【摘要】 美国国际民事诉讼中的"商业活动管辖权"具有鲜明的美国特色,是专门针对外国法人行使国际民事管辖权的制度,体现了普通法系和大陆法系管辖权制度的差异,它包括持续商业活动管辖权和特定商业活动管辖权。前者以被告在法院地持续系统的商业活动作为管辖依据,行使管辖权的法院可以审理对被告提起的任何诉讼;后者以被告在法院具有"最低联系"的商业活动作为管辖依据,管辖法院只限于审理因被告在法院地的商业活动所引起的争议。在美国国际民事管辖权的实践中,两者呈现了此消彼长的发展趋势。两类管辖权制度的缺陷是其适用的不确定性,但同时也具有适应商业现实、注重个案公正的优点,对于我国国际民事管辖权制度的发展具有启发意义。更多还原

【Abstract】 Doing business jurisdiction is the jurisdictional institution of American characteristics asserted against foreign legal persons in international civil litigation in U. S. embodying the differences between common-law and civil-law systems with respect to international jurisdiction. It includes doing business jurisdiction and transacting business jurisdiction. The former is based on the continuous and systemic activities conducted by the corporation defendants within the forum State and can be asserted with respect to any and all cause of actions brought against the defendants,the latter on the lesser activities conducted by the corporations defendants within the forum State which suffice to constitute minimum contacts with the forum,and only with respect to the cause of actions arising out of or related to the defendants’ those activities. The defect of this jurisdictional institution is its uncertainty,and its advantages,namely the adaptability to the commerce reality and emphasis on case-by-case justice can serve as an inspiration for the improvements of China’s international civil jurisdiction.更多还原
