论第三人利益合同的几个问题

On Several Questions of Contract for a Third Party

《合同法》首次规定了第三人利益合同制度,但是,《合同法》的规定是十分粗陋和简约的,很多内容尚付缺如,尤其在第三人利益合同的效力方面,更是如此。为了弥补立法上的空白,本文讨论了“第三人对合同权利的接受和拒绝”、“第三人履约请求权和追究债务人违约责任的权利”、“债权人变动合同的权利和追究债务人违约责任的权利”、“债务人的不当得利请求权”和“履行费用的负担”等五个方面的问题,提出了一些并于传统理论的观点。

《Contract Law of the People' s Republic of China》first provides contract for a third party. But the provisions are very simple, even blank in some ways, especially in effectiveness of contract for a third party. To change these, the author states the following questions: the third' s acceptance and rejection for the right under the contract, the third' s right to ask the obligor' s obligations of performance and liabilities for breach of contract, the obligee' s right to change contract and ask the obligor' s liabilities for breach of contract, the obligor' s right to ask the obligee or the third to return the interests they don' t obtains under law, the burden of the expenses of performance. In the article, the author states some ideas differing from traditional theories.
