旅游合同违约精神损害赔偿的路径选择

Route Choice of Spiritual Damage Compensation for Breach of Travel Contract

在我国,旅游合同违约的精神损害赔偿面临着权威学说的否定、司法解释的反对,以及精神损害赔偿限于侵权责任的传统束缚。在立法未予承认违约精神损害赔偿的背景下,扩张解释现行法律、由最高人民法院颁发指导性案例、在《旅游法》中引入惩罚性赔偿条款、修订法律是旅游合同违约给予精神损害赔偿可供选择的出路。文章认为,修订法律,构建违约精神损害赔偿责任的一般条款及列举旅游合同严重违约事实是较为理想的制度模式。

In China, spiritual damage compensation for breach of travel contract is faced with being negated by authoritative doctrine, opposed by judicial interpretation and limited to the traditional shackles of tort liability. Under the background that so far spiritual damage compensation for breach of contract has not been explicitly recognized by legislation, expanding interpretation of the existing laws, issuing guidance cases by the Supreme Court, introducing punitive damages to the ＂Travel law＂, revising laws are the alternative ways out for spiritual damage compensation of travel contract. It is pointed out in this paper that revising laws, building the general terms of spiritual damage compensation liability for breach of contract and listing the serious facts for breach of travel contract is an ideal system mode.
