外国法查明:“一带一路”背景下的新思考

Ascertainment of Foreign Law——New Thinking in the Context of One Belt and One Road Strategy

"一带一路"战略实施的背景下,涉外民商事案件在外国法的查明对象、查明难度和查明途径方面呈现出新的趋势和特点。我国在外国法查明路径的设计上应强调当事人自主查明外国法的责任,坚持法院的监督和辅助职能,规范查明程序,完善查明外国法的方法,强化专家证人查明外国法的作用并细化程序规则,在维护当事人正当期望和合理利用司法资源之间尽量做到平衡,为我国"一带一路"战略实施打造公平公正的司法和营商环境。

In the context of the implementation of One Belt and One Road Strategy, civil and commercial cases involving foreign elements are showing new trends and features in terms of targets, difficulties and channels of ascertaining foreign laws. Therefore, in order to establish a fair and justifiable judicial environment and business atmosphere in our country, the relevant parties' duty of proving foreign law shall be emphasized when designing our foreign law ascertaining system, and the courts' function of supervision and assistance shall be maintained at the same time. The procedures of proving shall benormalized; the methods of proving shall be improved; the function and rules for expert witness of proving foreign law shall be strengthened and refined; the balance between the parties' legitimate expectation and reasonable use of judicial resources shall be maintained.
