Jurisdiction clauses commonly feature in high-value international contracts. Recently, these clauses are also increasingly utilised in international trust instruments. At common law, a contentious issue vis-à-vis exclusive jurisdiction clauses in trust deeds has been whether they should be upheld in the same way as their contractual equivalents. In obiter remarks in Crociani v Crociani, in 2014, the Privy Council stated that these clauses should be afforded less weight in trusts than in contracts. However, as this paper seeks to demonstrate, the reasoning underpinning the treatment of exclusive jurisdiction clauses in trust deeds in this manner is questionable. The paper's key contention is that exclusive jurisdiction clauses in trust deeds should be enforced in the same way as those in contracts. Accordingly, an exclusive jurisdiction clause in a trust instrument should be upheld, unless the claimant can establish a strong cause why the matter should be litigated elsewhere.

国际信托契约中的专属管辖权条款

管辖权条款通常出现在高价值的国际合同中。最近,这些条款也越来越多地用于国际信托文书中。在普通法中,与信托契约中的专属管辖权条款有关的一个有争议的问题是,它们是否应该以与合同等价物相同的方式得到维护。在附注中的备注克罗恰尼 v 克罗恰尼2014 年,枢密院表示,这些条款在信托中的重要性应低于在合同中的重要性。然而,正如本文试图证明的那样,以这种方式处理信托契约中的专属管辖权条款的推理是有问题的。该论文的主要论点是,信托契约中的专属管辖权条款应以与合同中相同的方式执行。因此,应支持信托文书中的专属管辖权条款,除非索赔人能够证明该事项应在其他地方提起诉讼的充分理由。
