仲裁实体法选择方法的实体化及其展开——以最密切联系原则为中心

The Substantial Orientation of Choice of Substantive Law in International Commercial Arbitration

实体法的确定和适用,是国际商事仲裁程序的核心问题之一。纵观国际商事仲裁关于实体法选择方法的演变,可以发现,在当事人没有明确选择实体法时,仲裁庭在推定当事人的默示法律选择和自行选择实体法方面,以"最密切联系原则"为基础,仲裁员的内心确信和衡平观念的作用日益显性化,并最终推动了"直接适用方法"的形成。该方法既表征着国际商事仲裁程序的自由化趋势,也是以最密切联系原则为途径之一的国际私法的实体取向的发展结果。

The choice and application of substantive law is the core of international commercial arbitral proceedings.Reviewing the approach to choice of substantive law in international commercial arbitration,it can be noted that,in the process of determining the implied choice of law of the parties and the applicable law chosen by the arbitrators,based on the doctrine of the most significant relationship,the tribunal's own standards of justice and equity are becoming more obvious,and finally contributes to the establishment of the direct choice method.This method symbolizes the liberalization trend as well as the substantial orientation of contemporary private international law.
