Abstract

This essay for the Yearbook of Private International Law discusses the Securing the Protection of Our Enduring and Established Constitutional Heritage Act (SPEECH Act) enacted by the U.S. Congress in 2010. The Act sought to address the perceived problem of libel tourism - the decision by plaintiffs in defamation suits to sue in jurisdictions with minimal ties to the case but with plaintiff-friendly substantive law - and has generated considerable discussion and commentary in the years since it was enacted. The essay first provides an overview of the Act. It then reviews the U.S. cases that have interpreted and applied the Act. It concludes by surveying the academic commentary relating to the Act.
《言论法》与美国外国诽谤判决的执行
这篇为《国际私法年鉴》撰写的文章讨论了美国国会于2010年颁布的《保护我国持久和确立的宪法遗产法案》(SPEECH Act)。该法案试图解决人们察觉到的“诽谤旅游”问题——原告在诽谤诉讼中决定在与案件关系最小的司法管辖区提起诉讼,但采用对原告有利的实体法——自该法案颁布以来,多年来引发了相当多的讨论和评论。这篇文章首先概述了该法案。然后回顾了解释和适用该法案的美国案例。最后,调查了与该法案有关的学术评论。
