论环境责任保险对侵权法之影响

Environmental Liability Insurance and the Law of Torts

侵权法的局限性催生了环境责任保险,而传统侵权理论对环境责任保险正当性的质疑是站不住脚的,它阻碍了环境责任保险的发展。事实上,环境责任保险制度把环境民事责任与合同契约责任有机联系起来,弥补了侵权行为法在环境侵权领域的局限性,适应了时代发展的要求,不仅不违反道德规范,不会导致个人责任没落,反而突破了传统侵权理论的桎梏,强化了侵权法的补偿功能,促进了无过错责任原则的发展,扩大了侵权责任的范围和领域,有助于近代侵权法向现代侵权法过渡,对侵权行为法具有积极影响。

The law of torts, which develops with the society development, is not irrevocable unceasingly. The conflicts between environmental liability insurance and the traditional law of torts showed that the law of torts must be changed. The environmental liability insurance combines civil liability and agreement responsibility with, develops No-fault liability, expands the scope and the domain of the tort liability, and is helpful for the law of torts.
