论精神损害赔偿请求权主体的认定

Study on the Definition of Subject Asking for Compensation for Mental Damage

在司法实践中,对具有权利能力的心理生理健全的自然人受侵害而产生的精神损害的认定比较简单。然而,请求精神损害之救济的主体并非总是具有感知能力或权利能力,如法人、未成年人甚至死者等。法律是否应支持这类主体提起的精神损害赔偿请求?这在实践中引起了极大争议。故本文从受害人是否必须具有权利能力以及感知能力两个方面出发,深入探讨了精神损害赔偿请求权主体所必须具备的条件。

In judicial practice, it is simple to define mental damage of natural person with healthy psychology and physiology. Nevertheless, the subject asking for relief does not always have capacity for rights and consciousness ability, such as legal persons, juvenile or the dead, etc. And should the law support the compensation for their mental damages？ This has caused the great dispute in practice. In this way the author thoroughly discusses whether the subject asking for compensation for mental damages must have the capacity for rights and consciousness ability.
