摘　　要：《第二次冲突法重述》虽然没有直接就责任限制的法律适用做出规定,但它所采纳的最密切联系原则或多或少地影响了美国法院在审理责任限制之诉时对选择适用法律的态度。尽管在美国司法实践中,责任限制之诉适用法院地法是惯常的做法,但与原先直接适用法院地法不同的是,现在美国法院普遍承认,外国的责任限制法也应该纳入考虑的范围之内,只不过大部分情况下,适用法院地法是最合适的。Although the Second Restatement of Conflict of Laws did not directly focus on the applicable laws of limitation of maritime liability, but the doctrine of the most significant relationship adopted by the Second Restatement impacted the attitude of U. S. courts when they chose the applicable laws for the limitation of maritime liability. Different from the original method which is directly use the law of the forum, the courts of the United States widely acknowledged that the foreign laws of limitation of maritime liability should also be taken into account at present, although in most cases, the law of the forum is deemed to the most suitable laws.
