论《合同法》中前后矛盾或自相矛盾的几个条款

On The Inconsistencies Or Intrinsic Contradictions Arising From Certain Provisions of The China's Contract Law

1999年《合同法》的颁布不仅是合同法的重大发展,而且对中国民法典的制定具有促进作用。但《合同法》的某些条款存在前后矛盾或自相矛盾之处,主要包括:第10条、第36条关于书面形式的弹性规定之间的矛盾;第25条、第32条、第33条关于合同成立时间的规定之间的矛盾;第34条、第35条关于合同成立地点的规定之间的矛盾;第140条、第25条关于合同生效的规定之间的矛盾及第140条的内在矛盾。上述条款之间的前后不一致或内在矛盾需要通过司法解释或法律修订进一步完善,以减少当事人之间不必要的纠纷。

The Contract Law＇s promulgation and enforcement in 1999 constitute not only a major development of China＇s contract law,but also an important step in China＇s enactment of its much-awaited Civil Code.However,there are some inconsistencies or in-trinsic contradictions Arising From Certain Provisions of The China＇s Contract Law,including：the inconsistency concerning the flexibility of the written formality arising from Article 10 and Article 36;the inconsistency on the time of the conclusion of the contract arising from Article 25,Article 32,and Article 33;the inconsistency about the place where the contract is concluded arising from Article 34 and Article 35;the inconsistency on the time when a contract becomes effective arising from Article 140 and Article 25 and the intrinsic contradiction in Article 140.The above-mentioned inconsistencies or inherent contradiction may be resolved by judicial interpretation or the revision of the contract law to diminish or prevent the disputes among the parties.
