当前,国内有关PPP协议[1]的争议解决机制,众说纷纭。有观点认为,特许经营协议为行政协议,属于行政法院受案范围而不可由当事人约定,且《仲裁法》第二条将“依法由行政机关处理的行政争议”排除在仲裁范围外,因此特许经营协议中不能约定仲裁条款,不可约定通过民事诉讼解决,只能提交行政诉讼解决。也有观点认为PPP协议更多体现民商事性质,应允许当事人约定仲裁和民事诉讼等争议解决机制。同时,基于最高法院在有些案例中将特许经营协议认定为民商事协议、而在另外案例中认定为行政协议,不乏观点认为应区分PPP协议或争议性质判断纳入民事诉讼还是行政诉讼。但目前国内立法和司法实践中,并未确立区分PPP争议性质的清晰标准。 Continue Reading 他山之石: “一带一路”国家 PPP协议争议解决机制经验借鉴
