국제무역계약상 분쟁에 대비한 무역실무자의 대응 = International Traders' Measures against Contract Disputes in International Transactions - Focusing on the Matter of Governing Law

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The "rules of private international law" or "conflict of law rules" work
to determine the governing law, the law applicable to international
contracts. These rules permit parties' autonomy to choose the law
applicable to their contracts in cases of both litigations and arbitrations. In
this regards, the present article examines parties' five options for the
choice of the law governing their contracts, which the parties should
consider when negotiating and drafting an international agreement. This
means that parties in international contracting should check the contents
of the law that they are to choose as the governing law before doing so.
The first option is to submit the contract to its own law, which can be
the safest and simplest solution generally. However this option is subject
to the consent of the other party, and is not appropriate when the
domestic law chosen contains mandatory rules strongly protecting the
other party.
Secondly, the option of choosing the other party's law is not preferable
in general. Even though the other party is strong enough to succeed in
insisting on applying its own law, the other party is advised to
counter-offer a neutral solution by suggesting the application of a
transnational set of rules and principles of international contract, such as
Unidroit Principles.
The third option to choose the law of a third country should be taken
with the caution that it should be harmonized with either, in case of
litigations, the international jurisdiction clause which makes the country
chosen have the jurisdiction over the dispute arising under the contract,
or, in case of arbitrations, the way of selection of the arbitrator who has
good knowledge of the law chosen.
The fourth option of submitting the contract to the lex mercatoria or
the general principles of law including the Unidroit Principles can be a
advisable solution when a dispute is designed to be submitted to
experienced arbitrators.
The final and fifth is to be silent on the choice of the governing law in
contracting. This option can be usefully available by experienced
negotiators who are well familiar with the conflict of laws rules and
enables the parties to avoid the difficulties to agree on the governing law
issue and leave it open until a dispute arises
