首要条款是提单诸多背面条款中重要的条款之一,不仅关系到提单各当事人的权利义务和义务,而且还会涉及有关法律适用的一系列复杂问题。提单背面条款中还会出现法律选择条款、地区条款、管辖权条款等一些规定法律适用方面的条款,使得首要条款的性质、效力等问题变得错综复杂。而要解决首要条款的效力问题,避免同一案件适用不同的法律,产生不同的结果,必须要先认清首要条款的性质。 The first clause is one of the important clauses in the back of the bill of lading many terms, not only related to the rights and obligations of parties to the bill of lading, but also involves a series of complex issues related to the law applicable. The back of the bill of lading provisions will appear in the legal choice of terms, regional provisions, provisions of jurisdiction and other provisions of the law applicable provisions, making the prime clause of the nature, effectiveness and other issues become complicated. To solve the issue of the validity of the primary article, to avoid applying different laws in the same case and produce different results, we must first understand the nature of the primary article.
