论修改《海商法》应否补充规定英国模式的“最大诚信原则”——兼对海上保险法最大诚信原则的反思

Should the Principle of Utmost Good Faith Be Adopted in CMC?——Theoretical Reconsideration on the Principle of Utmost Good Faith in the Marine Insurance Law

MIA190 6第 17条所创建的最大诚信原则存在重大缺陷 ;另外 ,英国模式的最大诚信原则不符合大陆法系的立法要求 ,更无法与我国《海商法》的现有规定协调一致 ,因此 ,本文认为我国修改《海商法》不应引入类似的规定。同时 ,本文也从理论上对最大诚信原则进行了必要的反思。

Since the principle of utmost good faith established by the section 17 of MIA 1906, has some serious defects.Additionally, this principle with the common law pattern will not meet requirements of the legislative principles in the civil law countries, and as a result, it cannot be harmonized with other provisions of CMC either. So this paper, taking the principle into theoretical reconsideration, draws a conclusion that the principle of utmost good faith should not be adopted in the CMC while being revised.
