自然人屬人法與經常居所的中國式選擇、判准和適用－－兼評《涉外民事關係法律適用法司法解釋（一）》第15條

Personal Law of Natural Persons and Habitual Residence: Choice, Determination and Application in China

《涉外民事關係法律適用法》待自然人屬人法主要定位於經常居所地法，局部兼顧本國法，但缺乏對經常居所連結點的界定。自然人經常居所的判定准據涉及連結點的解釋和法律適用，主要有等同方法、客觀方法、目的方法和綜和方法四種判定方法。《涉外民事關係法律適用法司法解釋（一）》第15條的規定體現中國式選擇，即自然人經常居所的判定准據從法院地法到沖突法，自然人經常居所的判定方法從單一標准到疊加標準。

The 2010 Law on Application of Laws concerning Foreign-related Civil Relations mainly formulates, for the first time, personal law of natural persons as the law of natural persons' habitual residence. But it lacks the definition of the habitual residence. To determine this concept is related to interpretation of connecting points and application of law. There are basically four kinds of determination methods, namely, equal method, objective method, purpose method and synthetic method. Article 15 of the Judicial Interpretation on Law on Application of Laws concerning Foreign-related Civil Relations is characterized as Chinese choice, that is, applicable law to determine habitual residence is from the lex fori to the conflict of laws, and the method of determination for the habitual residence is from a single standard to double one. In the practice of foreign-related civil and commercial adjudication and application of law, the habitual residence should be understood in the private international law context, and determined by double criteria. At the same time, it needs to solve the conflicts of the habitual residence and its inter-temporal conflicts and to carefully consider the exception of the habitual residence and public policy.
