摘要
仲裁条款对提单受让人的法律效力问题一直备受争议,长期以来都未有定论。提单转让的单方性,阻碍了提单仲裁条款根据传统的当事人意思自治原则取得法律效力。随着现代仲裁法学的不断发展,新的仲裁协议效力扩张理论为该问题的解决,提供了新的法理基础。根据该理论,提单受让人同意仲裁的,仲裁条款对其产生法律效力;提单受让人不同意仲裁的,仲裁条款对其不产生法律效力;而承运人却始终受到仲裁条款的约束,无权拒绝仲裁。
It is not a settled issue of the legal effect of the arbitration clause on the transferee of Bill of Lading (B/L), which is under hot debate for quite a long time. The unilateral transfer of B/L fails to affect the arbitration clause on the basis of the principle of autonomy of will. However, thanks to the development of the modem arbitration jurisprudence, the expansion theory on the effect of the arbitration agreement can now create a new legal basis for that issue. With regard to that theory, where the transferee accepted the arbitration clause, the clause thereof is effective; while the transferee rejected the arbitration clause, the clause could not bind him; whichever the case may be, the carrier should obey the arbitration clause and he may not have the right to decline the effect of that clause.
