跨国污染损害索赔诉讼首先涉及到管辖权问题,即哪国法院拥有管辖权。针对在某国领土和管辖范围内发生的事故所造成的损害,污染事故发生地国法院、损害发生地国法院、被告的惯常居所地或主要营业地国法院都可能对索赔诉讼享有管辖权。如果发生了管辖权的冲突,大致有以下几种不同的解决办法:协议管辖;最密切联系原则;一事不再理;受害者自己选择。 The lawsuit for cross-border pollution damage claims begins with the question of jurisdiction, which courts have jurisdiction. The courts of the State where the pollution incident occurred, the courts of the State where the damage occurred, the de facto residence of the defendant or the courts of the principal place of business may have jurisdiction over the claim for damages arising from an accident occurring in the territory and jurisdiction of a State. In the event of a conflict of jurisdiction, there are generally several different solutions: agreement jurisdiction; the principle of the closest relationship; disregard of one thing; the victim’s own choice.
