知假买假惩罚性赔偿法律问题研究

Studies on Appling of Punitive Damages in Buying Fake Products on Purpose

2013年修改后的新《消费者权益保护法》从强化保护消费者权益的角度出发,对惩罚性赔偿条款做了修订。修订后的条款比原来的规定更加科学、合理,但是也有一些问题值得进一步探讨,其中争论较大的就是知假买假行为适用惩罚性赔偿问题。从中国目前产品质量的现实情况出发,并基于利益平衡角度考虑,知假买假行为适用惩罚性赔偿,有极为重要的理论意义和现实意义。更为重要的是,对普通消费领域的知假买假的惩罚性赔偿规则,需要进行更为广泛的扩展,包括食品、药品领域和服务领域。目前当务之急是梳理现有的法律规定和司法解释、行政规章之中规定的相互矛盾之处,让司法标准进一步统一,实现法律的公正、公平。

Consumer Protection Law was revised rights and interests of consumers, and the punitive in 2013 from the perspective of strengthening protection of damages clause was also amended.The revised provisions are more scientific and reasonable than the original, but there are also some problems worthy of further discussion, such as whether buying fake products is ought to be applied to punitive damages.Because of China＇s severe product quality problems and the interests balance, buying fake products on purpose should be applied to punitive damages, which has the extremely important significance in theory and practice. More importantly, there is necessary for a broader extension in the field of the rules, and these rules should be applied in food, medicines and services.Currently it is imperative to comb the existing legal provisions, to make judicial standard further unified and realize legal justice.
