论第三人利益合同

On the Contract for Third Party's Benefit

合同相对性原则削足适履的做法,会不可避免地造成契约法的封闭化。经过新自然法学和法律现实主义的历次法哲学运动的洗礼,第三人利益合同得到承认并构成对合同相对性原则的强烈冲击。资本主义两大法系国家的法律都承认一般意义上的第三人利益合同,而我国民法和合同法均不承认其效力。借鉴两大法系国家的经验,建立一般意义上的第三人利益合同制度势在必行。

The principle of privity of contract will, inevitably cause the parochialism of contract law. After the ablution of new natural law and law realism, the contract for third party's benefit is recognized and a big shock to the principle of privity of contract is caused. The contract for third party's benefit is recognized in the two major law systems in capitalist countries.In China's civil law and contract law, the contract for third party's benefit is not recognized. It is inevitable to protect the third party's benefit, China's contract law should define the contract for third party's benefit.
