With the deepening of China's reform and opening up, cases where Chinese domestic disputes without foreign- related elements submitting for arbitration outside Mainland China have been emerging. On the theoretical side, the mainstream academic viewpoint in the field, i.e., the identification test on basis of three essentials of the civil legal relationship, has drawbacks of over-simplicity and rigidity. On the regulatory side, acatch-all clause(back-up provision) is recently added, indicating that the legislators have foreseen atypical types of foreign- related cases. China's current regulatory framework does not explicitly prohibit disputes without foreign-relatede lements from arbitrating outside Mainland China. However, past judicial interpretations and policies tend to negate the validity of such arbitration agreements. After a systematic study of recent judicial cases where arbitration agreements without foreign-related elements provided for arbitration outside Mainland China, the paper reveals the past-decade jurisprudential development in China and its critical change these years. |
