快讯:位处亚洲的企业于英属维尔京群岛进行仲裁
简介
英属维尔京群岛 (BVI)是一个日渐受欢迎的仲裁地点,拥有现代化并支持仲裁的法律制度、现代化的仲裁设施,以及一所世界级的仲裁中心 - BVI国际仲裁中心。除了可以随时接触到熟识BVI法律的专才,亦有备受尊重的BVI法院的监督,因此仲裁各方可安心在一個稳定的司法管辖区寻求爭議解决。
在过去多年,亚洲的企业、投资者和高净值人士一直是BVI法院和BVI律师最频繁的用户。因此,BVI国际仲裁中心的用户可放心,他们所委托的是一个精通亚洲市场独特属性的现代仲裁机构,以及一个由法官组成并经常处理亚洲相关纠纷的监督法院。
现代仲裁法
BVI国际仲裁中心亦负责执行其仲裁规则。这些规则以《贸易法委员会国际商事仲裁示范法》为基础,反映了国际仲裁的标准。仲裁各方可以自由地将BVI国际仲裁中心的规则纳入他们的仲裁协议,但如果他们愿意,也可以选择采用其他机构的规则来管理BVI的仲裁。当事人亦可以采用BVI国际仲裁中心规则作为其合同的一部分,而仲裁则由其他机构管理,例如香港国际仲裁中心或新加坡仲裁中心。BVI国际仲裁中心的仲裁规则第18条第(2)款允许仲裁庭在其认为适当的地点开会和审议,这意味着如果BVI以外的地点和时区对仲裁各方更便利,会议和聆讯可以在BVI以外的地点举行,亚洲用户的情况大部份都是这样。
于BVI进行的仲裁受2013年的《仲裁法》管辖。 除了于法例所述的修订,《仲裁法》采纳《贸易法委员会国际商事仲裁示范法》的条文。BVI的仲裁法律框架使其成为一个有吸引力的仲裁地点,主要内容包括:
6. BVI仲裁裁决是最终决议,除非双方另有协议,否则不可上诉。当事人可以选择加入某些条款,允许BVI的商事法院对仲裁的程序行使额外的监督管辖权。其中包括向法院提出申请的能力:
a. 申请合并仲裁的命令
b. 就仲裁中出现的任何法律问题作出裁决,因为这样做可能会为双方当事人节省大量费用。
c. 以严重违规为由对裁决提出质疑
d. 就裁决引起的法律问题提出上诉
BVI法院采取高效支持仲裁的方針,并承认尊重各方选择将爭議提交仲裁的重要性,以促进BVI成为国际仲裁中心。
BVI作为仲裁地
VI国际仲裁中心亦负责执行其仲裁规则。这些规则以《贸易法委员会国际商事仲裁示范法》为基础,反映了国际仲裁的标准。仲裁各方可以自由地将BVI国际仲裁中心的规则纳入他们的仲裁协议,但如果他们愿意,也可以选择采用其他机构的规则来管理BVI的仲裁。当事人亦可以采用BVI国际仲裁中心规则作为其合同的一部分,而仲裁则由其他机构管理,例如香港国际仲裁中心或新加坡仲裁中心。BVI国际仲裁中心的仲裁规则第18条第(2)款允许仲裁庭在其认为适当的地点开会和审议,这意味着如果BVI以外的地点和时区对仲裁各方更便利,会议和聆讯可以在BVI以外的地点举行,亚洲用户的情况大部份都是这样。
与许多其他仲裁规则不同,BVI国际仲裁中心的规则第17(6) 条规定了一项違約推定,即除非当事人另有约定,否则所有与仲裁有关的事项都应保密。保密义务的范围包括还由第三方制作不在公众领域的文件,这表明BVI国际仲裁中心的规则对维护保密原则的程度。
目前由于冠状病毒大流行而中断了国际出行,仲裁庭(跟BVI法院非常相似)可根据第28条第(4)款允许证人通过视频会议或其他通信设备出席聆讯,这提供了一个有用的工具以确保BVI的仲裁在最小干扰的情况下继续进行。
此外,BVI国际仲裁中心设有一个由来自世界各地190多名主要仲裁员组成的仲裁委员会,让各方可以委任具有最适当专业知识(包括语文能力和地理位置)的仲裁员。该委员会目前包括18名驻亚太地区的仲裁员,这使得亚洲仲裁用户可以选择一名距离各方较近、对亚洲市场有深入了解的仲裁员。
BVI国际仲裁中心的规则附件A包含BVI国际仲裁中心的条款范本,适用于希望在合同中加入BVI仲裁的各方。条款的范本如下:
“因本合同引起或与本合同有关的任何争议、争议或索赔,或有关违约、合同终止或无效的事项,应根据BVI国际仲裁中心的仲裁规则通过仲裁解决。”
“仲裁员人数为……[一人或三人];
仲裁地点应为……[ BVI托尔托拉市路镇,除非双方另有约定];
仲裁程序使用的语言应为……[语言]。”
如果您有任何与BVI仲裁相关的问题,请联系你在Ogier的惯常聯絡人。我们很乐意帮忙。
