绝对独立论还是相对独立论?——兼评“新加坡益得满亚洲私人有限公司申请承认与执行外国仲裁裁决”一案

Doctrine of Relative Independence or Doctrine of Absolute Independence?——Additional comment on the case of“Application of Recognition and Enforcement of a Foreign Arbitral Award by Asia Private Limited Company of Singapore”

相对独立论认为,仲裁协议应在某些情况下进行区分,对于基础合同自始无效或根本不存在的情形,仲裁协议亦应相应无效。绝对独立论认为,在独立性或可分性的适用上,无须对不同情况进行区分,即使基础合同自始无效或根本不存在也不影响仲裁协议的效力。绝对独立论乃是今后的趋势。

Doctrine of relative independence holds that arbitration agreements should be distinguished in certain circumstances,and an arbitration agreement is invalid if the basic contract is invalid,or did not come into existence.Doctrine of absolute independence holds that it is not necessary to distinguish the application of independence or separability,and the effect of an arbitration agreement is not affected even the basic contract is invalid or did not come into existence.Doctrine of absolute independence is the trend in future.
