我国涉自贸区仲裁中的“涉外性”认定

A Study on How to Determine the “Foreign Elements” of the Arbitration of China's Free Trade Zone

传统的涉外认定标准已无法满足自贸区仲裁的新要求,我国司法实践对这一认定标准进行了有益补充。我国法院在涉自贸区仲裁案件中对涉外性的认定仍以传统的主体、客体和法律事实标准为依据,对《涉外法律适用法司法解释》中"其他情形"的解释也是在三要素范围内进行,具体表现在:主体范围的扩大、履行客体内涵的扩充、法律事实认定时间的延长。我国当前仲裁制度和立法还有待完善,过于宽泛的认定标准可能冲击我国的本土仲裁制度,应对涉外认定标准进行适当限制。法官应甄别当事方人为制造的"虚假涉外"情形,在认定涉外时系争民商事关系要与外国有实质联系,发挥自由裁量权时要合理有据。

The traditional definition of foreign elements can not meet the new requirements of the arbitration of China＇s Free Trade Zone. Therefore, our judicial practice makes useful supplement to the standard. In the Free Trade Zone arbitration cases, our courts determine foreign elements with the standards of subject, object and legal fact, and the explanation of ＂other circumstances＂ of the First Judicial Interpretation of the Law of the Application of Law for Foreign -Related Civil Relations of the People＇s Republic of China is based on the three elements, which are explicitly reflected in the expansion of subject scope, the extension of time of legal fact. Our arbitration system and legislation remain to be perfected, and wide standards may impede our domestic arbitration system, so we should make some restrictions on the standard. Judges should distinguish the artificial foreign elements made by contract parties, determine the controversial civil relations which have material connection with foreign countries, and exert the discretion with reasonable gist.
