继续性合同:基于合同法理与立法技术的多重考量

Continuing Contract:A Multiple Considerations Based on Contract Jurisprudence and Legislative Technique

继续性合同是总给付内容随着时间的延展才能逐步确定的合同。它是一种动态的过程化契约,具有关系性契约和不完全契约的属性,在本质上是不确定性契约。继续性合同与一时性合同在现代合同法体系中体现为偏正结构的形式。合同法采取了"继续性合同一时性合同化"的立法策略,使之符合合同法的内在逻辑和基本理念。基于"典型合同类型"的开放性特征,继续性合同被包容在以一时性合同为主导地位的合同法体系之内。

Continuous contracts （ Dauerschuldverhltnisse） are contracts of which the overall payment canonly be fixed according to the extension of the time. It is a dynamic processing contract with the properties ofrelational contract and incomplete contract,in nature,continuous contracts are uncertain contracts. The formsof continuous contract and discrete contract are of primary and secondary structure in modern contract law system. The legislative strategy of ＂continuous contract in the form of discrete contract＂ adopted in the contractlaw accords with its internal logic and fundamental idea. Based on the open property of ＂model contract category＂ ,continuous contract is included in the contract law system of which discrete contract is in the leadingposition.
