论违约精神损害赔偿

On Compensation for Spiritual Damage of Breach of Contract

传统理论认为,精神损害赔偿适用于侵权民事责任,精神赔偿不能扩展到合同关系。随着社会的发展,英美法系和大陆法系国家的立法和司法支持了违约精神损害的赔偿请求。我国应借鉴国外立法经验,在违约之诉中有限度地承认精神损害赔偿。

The traditional theory suggests that compensation for spiritual damage only applies to tort liability, so compensation for spiritual damage cannot apply to contract. Along with social development, some countries of Common Law system and Civil Law system support claims for spiritual damage caused by breach of contract in legislation and juridical practice. Our country should adopt foreign legislation and provide compensation for spiritual damage in suit of breach.
