合同自体法理论被认为是英国学者对国际私法的独特贡献。它的产生有其特定的时代背景,包括我国在内不同的学者对这一概念的含义也有着不同的观点。自体法理论与准据法有着密切的联系,但是也存在一些实质性的差别。对于合同自体法这一理论,我们应始终秉持辩证的观点来看待其作用及价值。 The theory of self-contract law is considered as a unique contribution of British scholars to private international law. Its emergence has its own specific historical background. Different scholars including our country also have different views on the meaning of this concept. There is a close relationship between the self-body theory and the applicable law, but there are also some substantive differences. With regard to the theory of contractual self-help law, we should always take a dialectical view of its role and value.
