论电子商务法的基本原则——以全球电子商务立法为视角

Basic Principles of Electronic Commerce Law:A Perspective of Global E-Commerce Laws

电子商务法的国际协调性和趋同性并未完全统一当前关于电子商务法基本原则的不同立法主张或理论观点。目前主张的原则大多属于与电子商务法的基本原则有关的立法指导思想、立法技术、具体原则及传统商法的基本原则的范畴,其中技术中立原则和媒介中立原则才属于电子商务法的基本原则。融合了公平原则、过错责任原则和技术局限免责理念的技术风险合理分配原则作为电子商务法的基本原则在立法中已有反映但未能在理论上得到重视。

International coordination and similarity ot E-commerce law has not led to unilication of legislative intents or theoretical views concerning the basic principles of E-commerce law. Most of the principles formulated now are either of legislative guidelines and technique, or of practice and traditional law commercial, which, strictly speaking, do not qualify as fundamental principles with the exception of technology neutrality principle and media neutrality principle. The contribution of technical risk principle, having incorporated the justice principle, the faulty liability principle and the notion of immunity from liability due to technical limitation, has already been held as a basic principle in some legislation but not ever gained its recognition in logic.
