论反致的不合理性

反致是国际私法上特有的制度,但在逻辑上有严重缺陷。它基本不考虑受致送国对于反致的态度,因而并不能体现对于外国法的尊重,也不能保障判决结果的一致性。随着反致制度的规则化、成文化,其灵活性也渐渐消失。更重要的是,只有当受致送国不接受反致时,反致才能体现人们所赋予它的优越性,而随着越来越多的国家采用它,这一优势越来越受到削弱。由于当代国际私法的新发展,其所追求的目标大多可通过其他方式实现。因此我国立法不必借鉴这一制度。

On the Unreasonableness of Renvoi

Renvoi,which is unique to private international law,can neither show sufficient respect to foreign laws nor achieve enough harmony of judgments owning to its logic defects and its negligence of other countries' attitude toward it.Besides,the flexibility which it once boasted is disappearing as the result of its becoming from a method to a rule.It can only achieve its advantages when the country which is directed by the conflict rule of lex fori does not accept it,while these advantages are weaken now because it is now adopted by more and more countries.In the meanwhile modern conflict laws supplies other ways to substitute for its function.Therefore there is no need to adopt it in the future legislation of China.
