不方便法院原则是英美法系国家法院在不方便审理某具体案件时,拒绝行使管辖权的一项制度。据我国内地现行管辖制度,内地法院在审理某些涉港澳台民商事案件时也同样存在极为不便的现象。本文在考察我国司法实践和立法现状的基础上,认为在立法中规定不方便法院原则具有紧迫性和可行性。 The inconvenient court principle is a system in which the common law courts of the common-law system refuse to exercise jurisdiction when it is inconvenient to hear a specific case. According to the existing governing system in the Mainland, the Mainland courts also face the most inconvenience when they hear some cases involving Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and the people. On the basis of reviewing the judicial practice and legislation status quo in our country, this article holds that it is urgent and feasible to stipulate the principle of forum inconvenience in the legislation.
