意思自治原则在国际商事法庭中的运用

The Application on Principle of Party Autonomy in International Commercial Courts

高水平的当事人意思自治有助于一国国际商事法庭提升司法竞争力。各国国际商事法庭中意思自治的深度与广度存在很大差异。我国国际商事法庭中的意思自治非常有限。为了充分实现我国国际商事法庭的制度功能,应适当优化我国国际商事法庭中的意思自治,选择对现有制度触动不大但对国际商事法庭优势发挥效果较大的领域先行推进意思自治。取消协议选择法院的实际联系限制,识别适宜强化意思自治的领域进行率先尝试,是我国国际商事法庭中意思自治原则的具体优化路径。
