强制性规定的现象。《纽约公约》第5条的公共政策与其他拒绝承认及执行之理由,存在着重叠适用的情形。为仲裁裁决执行的稳定性和可预期性之考虑,对公共政策的适用应当十分谨慎。

To decide whether the arbitration clause of the joint venture contract should apply to disputes between the joint venture party and the joint venture corporation, we should make a substantive judgment that whether the dispute falls within the scope of application of the clause. The lease disputes between Yongning Corporation and the Joint Venture Corporation should be subject to the jurisdiction of the arbitration clause. This finding does not violate the principle of relativity of the contract; on the contrary, it is more in line with the spirit of autonomy.To keep pace with the provisions of the New York Convention, domestic parties should be entitled to submit disputes without foreign elements to foreign arbitration, which would not lead to the avoidance of mandatory provisions.There is an overlap between the application of public policy in Article 5 of the New York Convention and other situations of refusing recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitration awards.For the stability and predictability of the execution of arbitration awards, we should apply the public policy cautiously.
