Abstract: | The choice of court agreement (forum selection clause) is effectively concluded
if there is no doubt that the party has actually become acquainted with its content. The
Court of Justice of the European Union focuses on those aspects of the conclusion of the
contract that allow the assessment that the other party is not surprised by the establishment
of a subjective link. The compliance with formal requirements implies that the parties
agreed on the conclusion of the contract. There are no objections about so understood
“real consent of the parties” as a consequence of fulfilling not only the requirements as
to the form, but above all as the way of the conclusion of the contract. The acceptance of
the thesis that since the party expressed the undoubted consent to conclude the contract,
there is thus no problem of the interpretation of the declaration of intent, is impossible.
There is no dispute that the interpretation of a declaration of intent is a legal matter,
since the methods of interpretation are determined by the law. According to the Polish
Supreme Court, on the basis of Regulation 1215/2012 there is no problem of seeking of
the applicable law, because the rules for the interpretation of a jurisdictional agreement
should be interpreted from the provision of art. 25 of this regulation. This position is
based on the main argument that any deviation from the autonomous rules of interpretation
creates the danger that the courts of the Member States will differently determine
the law applicable. The Court of Justice of the European Union accepts that an objective (normative) method of interpreting party’s statements should be used. In some situations,
it is necessary to apply legis causae to effectuate a supplementary interpretation
of the declarations of will. |
