Application of the International Practice to Taiwan-Related Civil and Commercial Cases

The Taiwan-related civil and commercial cases tried by mainland courts can be applied to the international practice. When mainland law as an applicable law has no relevant provisions but international conventions on the controversial issue exist on the case, the judge can decide whether to apply the international practice. On the other hand, the related parties in the case may also have the right to choose to use the international convention. In general, the international practice is applicable to Taiwan-related sales of goods, transportation, insurance, payment, settlement and others, but is restricted by domestic mandatory rules and the reservation of public order. However, the unified private law pact of entity can be applicable as ＂international practice＂ to the Taiwan-related civil and commercial cases.
