    外文文献原文 Evasion of Law and Mandatory Rules in Private International Law JJ FAWCETT Cambridge Law Journal 1990 49(1)4462 Source Cambridge Journalshttpjournalscambridgeorg INTRODUCTION IT has often been asserted that English private international law has no doctrine of evasion of the law It is true that English law has never developed a general doctrine like the French one of fraude a la hi to deal with cases of evasion Nonetheless evasion of the law has been recognised as a problem in at least some areas of private international law and an increasing number of specific antievasion measures have been introduced in response to this The English approach towards evasion is a pragmatic one rather than being based on any broad underlying theory In particular the fundamental questions have not been addressed of what is wrong with evasion of the law and how it can be dealt with most effectively The purpose of this article is to examine the present law on evasion determine what is wrong with evasion of the law and put forward proposals for a principled approach to deal with the problem I THE PRESENT LAW ON EVASION The most obvious sense in which the law is evaded is when persons deliberately flout the law for example a taxpayer fails to declare all his income to the Inland Revenue or a person smuggles goods into a country in breach of import controls In such cases the party seeking to evade the law wishes no law to apply The private international lawyer may be concerned with this type of case for instance the English courts may be asked to enforce a contract the performance of which involves the illegal export of goodsOf more interest to the private international lawyer and the subject of this article are those cases where laws are evaded by persons showing a preference for the application of one country's law rather than that of another People can show this preference by going to another country in the expectation that that country's law will be applied to their affairs This has happened in the sphere of family law where evasive marriages divorces and abduction of children are well known Evasion can also take place in the commercial sphere where the particular method of evasion takes a different form ie contractual agreements that a particular law will apply Those areas in which evasion has been recognised as being a problem marriage divorce child abduction and custody and contract will now be examined in detail after which some conclusions will be drawn on the nature of the approach towards evasion adopted under the present law A Evasive Marriages Evasive marriages have been a well known phenomenon since the earliest days of conflict of laws Starting with Brook v Brook in the middle of the nineteenth century there has been a spate of reported cases involving English couples going to Denmark or Germany to marry in order to evade the English law on the prohibited degrees of marriage After the marriage the couple would return to live in England The English courts strongly objected to the attempt to evade English law in these cases and refused to recognise the foreign marriage The technique for dealing with the evasion was to classify the issue in the case as being one of essential validity and to apply the law of the domicile of the parties England to the question of the validity of the foreign marriage In other words the courts moulded their private international rule on capacity to enter a marriage to stop evasion of the law The gradual relaxation in the prohibited degrees under English law has largely meant the end of such instances of evasion However it still remains the case that for example an uncle will be unable to marry his niece in England but he may be able to do so under some foreign systems of law Better known to laymen than the Danish marriages cases are the Gretna Green marriage casesAt one time young English couples would elope to Scotland in order to evade the English requirement of parental consent for the marriage of a child between the ages of 16 and 21 Such a child could marry in Scotland without parental consent there being very much less formality for marriage under Scots law The reduction of the age of majority to 18 in England has meant that in most cases there is no longer any need for young couples to go to Scotland to enter into a valid marriage However the attitude of the English courts towards Gretna Green marriages is instructive and contrasts strongly with their attitude towards the Danish marriages No objection was made to the parties evading the English requirement of parental consent by going to marry in Scotland and these Scots marriages were recognised as being valid The issue was classified as one of formal validity and the law of the place of celebration was applied to the marriage ie Scots law The private international law rule was not moulded to stop evasion The traffic in evasive marriage was not all one way There are well known instances of French couples coming to England in order to evade stringent French requirements of parental consent to the marriage of children up to the age of 25 Not surprisingly in the light of the Gretna Green marriages these English marriages were regarded as being valid despite the clear evasion of French law by the parties B Evasive Divorces In 1868 in Shaw v Gould Lord Westbury speaking in the context of a Scots divorce obtained by an English domiciliary said that No nation can be required to admit that its domiciled subjects may lawfully resort to another country for the purpose of evading the laws under which they live When they return to the country of their domicile bringing back with them a foreign judgment so obtained the tribunals of the domicile are entitled or even bound to reject such judgment as having no extraterritorial force or validity A hundred years later there was considerable judicial concern that whilst the rules on recognition of foreign divorces should be liberalised and made more flexible quickie divorces obtained abroad after a short period of residence should not be recognised The technique for achieving this was to introduce at common law a real and substantial connection test as a basis for the recognition of foreign divorces A petitioner who was merely temporarily in for example Nevada when he obtained his divorce would not be able to satisfy this test and the foreign divorce would not be recognised The attitude subsequently changed and the Recognition of Divorces and Legal Separations Act 1971 enshrined the Law Commission's philosophy that if there had been forum shopping the harm had already been done and in order to prevent a limping marriage the foreign divorce should still be recognised in England This still remains the general view to this day However there are two specific statutory antievasion provisions which constitute exceptions to this general rule Both provisions are concerned with extrajudicial divorces There was a concern shown by the judiciary and then by Parliament that parties should not be able to evade the English system of divorces granted by courts and the English law on financial provision on divorce by obtaining in England an extrajudicial divorce Since 1974 such extrajudicial divorces have therefore been denied recognition There was then a concern that the particular statutory provision denying recognition to this type of divorce could itself be evaded by English residents going abroad for example on a day trip to France to obtain an extrajudicial divorce which because it would be recognised in their foreign domicile would be recognised in England The latest version of the relevant statutory antievasion provision seeks to prevent this by denying recognition to extrajudicial divorces obtained without proceedings outside the British Islands if either spouse had for a period of one year immediately preceding the institution of the proceedings habitually been resident in the United Kingdom The latter provision does nothing to prevent an English domiciliary from evading his financial responsibilities to his spouse by obtaining an extrajudicial divorce in the state of his nationality and then having this recognised in England However the Court of Appeal in Chaudhary v Chaudhary held that in such circumstances recognition of the divorce would be contrary to public policy thereby preventing the evasion C Child Abduction and Custody The most recent problem of evasion to arise in the family law area involves cases of child abduction and custody If the parents of a child are in dispute over the custody of a child and the parent who has not been granted custody by the English courts seizes the child and removes it abroad there is a deliberate flouting of the English law in that the English custody order has been disregarded This is regarded as a very serious matter and Parliament has intervened to introduce new criminal offences concerned with taking a child under the age of 16 out of the jurisdiction without consent There may also be an element of the errant parent preferring the application of a foreign law in that this parent may seek and obtain a custody order abroad The problem is essentially one of getting a foreign court to recognise the English custody order or the custody rights (if no order has been made) and return the child to England There are now international conventions on child abduction and custody and if the child is removed to a country which is a party to these conventions that country may be obliged to recognise the English custody order and rights As far as the United Kingdom is concerned the international conventions were brought into effect by the Child Abduction and Custody Act 1985 which requires English courts to recognise foreign custody orders and rights in certain circumstances D Evasive Contracts In contract cases the judiciary appear on the face of it to have a strong objection to evasion of the law In theory the requirement laid down in Vita Food Products v Unus Shipping that the parties' choice of the applicable law must be made in good faith will stop all cases of evasion of the law Even if the case involves an issue of formal validity of the contract the bona fides doctrine can still come into play This contrasts with marriage cases where as has been seen the evasion of formal requirements is not objected to However in practice the requirement of a bona fide choice does not appear to restrict the parties' freedom to choose the applicable law There is no reported English case in which the parties' choice has been struck out on this ground It is important to notice that although the Vita Foods Case introduced a restriction on party autonomy this restriction did not apply on the facts of the case and the result was to allow parties to evade the Hague Rules Much more important than the common law doctrine of bona fides are the specific statutory antievasion provisions that have been introduced into the area of contract The most famous of these is contained in section 27 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 This section prevents evasion of English law or the law of any other part of the United Kingdom by restricting the parties' freedom to choose a foreign law It provides that the Act and the protection it gives to consumers still has effect if the choice of law appears to have been imposed wholly or mainly for the purpose of enabling the party imposing it to evade the operation of this Act The section goes on to provide as an alternative that the Act will apply despite the parties' choice if in the making of the contract one of the parties dealt as consumer and he was then habitually resident in the United Kingdom and the essential steps necessary for the making of the contract were taken there whether by him or by others on his behalf The section more controversially also prevents parties from evading foreign law It restricts the right of parties whose contract has a foreign objective proper law to choose the law of part of the United Kingdom by providing that in such a case certain sections of the Act will not apply as part of the proper law Another example of a statutory antievasion provision is to be found in the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1971 implementing the HagueVisby Rules Under the old Hague Rules there was a problem of people evading those Rules by the insertion of a choice of law clause in their contract This gap was closed by the insertion in the HagueVisby Rules of a new Article X to replace the original Article X in the Hague Rules This lays down the territorial scope of the new Rules and is coupled with a provision in the implementing legislation which states that the Rules as set out in the Schedule to the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1971 shall have the force of law According to the House of Lords in The Hollandia the intention of Parliament was for the new Rules to apply whenever the case comes within Article X regardless of whether there is a foreign proper law Their Lordships were concerned to interpret the Act and the HagueVisby Rules in such a way as to prevent the possibility of their being evaded As Lord Diplock said [the HagueVisby Rules] should be given a purposive rather than a narrow literalistic construction particularly wherever the adoption of a literalist construction would enable the stated purpose of the international convention viz the unification of domestic laws of the contracting states relating to bills of lading to be evaded by the use of colourable devices that not being expressly referred to in the rules are not specifically prohibited An Ad Hoc Approach What is noticeable about the present law on evasion is that no general principle has been developed to explain why evasion is regarded as objectionable in some cases but not in others The law seems quite inconsistent with evasive Gretna Green marriages being regarded as perfectly acceptable but evasive Danish marriages being regarded as beyond the pale The whole approach towards evasion is essentially an ad hoc one not only are different types of evasive marriage treated differently but also evasive marriages are treated in isolation from evasive divorces or evasive contracts This ad hoc approach extends to the technique for dealing with those cases where evasion is regarded as objectionable In some cases specific statutory antievasion provisions have been adopted to deal with evasion in other cases the technique has been to mould common law rules to deal with the problem The result is that the present law on evasion can be seen to be unduly complex uncertain and inconsistent A more principled approach is needed but before this can be developed an answer is required to the fundamental question which so far has been ignored under English law what is wrong with evasion of the law II WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVASION OF THE LAW A Moral Guilt The term evasion is a loaded one with connotations of shifty underhand behaviour It is easy to fall into the trap of automatically assuming that a desire to evade the law is in itself morally reprehensible This is what has happened in the area of contract choice of law The requirement that the choice of the applicable law must be made in good faith concentrates on the motives of the parties and if these are impure the choice is necessarily regarded as a bad one and to be struck out Yet there is nothing wrong in principle with parties choosing the law to govern their transactions Indeed it is very desirable that they should make such a choice Party autonomy produces certainty in the law and upholds the expectations of the parties In some cases this choice may be made on the basis that the application of one law is more convenient than that of another In other cases the choice may be made on the basis that the content of one law is preferred by the parties to that of another For example the parties to an international insurance or shipping contract may choose the law of England to apply despite the fact that there is no connection with this country because they regard English law as being well developed in this area No one would stigmatise this type of conduct Is it any worse if the parties choose a law to apply because they prefer some specific provisions of that law to that of some other country What the parties are usually trying to do in such a case is to ensure that a law is applied which provides that their transaction whether it is a commercial contract or a marriage is valid This should not be a cause for concern nor should it be condemned on the mistaken basis that the parties' motives are impure Moreover there is something slightly hypocritical in the judiciary making this type of moral judgment when they themselves are quite prepared to escape from applying a law the content of which is not to their liking by using such devices as public policy and renvoi Whilst there is nothing wrong with the parties' motives in cases of evasion this does not mean that the practice is unobjectionable In some cases the evasion may involve unfairness to someone else the evasion may even be against the national interest 外文文献译稿 国际私法中法律规避强制性规 JJ福西特 剑桥法律期刊199049(1):4462. 源:剑桥期刊网httpjournalscambridgeorg 引言 常常说英国国际私法学说中没法律规避原事实确英国法律中关法律规避原没发展成般理法国中fraude à la
