我国合同法上预期违约制度新探

预期违约是英美合同法通过判例发展起来的特有制度,现已为绝大多数国家的合同法和国际合同公约所普遍接受而成为现代合同法上的重要制度。面向21世纪的我国新《合同法》在参酌他国他地区成功的判例、学说与先进的立法经验之基础上,第一次规制了预期违约制度,扩大了对当事人的权益保护,体现了合同法的价值关怀。从理论上,正确解析预期违约的价值取向,科学认定预期违约的形态,进一步完善预期违约的救济制度,对于准确适用这一制度,意义十分重大。

A Probe into the Convention of Doctrine of Anticipatory Breach of China's Contract Law

The doctrine of anticipatory breach, though an institution of the Anglo-American legal system, was accepted into the world's most jurisdictions, and the international contract conventions. The PRC's new Contract Law referred wildly to other jurisdictions' advanced legal theories, precedents, and legislation experiences. Then established, firstly in China, the institution of Anticipatory breach, which enlarged the Contract Law's protection scope of the parties' interests. Further study of anticipatory breach is necessary in solving theoretical problems like, forms of anticipated breach, remedies for anticipatory breach, contents of the legislation purpose, and enforcement of the institution.
