论"意思自治"原则下选择法律的时间自由

“意思自治”原则已经成为各国涉外合同适用法律的首要原则 ,但各国对合同当事人选择法律的时间规定并不完全一样。我国法律对当事人选择法律的时间有一定的限制 ,但法律实践中的作法往往脱离这一限制。应该赋予当事人选择法律的时间自由 ,这既有利于纠纷的解决 ,也更符合“意思自治”原则的本意。

On the Freedom of the Time for the Choice of Law Under the Principle of "Meaning Autonomy"

The principle of "meaning autonomy" has been the primary law principle in dealing with foreign contracts, but different countries have had different regulations for the time when the client chooses the law. The Chinese law restricts the time when the law can be chosen, yet in legal practices such limitations are often surpassed. The autonomy of choosing the time for the choice of law should be given to the client. This not only helps to solve disputes but also confirms to the basic meaning of the principle of "meaning autonomy".
