  第一部分 國際私法中弱者利益保護論題的背景

  首先,任何一部法律都是時代的產物,任何一種原則或者規則的誕生都離不開時代的本身。隨著全球政治的多元化和各國經濟的互補性日益增強,特別是目前“一帶一路”戰略的鋪開使得我國與其他國家的交往更加密切。目前,互聯網的發展已經從電子信息時代進入微時代,便利的交流方式使得跨國貿易及人口流動愈加頻繁、涉外民商事交往活動之規模日益擴大,致使各種涉外糾紛發生的頻率和數量都逐步增長。當前的研究應當不止立足于對涉外糾紛的解決,也應當致力于規避與解決法律沖突,因此應當更加深入而廣泛地了解其他國家的法律,以達到和諧的國際社會狀態。第二,20世紀30年代,美國興起沖突法革命,要求實質正義代替形式正義。20世紀末,社會本位成為許多國家沖突立法的主導思想和主要原則。社會本位的法律觀追求國內乃至國際社會公共和整體利益最大化,注重社會整體均衡發展,保障社會整體效率提升,以社會為基本出發點構建法律制度和法律規則,要求一國的私法遵循國際社會公認的準則,為整個人類的可持續發展建立良好的法律秩序。在這樣的法律觀下,對弱者利益的保護對于國際私法來說始終是十分重要的命題。第三,2011年我國《民事法律關系法律適用法》頒布,而2016年開始我國進行編纂民法典工程。在民法典的編纂中,如何定位與進一步修改法律適用法也將是一個重要的議題。而在之后的修改之中,應繼續考慮如何進一步更好地保護弱者的權利并同時達到法律所要求的真正平等,以更好地實現社會利益和個人利益的協調,最終實現社會的和諧。

  1、中文檢索詞語

  弱者、有利于原則、強制性沖突規范、法律適用

  2、英文檢索詞語

  The interests of the Weak, Protection, Public Policy, Substantive Justice, Applicable law

  四、閱讀對象

  目前,國際公約和大多數國家的實體法都傾向于保護弱者的利益。有些從原則和制度的制定方面入手,有些從沖突規范上對弱者權益給予特殊規定以體現對弱者利益的保護。當前來看,各國對弱者利益的保護主要體現在涉外婚姻家庭領域、涉外合同領域和涉外侵權領域。2011年我國《涉外民事關系法律適用法》正式實施,這是我國加強對弱者權益保護的重要體現。但我們通過對此也可以發現,相較于域外國際私法立法,我國無論在立法還是在司法裁判中對于弱者利益的保護都還相當欠缺。本文希望通過對國內外文獻的檢索和梳理,為之后從事國際私法弱者利益研究的人員所用。故從廣泛意義上來說,所有與本文論點相關的人員都是本文的閱讀對象,其中主要包括:立法者、法官、國際私法學者、涉外民事案件的當事人、律師。

  ●《李敏等訴區兆深撫養費案》,廣東省中山市中級人民法院判決書【(2011)中中法民一終字第776號】

  (1)裁判要點

  二審的焦點之一在于一審法院適用《中華人民共和國婚姻法》的決定是否正確。中山市中級人民法院經審理認為:因李敏、李誠系香港居民,本案為涉港撫養費糾紛。《中華人民共和國涉外民事關系法律適用法》第二十九條規定:“扶養,適用一方當事人經常居所地法律、國籍國法律或者主要財產所在地法律中有利于保護被扶養人權益的法律。”香港特別行政區《未成年人監護條例》規定:“該未成年人的父親或向該申請人支付一筆款項的命令;該筆款項(不論是整筆或分期支付)乃用以應付該未成年人的當前及非經常需要,或用以應付此命令發出前因贍養該未成年人而合理招致的債務或支出,或用以應付上述兩者,款額為法院于顧及該名父親或母親的經濟狀況后認為合理者。”《中華人民共和國婚姻法》第二十一條第二款規定:“父母不履行撫養義務時,未成年的或不能獨立生活的子女,有要求父母付給撫養費的權利。”最高人民法院《關于人民法院審理離婚案件處理子女撫養問題的若干具體意見》第7條規定:“子女撫養費的數額,可根據子女的實際需要、父母雙方的負擔能力和當地的實際生活水平確定。”由于香港與內地法律關于被撫養人撫養費的規定基本一致,故原審適用內地法律并無不當。

  (2)案例討論

  本案中法院在適用法的確定上經過了內地與香港法律對比這一步驟,以便挑選出最有利于當事人的法律。雖然在本案中,內地與香港法律對于被扶養人的規定類似所以法院最后使用了《中華人民共和國婚姻法》,但在司法裁判過程中體現出了對弱者利益的保護。

  ●申請人胡某某與被申請人余某某申請撤銷監護人資格案,上海市閔行區人民法院【(2015)閔民一(民)特字第39號】

  (1)裁判要點

  法院認為,因申請人胡某某系加拿大國籍,本案為涉外監護糾紛。《中華人民共和國涉外民事關系法律適用法》第三十條規定:“監護,適用一方當事人經常居所地法律或者國籍國法律中有利于保護被監護人權益的法律。”本案中,被監護人鄭甲自出生起,便隨父母及外祖父母共同在上海生活,父母去世后,一直由外祖父母實際承擔其日常的生活和學習。從有利于鄭甲的身心健康及成長角度看,適用我國法律更有利于保護鄭甲的權益。

  根據《中華人民共和國民法通則》規定,未成年人的父母是未成年人的監護人。未成年人的父母已經死亡或者沒有監護能力的,由下列人員中有監護能力的人擔任監護人:(一)祖父母、外祖父母;(二)兄、姐;(三)關系密切的其他親屬、朋友愿意擔任監護責任,經未成年人的父、母的所在單位或者未成年人住所地的居民委員會、村民委員會同意的。對擔任監護人有爭議的,由未成年人的父、母的所在單位或者未成年人住所地的居民委員會、村民委員會在近親屬中指定。對指定不服提起訴訟的,由人民法院裁決。監護人應當履行監護職責,監護人不履行監護職責或者侵害被監護人的合法權益的,應當承擔責任。人民法院可以根據有關人員或者有關單位的申請,撤銷監護人的資格。本案中,被申請人余某某作為鄭甲的外祖母,在鄭甲的父母已經死亡的情形下,是法律規定的鄭甲的首選監護人之一。現余某某有監護能力且愿意承擔監護職責,又經上海市靜安區江寧路街道新安居民委員會指定,其依法擔任鄭甲的監護人。依照法律規定,申請人也可以擔任鄭甲的監護人,但雙方經過協商,達成了由余某某擔任鄭甲的監護人的協議,該協議系雙方真實意思表示,不違反法律規定,合法有效,具有法律約束力。現申請人申請撤銷余某某的監護人資格,但未能充分舉證證明余某某擔任監護人后有不履行監護職責或者侵害被監護人合法權益的行為,故對于申請人的申請,本院難以支持。至于申請人提及的鄭甲的國籍問題,因與本案無涉,本院不作評價。對于申請人要求探望鄭甲的訴求,被申請人應當提供相應的便利,被申請人拒不配合的,申請人可以通過合法途徑解決。

  (2)案例討論

  在本案法律適用的問題上,裁判法院直接在裁判書中引用了弱者利益保護原則,在本案中鄭甲作為未成年人處于弱勢地位,出于對鄭甲利益保護最大化的考慮,法院選擇了內地法律進行判決。

  曲波的博士論文是其著作《國際私法本體下弱者利益的保護問題》的基礎,其中他對弱者利益保護中對于人權的追求作出了判斷。他在文章中認為,人權的觀念已對各個法律部門產生了深刻的影響。不同的法律部門用其特有的調整方法來調整著特定的調整對象…比如與生產者、經營者相比,由于信息不對等等原因,消費者處于弱者地位,而消費者為進行生活消費而完全和公平地獲得基本的消費品及服務的權利,實質上是以生存權為主的基本人權。所以為了實質公平與人權保護,保護弱者利益的精神貫穿了國際私法的立法過程。

  ●袁發強。 我國國際私法中弱者保護制度的反思與重構[J]. 法商研究,2014,(06)。

  與大部分觀點相反,作者認為在家庭婚姻關系中不存在弱者,現代文明國家的法律一般都強調人人平等原則,法律本身并不承認哪種人群在社會中享有特殊的法律地位和權利。現代法律并沒有賦予男人相對于女人、成年人相對于兒童和老人在家庭中以特別的權利和地位。法律關系中當事人的地位不平等需要通過加強人權保護的方法來實現。在這種不平等的法律關系中,無所謂強者與弱者,而是關乎是否公平、正義的問題。不能把因法律地位不平等而處于弱勢地位的整體性人群視為弱者。在國際私法的語境中,弱者具有不同于社會意義和一般法律意義上弱者的含義,是法律選擇或爭議解決方式及地點選擇方面的弱者,而不是民事實體權利義務關系上的弱者。由此,體現弱者保護的法律選擇方法或規則直接關注的并非法律選擇后果的利益最大化,而在于幫助弱者實現法律保護的權利,在立法或判例中表現為政策定向的法律選擇方法或規則。國際私法對弱者保護的目的在于避免所選擇的法律會降低對弱者權利的保護程度,而非追求弱者權利實現的最大化。

  ●賀連博。 國際私法中弱者權利保護方法[J]. 法學雜志,2008,(05)。

  國際私法用自己獨特的方式保護著涉外民商事交往中弱者群體的正當權益。這里所說的“弱者”主要包括涉外合同領域消費合同中的消費者、雇傭合同中的被雇傭者、技術轉讓合同中的技術受讓方;涉外侵權中的受害人,尤其是涉外產品責任的受害人,以及涉外婚姻家庭領域中需要確認是否有婚生地位的子女;被監護人、被收養人、被扶養人等。

  Under Alabama law, clause in employment agreement between chemical company and its salesman, which provided that Alabama law would apply “without regard to the conflict of laws provision thereof,” was unenforceable to extent that it was intended to override Alabama conflict-of-laws rules; conflict-of-laws rules addressed the fundamental public policy of the states interested in the dispute, and parties could not override state law on that question, since doing so essentially nullified the state law invoked to decide which state law must apply.

  法官認為該案涉及到了Alabama州的公共政策問題,對于本州法律中的強制性問題,必須選擇適用本州的法律。公共秩序原則對于弱者利益--在本案中表現為雇員利益--的保護起到的是安全閥的作用,即不得有低于該法規定標準的法律適用,保護了相對弱者在法律選擇上的基礎利益。

  ●Neely v. Club Med Management Services, Inc,  63 F.3d 166, July 26,1995, United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit

  The solution to the lack of guidance lies in approaching the Lauritzen analysis in a way that is faithful to its nature as a specialized form of interest analysis designed to ensure that American maritime law of personal injuries applies only where significant American interests are implicated and only in conformity with international law. Specifically, we interpret the notion of “substantial contacts” to embody these twin concerns in a two-step inquiry derived from international law. We conclude below that, in a Jones Act or general maritime law case, a court deciding whether American contacts are “substantial” (so that American law applies) must at the threshold ask whether one of the following factors is involved in the incident, in which case there is a basis for prescriptive jurisdiction (which, we explain infra subsection 1, means that significant American interests are implicated): injury to an American seaman or a seaman with American dependents, injury in American territory, American defendants, an American flagged ship, or a contractual choice of law clause specifying American law. If so, the second step in the substantial contacts inquiry is for the court to ascertain whether application of American law is reasonable under the circumstances, in which case (as subsection *183 2 describes) international law is satisfied.

  ●Nancy Ehrenreich, Foreword: Conceptualizing Substantive Justice,13 J. Gender Race & Just. Rev.13, 533,574 (2009-2010)。

  “Substantive justice” emphasizes the substantive rather than the formal understanding of legal rules and their management of civil relations; it defines the fairness of non-formality in redistribution; and recognizes their own contingency and normality. In short, the concept of substantive justice not only contains the critics of the liberal challenge, but also try to promote the positive changes in legal thinking. Postmodern legal critics (and some of the American legal realists before them) also reveal that legal reasoning is not entirely reasonable, neutral, and objective, but politically judged.

  ●Christa Roodt, The integration of substantive law interests and material justice in South African choice of law, 36 Comp&Int'l L.J.S.Afr. 1,24(2003)

  Justice plays an important part in setting boundaries for application of choice of law rules. One of the classic dilemmas of the conflict of laws lies on the terrain of the true implications of the meaning of justice in international cases. 'Conflicts justice' may be distinguished from 'substantive justice' for purposes of analysis, but it is also possible to regard the two concepts in competition with each other.

  ●Michael Kearney Lawfare, Legitimacy and resistance: The Weak and the law: 16 Pal. Y.B. Int'l L.79(2010)

  The Lawfare phenomenon is readily identifiable by reference to the identity of its alleged proponents. These are variously “Islamic orientated human rights organization[s] ,”4 al Qaeda,9 “NGO superpowers,”“ and a ”self-perpetuating inter- national legal establishment.“” A defining feature of Lawfare, and one which accentuates its 'war on terror' pedigree, is the interchangeable use of the terms 'enemy,' 'terrorist,' 'Islamic,' and 'Palestinian,' typically in a tone and substance both subjective and spurious.52 That is not to say that the recurring motifs found in such pieces are not worthy of intellectual attention, but there is an almost total failure to address and engage with the substantive issues of law and fact. These include the fluctuating meaning of sovereignty, what constitutes self-defense, defamation of religion, the use of international law by national courts, the development of customary international law, and indeed the purpose and nature of international law.

  第五部分 總結

  在通過國內外法律資料比對之后,我們可以發現無論是立法還是司法我國在弱者利益保護方面仍然與國際存在一定的差距。首先,我們應當在立法和司法中更加明確究竟何謂弱者。在當前的理論和實踐中大部分國家都將弱者的概念延伸到了侵權、特殊種類合同和家庭婚姻領域,但鑒于弱者概念的這種相對性,如何更好更公正地確定弱者的概念以真正地在實踐中保護需要保護的一方。第二,我國立法在弱者利益保護方面的發展趨向,如何在具體制度的設計甚至弱者利益保護作為一項原則在涉外民事法律關系法律適用法方面做出規定。
