The system of converting the effect of invalid legal acts, which transforms an invalid legal act (the foundational act) into a substitute new legal act (the substitute act), aims to uphold autonomy and balance transactional risks, holding significant importance. When handling specific cases, it is first necessary to determine whether the foundational act qualifies as an invalid legal act. If the legal effect is still uncertain or revocable, this system cannot be applied. Secondly, it must be ensured that the effect of the substitute act does not exceed the scope of the foundational act, and the meaning of the invalid foundational act must encompass the valid substitute act. Lastly, it should be confirmed that the conversion measure does not contradict the true intent of the parties involved. If the parties explicitly refuse the application of the conversion system, their true intentions must be respected. When converting the foundational act, adjudicators must also consider its interaction and distinction from other remedial mechanisms. If the protection of autonomy can be achieved through the interpretation of declarations of intent or the rectification of formal defects, these two systems should be prioritized and applied. Overall, the system of conversion has a profound historical background and significant implications, undoubtedly contributing positively to the development of civil law with Chinese characteristics.
