法治视野下最密切联系原则的司法适用

The Judicial Application of the Closest Relationship Principle From the Perspective of the Rule of Law

最密切联系原则的弹性,一方面能够带来法律适用的灵活性,另一方面会引发自由裁量权的滥用。根据各自的法律传统,大陆法系和英美法系形成了不同的针对最密切联系原则的控制模式和手段。然而,在司法大数据的背景下,我国最密切联系原则的灵活性处于失控状态。导致这个问题的原因是多方面的,未来要从立法和司法两个方面增强对最密切联系原则灵活性的控制。

On the one hand,the flexibility of the closest link principle can bring the flexibility of legal application,on the other hand,it will lead to the abuse of discretion.According to their respective legal traditions,civil law system and common law system have formed different control modes and means for the principle of closest relationship.However,in the context of judicial big data,the flexibility of China’s closest link principle is out of control.There are many reasons for this problem.In the future,we should strengthen the control of the flexibility of the principle of the closest link from both legislative and judicial aspects.
