Abstract
Since the implementation of the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration in 1985, its jurisprudence has been developed in a broad array of aspects amongst which is the distinction between jurisdiction and admissibility. It has been said that the distinction is a useful tool in adjudicating the issue of whether an arbitral award should be set aside by a domestic court—but is it necessarily so? In C v D (2023) 26 HKCFAR 216, the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal had the opportunity to revisit the usefulness of the distinction. Given that the Court was divided on the issue, C v D not only provides two lines of thought for the international arbitration community to reflect on the distinction between jurisdiction and admissibility but also provides a reference for Model Law jurisdictions in deciding future cases.
自 1985 年实施《贸易法委员会国际商事仲裁示范法》以来,其判例在广泛的方面得到了发展,其中包括管辖权和可受理性之间的区别。有人说,在裁决国内法院是否应撤销仲裁裁决的问题时,这种区别是一种有用的工具,但是否一定如此呢?在 C v D (2023) 26 HKCFAR 216 一案中,香港终审法院有机会重新审视这一区别是否有用。鉴于法院在这一问题上存在分歧,C v D 一案不仅为国际仲裁界提供了两条思路来反思管辖权和可受理性之间的区别,而且为《示范法》司法管辖区今后裁决案件提供了参考。
