摘要

本条涉及加拿大法院对跨界污染的管辖权。它认为,气候变化的外国受害者对当地温室气体排放者提起的侵权诉讼可以克服管辖权障碍,特别是当地诉讼规则,并在加拿大进行。当地诉讼规则规定,加拿大法院无权审理涉及外国土地的索赔,即使索赔仅属于侵权行为。它被认为是涉及外国土地的跨界环境争端中的一个重大管辖障碍。这种假设具有误导性。越来越多的软性法律文书支持所有跨界污染受害者平等诉诸来源国法院的概念。加拿大各省的法院对源自该省的污染拥有管辖权,在侵权诉讼中,地方诉讼规则的效力问题上,判例法的分歧比一般假设的要大。这篇文章的结论对加拿大和其他温室气体生产大国的跨界环境争端具有重要意义。它们还强调了国际私法在我们应对气候变化的全球行动中发挥的适度但潜在有意义的作用。

Local polluters, foreign land and climate change: the myth of the local action rule in Canada
This article addresses the jurisdiction of Canadian courts over transboundary pollution. It argues that a tort lawsuit brought by foreign victims of climate change against local greenhouse gas emitters could overcome jurisdictional obstacles, notably the local action rule, and proceed in Canada. The local action rule provides that Canadian courts have no jurisdiction to hear a claim involving foreign land, even when the claim lies solely in tort. It is thought to be a significant jurisdictional obstacle in transboundary environmental disputes involving foreign land. This assumption is misleading. A growing corpus of soft law instruments supports the notion of equal access to the courts of the state of origin for all victims of transboundary pollution. The courts of Canadian provinces have jurisdiction over pollution originating in the province, and the case law is more divided than generally assumed over the effect of the local action rule in tort litigation. The conclusions of this article have important implications for transboundary environmental disputes in Canada and other top greenhouse gas-producing countries. They also highlight a modest but potentially meaningful role for private international law in our global response to climate change.
