“公序良俗”概念解析

An Analytical Interpretation of the Legal Term "Public Policy & Good Morals"

强制性法规否定法律行为效力的时候,经常表现为法律行为的特定性。然而,公序良俗原则否定法律行为效力的时候,常表现为弱特定性,判断行为亦常伴有公共性、伦理性之规范性评价的介入。同时,公序良俗原则的适用领域随着社会的发展而不断扩大,与诚实信用等其他积极性原则相比较,公序良俗原则具有消极适用性。它永远是法治的最底线。正因为如此,它永远具有顽强的生命力。

When the compulsory rules deny the validity of the legal behaviors, they often display the specific nature of the legal behaviors. However, when the Public Policy and Good Manners defies the validity of legal behaviors, its specific nature is relatively weak. In addition, the judgment behaviors usually involve the introduction of comments with public and ethical rules. The fields where the Public Policy and Good Manners is applied are expanding increasingly with the development of the society. Compared with other positive principles, such as the principle of honesty and credibility, the Public Policy and Good Manners has negative nature of application. This principle will be the baseline of the rule of law. As a result, it will have great vitality forever.
