如何确定运输合同纠纷法院管辖How to determine the jurisdiction of the court over transportation contract disputes
依我国《民事诉讼法》第28条规定,“因铁路、公路、水上、航空运输和联合运输合同纠纷提起的诉讼,由运输始发地、目的地或者被告住所地人民法院管辖。”上述3个地方各人民法院对这类运输合同纠纷都有管辖权,当事人到任何一个法院起诉都可以。有管辖权的人民法院不得无故推托,应当依法受理。对两个以上有管辖权的人民法院,当事人只能选择其中一个法院起诉,由最先受理的人民法院审理。
According to Article 28 of China's Civil Procedure Law, "Lawsuits arising from disputes over railway, highway, water, air, and combined transportation contracts shall be under the jurisdiction of the people's courts of the place of origin, destination, or defendant's domicile." The people's courts of each of the above three places have jurisdiction over such transportation contract disputes, and the parties may bring a lawsuit in any court. The people's court with jurisdiction shall not unreasonably withhold and shall accept it in accordance with the law. For two or more people's courts with jurisdiction, the parties can only choose one court to file a lawsuit, and the court that first accepts the case shall hear it.
