农村承包经营户的法律地位问题探究

A Probe into the Problem of the Legal Status of Peasant Household

农村承包经营户作为一种特有的农业生产经营主体,在我国《民法通则》第27条中定性为民事主体,然而我国多数学者却认为其应当属于商事主体。随着中央一号文件的公布,对于农村承包经营户法律地位的单一化的界定,已不能适应社会发展的新趋势。我们应原则上视农村承包经营户为民事主体的同时,赋予农村承包经营户以选择权,保留其成为商事主体的可能性,并引入有限责任制度及个人破产制度,保障农村承包经营户的发展。

Peasant household,as a specific subject in agricultural production,has been prescribed as civil subject,according to the section 27 of the General Principles of the Civil Law.The majority of scholars,however,consider that it should belong to the commercial subject.With the announcement of the Central Document No.1,the single definition on the legal status of peasant household has not adapted to the new social trend.In principle,we should view peasant household as a civil subject,while giving peasant household the right to select,retaining the possibility of keeping it a commercial subject,and introducing the limited liability system and personal bankruptcy system to protect the development of peasant household.
