论合同法上信赖利益的概念及对成本费用的损害赔偿

On the Definition of Reliance Interest and the Recovery of Expenditures

本文首先指出,违约损害赔偿的基本目标是赔偿履行利益,赔偿信赖利益只是退而求其次的手段。通过研究履行利益的构成,本文指出,对于大多数的商业合同来说,信赖利益只是履行利益的一个组成部分。之后,讨论了信赖利益本身的不足,并指出,履行利益、信赖利益和返还利益的划分对于违约合同赔偿的分类来说是有意义的,而对于实践中救济的数量和形式几乎没有任何影响。本文的最后一部分试图在此基础上提出作者自己解决损害赔偿的理论。

The basic goal of the breach ot contract rules lies in the protection of expectation interest.By contrast is the claim on damages in reliance interest only a secondary alternative for the creditor.After analyzing the composition of expectation interest,this paper argued that,for most commercial contracts,the reliance interest is in essence a part of expectation interest(expectation interest less profit).This paper also points out several defects in the concept and justifications of the reliance interest,and argues that although the classification—expectation,reliance and res- titution interest—is useful to sort different kinds of damages out of breach of con- tract,it has in practice little impact on the decision about the amount and the form of the remedy.In the final part of this paper the author tries to advance his own the- ory about the compensation for the loss of expenditure.
