合同法归责原则探讨

A Further Discussion on the Doctrine of Liability Fixation in Contract Law

通过考察大陆法系和英美法系合同归责原则的历史流变,可以发现大陆法系的合同法归责原则是以过错归责原则为主的多元归责体系,而英美合同法也已对严格归责原则进行了某种意义的修正,并在接纳过错归责原则上与大陆法系渐行渐近。我国合同法弃过错责任而选严格责任,实际上是逆流而上,完成了向古典意义上严格责任的回归。

With the study on the history of the doctrine of liability fixation in contract law of both continental law system and Anglo - American law system, we can conclude that the continental law system adopted multiple liability fixation system with fault liability principle as the basis and the Anglo- American contract law has modified the strict liability and thus been close to continental law system. The contract law of China combined the fault liability with the strict liability, and get back upstream to the classical strict liability.
