2023年,全国各级人民法院加强涉外司法审判工作,实施审判精品战略,善意履行国际条约义务,积极打造国际民商事纠纷解决优选基地,服务共建“一带一路”高质量发展。在管辖权方面,适用不方便法院原则必须满足法律所规定的条件;在适用不对称管辖条款时,须经表述清晰、明确、严格的认定。在涉外侵害发明专利权纠纷案件中,侵权行为地的认定具有典型意义。司法文书的涉外送达应当符合法律规定,否则自行承担相应后果。在法律适用方面,法院注重采用分割方法,准确查明和分别适用不同的准据法,并能全面、精确地适用国际条约。在外国法院判决的承认与执行方面,对违反社会公共利益情形的从严认定,已经有依照《取消外国公文书认证要求的公约》的司法实践。对于仲裁协议,认可表见代理下所签署的仲裁协议的效力,并根据仲裁协议独立性原则,明确仲裁条款的效力。对于仲裁裁决的承认与执行,区分仲裁裁决的具体事项,依照《纽约公约》规定审查是否存在拒绝承认和执行的情形。同时,裁判文书中定性不当、说理不周延的问题依然存在。接下来,我国法院应进一步提高熟练运用国际私法、确定准据法的司法能力。
