“票据行为诚信”原则再认识——基于票据法技术性特征

New Reflections on "Good Faith in Act of Bill"——In Terms of Technicality of Chinese Bill Law

票据制度的产生与发展是商品经济发达的重要体现,是交易规模突破地域限制的一种新发展。相比中世纪末就创造了票据制度的欧洲,新中国的票据制度发展起步于上个世纪80年代,1995年颁布《中华人民共和国票据法》(以下简称《票据法》)是票据发展的里程碑,这种缺乏历史底蕴的"快车道"立法必然存在一些"瑕疵"。虽然2004年修改了《票据法》的有关规定,但违背了"票据技术性"的第10条并没有废止,这一关于"票据行为诚信"原则的规定与票据制度技术性特征相左,导致了票据法灵魂——"票据外观化"形同虚设,应当在将来的票据法修改中去除。

Law of bill is the embodiment of the development of commodity economy, which is a new development of transaction size breaking territory restriction. Compared with EU which established bill law in late medieval, Law of bill in China, started in the 1980s. The promulgation of Bill Law in 1995 is a milestone in China. Due to lack of historical foundation, Bill Law in 1995 contains some flaws. Some of the flaws have been amended in 2004, but article 10, regulating ＂good faith in act of bill＂, still exists, which is abhorrent from the angles of technicality. The principle leads to the fact that ＂the appearance of bill＂ performs practically no function and it should be removed in next amending of bill law.
