诚信原则在现代金融法中的复活

Revival of Credit Principle in the Modern Financial Law

英美法丢弃了大陆法空洞的诚信原则,独立演化出一套灵活的诚信制度和现代金融法中的具体诚信规则。诚信的本质属性是一种社会资本,亦或是一种社会契约义务,在WTO等国际金融立法中也表现出强大的生命力。中国法律制度兼采两大法系之长,逐步吸收、移植西方诚信原则和规则的合理内核,诚信规则体系在我国金融立法中的影响日益加强。

Anglo-American Law developed a flexible credit principle and concrete rules for the modern financial law from the empty creit principle of Continental Law. Credit principle in nature is a kind of social capital or a kind of social contract obligation which shows great vitality in the legislation of international financial organizations such as WTO. However, Chinese legal system takes advantages of both two legal systems. The western credit principle and its reasonable core would be teken in gradually, finally transplanted into Chinese legal system. So it plays an increasingly influential role in the legislation of Chinese financial law.
