涉外建筑工程分包合同的法律适用

（Applicable Law Governing Subcontract for Foreign Construction Engineering Project）

案例：中国某海外工程公司承包了波兰的某大型建筑项目, 承包商与分包商均为中国的建筑商，它们之间签订了该工程的分包合同，该工程在波兰如期开始施工，但该项目仅进行了一年多时间,因各种原因波兰方面就提出解除合同，并索取巨额的赔偿。由于该纠纷涉及到承包商与分包商之间的违约问题，在诉讼中承包商与分包商的一方认为应适用不动产所在地波兰法律，另一方认为由于双方均为中国建筑商，理应适用中国法律，这就产生了涉外建筑工程分包合同的多国法律冲突与适用问题。

Case: Aconstruction engineering company of China (the “Contractor”), hascontracted a large-scale construction project in Poland and subcontractedthe project to a Subcontractor, which is also a Chinese builder, byentering into a subcontract thereof. Constructionof the project commenced as scheduled and proceeded for only over one year before the Poland party proposed termination of the subcontract forvarious reasons and claimed for a large sum of compensation. The claim involvesa dispute over breach of contract between the Contractor and the Subcontractor.In the litigation process, one party thereto claimed that the lawsof Poland shall govern by reason that the real estate of theproject is located in Poland; while the other party thereto claimed that thelaws of China shall govern by reason that both parties to the subcontract areChinese builders. This gives rise to a matter on conflict of laws of variouscountries and the governing laws in respect of a subcontract of foreignconstruction engineering project.
