债权平等原则在代位权理论中的重释

Redefinition of the Equality of Creditor’s Rights in the Subrogation Theory

基于经济发展的实际需要,债权人代位权制度在具体实行效果上出现了对“入库规则”的悖离。其功能已不仅局限于保全债权,而向债权行使方式的方向发展。这引起民法领域对债权平等原则真实涵义的质疑。本文作者带着一种怀疑的态度对民法中的“债权平等”进行了一番理论与制度的考察,并结合一些深层次的法哲学思考,认为债权平等的终极价值在于追求机会平等,而不是绝对平均主义的结果平等,从而重释了“债权平等”在代位权理论中的意义。

Becaused of the real need of economic development subrogation betrays the “rule of warehousing” in its exercising effect. Its function has developed from “to assure the safety of creditor’s rights” to “a way of exercising creditor’s rights”. Thus the principle of equality of creditor’s rights regulated by the tradition contract law has made a great change, which has been arousing questions in the civil law field. In terms of the laws in effect and the related theories in law philosophy, the article explores the real pursuit of equality of creditor’s rights, which is a kind of opportunity equality, rather than an absolute result equality.
