Abstract

Cross-border contracts often contain a clause which purports to reflect the parties’ intention regarding how disputes arising from their agreement should be resolved. Some such contracts might feature a “jurisdiction clause”, thus signifying the parties’ wish to subject their disputes to litigation before the courts in a specific state. Others may include an “arbitration clause”, meaning that claims arising from the contract should be subjected to an arbitral hearing. More unusual are cases in which the parties have included a jurisdiction and an arbitration clause in the same cross-border contract. This article seeks to assess English law’s approach to determining the parties’ preferred mode of dispute resolution in these more difficult cases. As it seeks to demonstrate, the current practice in this area is not always easy to defend. The article advances an alternative basis for determining which of the two competing clauses should prevail.
跨境合同中多重争议解决条款的解释
跨境合同通常包含一个条款,旨在反映双方关于如何解决协议中产生的争议的意图。有些合同可能包含 "管辖权条款",表明双方希望将争议提交特定国家的法院审理。还有一些合同可能包含 "仲裁条款",即合同引起的索赔应接受仲裁审理。更罕见的情况是,当事人在同一跨境合同中同时包含管辖权条款和仲裁条款。本文试图评估英国法律在这些较为棘手的案件中确定当事人首选争议解决方式的方法。正如本文试图证明的那样,该领域的现行实践并不总是易于辩护。本文提出了另一种依据,用于确定两个相互竞争的条款中哪个优先。
