论法人对法定代表人的追偿权——《民法总则》第62条的理解与适用

On Legal Person's Right of Recovery from Legal Representative:Understanding and Application of Article 62 of General Provisions of Civil Law

针对《民法总则》第62条法定代表人执行职务构成法人侵权,法人承担侵权责任后向法定代表人追偿的情形,论述了法定代表人与法人在外部属于代表关系,在内部属于委托关系。认为法定代表人执行职务构成法人侵权时,法人承担责任属于法定代表人违反受托人义务,法人可据此向其追偿,但仅限于主观故意和重大过失的情形,追偿的范围也仅限于承担赔偿损害的侵权责任所受的直接经济损失。

Article 62 of the General Provisions of Civil Law stipulates that the legal representative shall perform legal duties to infringe the legal person’s rights and legal persons assume the responsibility of infringement and recover from the legal representative.The legal representative and the legal person belong to the representative relationship on the outside,and belong to the entrusted relationship internally.When the legal representative performs his duties constituting a legal infringement,the legal person shall assume the responsibility for breach of the trustee’s obligations under the legal representative,and the legal person may recover it from the trustee,but only in the case of subjective intent and gross negligence,and the scope of the recovery shall be limited to the compensation for damages of the direct economic losses suffered by the tort liability.
