论纯粹精神损害赔偿

On Compensation for Pure Mental Damage

纯粹精神损害赔偿制度在英美法国家漫长的司法实践和理论积累的过程中,经历了从无到有,从保护范围的不断扩大到对过于宽泛的赔偿责任进行合理限制的发展路径。开启了保护受害人纯粹精神利益的重要历程,完善了民事权益的保护体系,具有一定的进步意义。相比较而言,我国在精神损害赔偿方面的立法起步较晚,相关理论和立法都相对滞后,这些不足将导致民事主体的合法权益无法得到充分的保障,同时也不利于我国社会社会主义法律体系的完善。因此,有必要在对英美法纯粹精神损害赔偿制度深入研究的基础上,借鉴其有益之处进一步完善我国现有的精神损害赔偿制度。

During a long-term accumulation of judicial theory and practice in common laws in Britain, America and France, the system of compensation for pure mental damage has undergone a long period from the beginning to its formation, from the increasing expansion of protection to the reasonable limitation of the over-extensive compensation responsibility. It has started the compensation for the pure mental damage of victims, perfected the protection system of civil rights, which has some progressive significance. Relatively, the legislation of such compensation started very late, and the relative theories and legislations fall behind. Such limitations will lead to the failure to protect fully the legal rights of civil subjects. Meanwhile, they are not helpful to the perfection of socialist legal system. Therefore, it is necessary to take some reference from the above mentioned countries and hence perfect our current system of compensation for pure mental damage.
