我國法制下外國人民事法律地位問題之研究－兼論大陸及港澳地區人民之法律地位

在傳統的大陸法系國際私法研究中，外國人的民事法律地位一直是作為在衝突法則以外獨立被研究的問題。目前世界各國基本上對於外國人的民事法律地位問題，大多採取例外限制主義，而我國民事法制對於外國人之民事法律地位的態度，則係依據不同的外國人類型，分別採取不同的差別待遇立場。本文主要在於探討我國民事法制下的外國人分類與權利能力限制之現狀。希望藉此喚起我國學界及實務界反思，在我國現行法制下，法院對於外國人之民事法律地位所應採取之立場。

The status of foreigner is always an independent subject in traditional private international law study, especially in Civil law system countries. Most of countries nowadays take non-discriminatory or national treatment as a basic principle in this area. However, Taiwan legal system classified different types of foreigners which provide different treatment on most cases. Briefly speaking, national treatment is not a basic principle in the case of status of foreigners under the legal system of Taiwan. This paper intends to classify the categories of foreigners, discussing the limitation of capacity of foreigners under the legal system of Taiwan, and hoping therefore to help the courts and the lawyers to reconsider the basic position on the issue of status of foreigner.
