允许当事人协议选择法律作为涉外经济合同法律适用的首要原则,并不意味着对该原则的使用没有任何的限制。事实上,意思自治原则在克服传统的法律选择规范的弊端、为涉外经济合同的法律适用带来公平和合理预期效果的同时,并未完全摆脱自身的局限性。 Allowing the parties to agree on the choice of law as the primary principle applicable to the law of a foreign-related economic contract does not imply that there is no restriction on the use of the principle. In fact, the principle of autonomy of means does not completely get rid of its own limitations while overcoming the shortcomings of the traditional norms of legal choice and bringing fair and reasonable expected results to the legal application of foreign economic contracts.
