粤港澳大湾区背景下澳门特别行政区仲裁协议的效力扩张问题

The Expansion of the Validity of the Arbitration Agreement in the Macao Special Administrative Region against the Background of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area

粤港澳大湾区的融合发展,促使了澳门特别行政区出台经济适度多元化政策,而仲裁作为一种独特的替代性争议解决方式在此过程中扮演着重要的角色。澳门特别行政区政府为促进澳门特别行政区仲裁业的发展,出台了一系列政策及重新修订澳门特别行政区《仲裁法》。但仲裁协议扩张的效力问题仍未得到明晰,仲裁协议是否约束未曾签署该协议的人或未明示纳入其中的法律关系需要进一步针对具体法律语境进行探讨。为此本文针对澳门特别行政区法律规定的若干典范及非传统的关联合同中有关仲裁协议移转或延伸等问题进行分析。

The integration and development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has prompted Macao SAR to introduce a policy of moderate economic diversification,and arbitration,as a unique form of alternative dispute resolution,plays an important role in this process.The Macao SAR Government has introduced a series of policies and re-amended arbitration law in order to promote the development of the arbitration industry in the Macao SAR.However,the effect of the expansion of the arbitration agreement remains unclear,and the question of whether the arbitration agreement binds persons who have not signed the agreement(hereinafter referred to as“non-signatories”)or legal relationships not expressly incorporated therein needs to be further explored in a specific legal context.In this regard,this article analyses the issues of transfer or extension of arbitration agreements in a number of exemplary and non-traditional related contracts under Macao SAR law.
