摘要

当事人意思自治是当今国际私法的基本原则。尽管当事人意思自治被广泛接受,但在管辖权协议的背景下,它意味着什么?法院如何解释和执行“服从”所选法院管辖权的协议缺乏商业确定性,这违背了当事人意思自治本身的目的,即商业当事人在进行跨境交易时对场所风险的管理。鉴于最近的事态发展,新加坡法院模糊了排他性和非排他性管辖权协议之间的区别,认为如果一方违背其“提交”的协议,同样适用“有力理由”的要求。这是基于对这两类协议同样严格的合同分析和执行。正是在这种背景下,新加坡法院在决定根据普通法行使其管辖权时的做法将得到重新评估,并与英国法院的做法进行比较。

Party autonomy, venue risk and jurisdiction agreements – the Singapore position reappraised
Party autonomy is the defining principle of private international law today. Notwithstanding its broad acceptance, what does party autonomy mean in the context of jurisdiction agreements? The lack of commercial certainty in how the agreement to “submit” to the jurisdiction of the courts in the chosen forum will be interpreted and enforced by the courts defeats the very purpose of party autonomy itself, which is the management of venue risk by commercial parties in entering into cross-border transactions. In light of recent developments, the Singapore court has blurred the distinction between exclusive and non-exclusive jurisdiction agreements by holding that the same requirement of “strong cause” applies if a party reneges on its agreement to “submit”. This is premised on the same strict contractual analysis and enforcement of both types of agreements. It is against this background that the approach of the Singapore courts in determining the exercise of their own jurisdiction under the common law will be reappraised, along with a comparison with the practice of the English courts.
