香港企业的商事争议很大部分为合同争议。香港合同法律适用规则引导香港法院确定涉外合同的准据法,这些规则的渊源是主要为判例,辅之以成文法例。香港法院在确定涉外合同准据法时依次采用三条主要规则,即尊重涉外合同当事人对准据法的明示选择、推定当事人默示选择,以及适用与合同有最密切、最真实联系的法律。通过与内地涉外合同法律适用规则的比较,总结出香港涉外合同法律适用规则的特点及司法实践趋势,以加深对香港涉外合同法律适用的认识和理解。
Most of the commercial disputes in Hong Kong enterprises are contract disputes. The rules governing the application of contract law in Hong Kong guide the Hong Kong courts to determine the applicable law of foreign-related contracts. The origin of these rules is mainly precedent, supplemented by statutory law. When determining the law applicable to foreign-related contracts, the Hong Kong courts adopt three main rules in sequence, namely, respecting the parties’ explicit choice of the law applicable to foreign parties, presuming the implied choice of the parties, and applying the law that has the closest and most authentic connection with the contract. Through the comparison with the law applicable in foreign-related contracts in the Mainland, this paper summarizes the characteristics of the law applicable to foreign-related contracts in Hong Kong and the trend of judicial practice in order to deepen the understanding and understanding of the legal application of foreign-related contracts in Hong Kong.
