民初荣县商事公断的制度与践行:兼与苏沪等都会区比较

System and Practice of Commercial Arbitration in Rongxian County in the Early Republic of China:A Comparison with Metropolitan Areas Including Suzhou and Shanghai

民国初期,经济的发展使得商事纠纷增加,顺应商人的要求,商事公断处应运而生。商事公断处的建立在苏州、上海等地取得了较好成效,但透过对民初荣县商事公断的研究发现,在经济不甚发达的内陆基层地区,商事公断存在着一些现象,如声请受案范围不合规范、一事断后再声请、公断具体过程不明等,此类现象的发生使得民初商事公断呈现出复杂多样的形态。

In the early republic of China, economic development led to the increase of commercial disputes. Conforming to the require- ments of merchants, commercial arbitrary organs emerged accordingly. The establishment of commercial arbitrary organs achieved good results in Suzhou, Shanghai and other places. However, research on commercial arbitration in Rongxian County in the early republic of China showed that commercial arbitration in inland grassroots areas with underdeveloped economy had some phenomena such as substandard scope of applying for accepting cases, reapplication after the arbitration of one dispute and unclear specific process of arbitration. Due to the occurrence of this kind of phenomena, commercial arbitration in the early republic of China presented complex and diverse forms.
