典权的死亡与再生——兼与张新宝教授商榷

“典权废除论”往往从典权所谓的固有缺陷出发来论证典权制度的没落和消亡,没有看到这一问题的实质不是典权制度先天的不足或者缺陷,而是本土制度在西风东渐的立法体例下,如何很好衔接和融合的问题。由于典权具有相当的特殊性,试图用国外的理论来解释或者纳入其体系之下,总会显得生搬硬套与牵强附会,我们肯定典权在现有物权理论和立法实践中的困难,也考虑到现实的需要和可能,提出在商事特别法的方式下对这一古老制度进行发展和完善。

In view of the need in practice and the possibility in theory, the archaic law institution should be developed by way of the special law on commerce.
