я насколько помню, ст 1210 "заимствована" из Римской конвенции 1980 г. Так вот в коментарии Guliano-Lagard"a говориться интересная вещь - что группа разработчиков Конвенции исходила из возможности выбора иностранного права в отсутствии иностранного элемента. Видимо корифеи исходили из этого.
Оригинал
Article 3 (3) provides that the choice of a foreign law by the parties, whether or not accompanied by the choice of a foreign tribunal, shall not, where all other elements relevant to the situation at the time of the choice are connected with one country only, prejudice the application of the law of that country which cannot be derogated from by contract, hereinafter called "mandatory rules".
This solution is the result of a compromise between two lines of argument which have been diligently pursued within the Group : the wish on the one hand of certain experts to limit the parties' freedom of choice embodied in this Article by means of a correcting factor specifying that the choice of a foreign law would be insufficient per se to permit the application of that law if the situation at the moment of choice did not involve another foreign element, and on the other the concern of other experts, notably the United Kingdom experts, that such a correcting factor would be too great an obstacle to the freedom of the parties in situations in which their choice appeared justified, made in good faith, and capable of serving interests worthy of protection. In particular these experts emphasized that departures from the principle of the parties' freedom of choice should be authorized only in exceptional circumstances, such as the application of the mandatory rules of a law other than that chosen by the parties ; they also gave several examples of cases in which the choice of a foreign law by the parties was fully justified, although there was apparently no other foreign element in the situation.
The Group recognized that this concern was well founded, while maintaining the principle that the choice by the parties of a foreign law where all the other elements relevant to the situation at the time of the choice are connected with one country only shall not prejudice the application of the mandatory rules of the law of that country.
P/S Договоры с выбором иностранного права при отсутствии иностранного элемента встречал, но до суда дело не доходило.
