英文摘要 |
In recent years, due to the widespread use of dematerialized securities and central depository system, many issues worthy of discussion have arisen relating to the cross-border transactions of securities, no matter from the perspective of substantive laws or conflict of laws. With respect to the conflict of laws in resolving the issue of the law governing rights in cross-border transactions of securities, Taiwan referred to the ’’the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities held with an Intermediary’’ (hereinafter referred to as ’’Hague Securities Convention’’) when amending the Act Governing the Choice of Law in Civil Matters Involving Foreign Elements in 2010. In the amendments, Article 44 was added, providing relevant provisions with regard to the law governing the acquisition, loss, disposal or change of rights in securities. The aim of this article is to analyze the appropriateness of Article 44 of the Act Governing the Choice of Law in Civil Matters Involving Foreign Elements through reviewing judgements and studies in Japan regarding the Hague Securities Convention. Further, this article will demonstrate, through the result of the analysis, that it is necessary to make a comprehensive review on the applicable law of property rights under the modern financial system.
