合同债权与仲裁条款转让的再审视——基于实体法、程序法和冲突法的视角

合同转让时,尤其是合同权利转让时仲裁条款是否随之转让的问题,是近年来国际商事仲裁领域的一个重要话题。目前,国内理论界的主流观点以及司法实践支持仲裁条款自动转让。但仲裁条款自动转让的理论依据并不充分,也未解决所有问题,而且对于仲裁条款转让的论证仅仅限于国内法上的视角,并未考虑国际合同转让中仲裁条款的效力和相关的法律冲突与法律适用等问题。本文旨在从实体法、程序法和冲突法的多维角度,进一步探讨合同仲裁条款转让的理论和实践问题,并对当前国内外的立法与实践进行评判,以期进一步完善我国国内的法制和实践。

A Review of the Assignment of Contractural Rights and Arbitration Clause

Whether the arbitration clause in a contract follows the assignment of contractual rights to the assignee has been one of important questions in international commercial arbitration in recent years. Although the principle of voluntary transfer is adopted in the Chinese judicial practice, it is not theoretically persuasive and has not resolved the related prob- lems. Moreover, the discussion concerning the transfer of arbitration clause is on the basis of national law, however its transnational or international background is ignored. This article is to further discuss the related issues concerning the arbi- tration clause from the perspectives of substantive law, procedural law and conflict laws, and make a brief comment on the domestic law and practice, aiming at improving the present domestic legislation.
