国际私法中最密切联系原则的理论发展

On the Development of the Doctrine of the Most Significant Relationship in Theory

随着时代的变迁,最密切联系原则在理论和实践中都不断地发展完善着。以判例法为主要渊源的美国,虽然赋予法官较大的自由裁量权,对最密切联系原则采用了"灵活性"的适用方法,但已有从"方法"到"规则"的回归趋势。欧陆国家对最密切联系原则进行改良,采用将最密切联系原则具体化的理论——特征性履行说。最密切联系原则的发展在理论上表现为规则化、限制化的趋势。

With the changes of the times,the doctrine of the most significant relationship is becoming perfect.Although America whose source of law is case law endows judges with discretionary power and adopts flexible method,the trend is from method to rule.European mainland countries amend the doctrine of the most significant relationship and introduce Characteristic Performance Theory that embodies the doctrine of the most significant relationship.The development of the doctrine of the most significant relationship in theory represents regularization and limitation.
