《民法总则》显失公平制度评述

Review of the Unconscionability System in the General Rules of Civil Law

显失公平作为合同法上公平原则的体现,具有其独立存在的价值。民法典编纂视阙下,对于显失公平制度的构建,理论界和实务操作中存在极大的争议。刚刚通过的《民法总则》重构显失公平制度,但仍存在规定不明确的问题。为完善立法,我国显失公平制度应借鉴域外立法,结合实务经验,细化主客观要件的评判标准,缓和举证难题,以便给予当事人充分的法律救济,彰显契约自由与正义。

Symbolizing the principle of fairness in Contract Law, unconscionability has its own value of independent existence. The construction of the unconscionability in the compilation of the Civil Code causes heated arguments in both theory and practice. Although the unconscionability system is reconstructed in the new General Rules of Civil Law, there still exist problems of ambiguity. To perfect legislation, our unconscionability system should learn from extraterritorial laws, summarize practical experience, reify the subjective and objective standards and resolve the problem of proof, so that the parties involved will get more legal remedy and the freedom and justice of contract will be demonstrated.
