信托受益人对第三人的诉权研究

Litigation Rights of Trust Beneficiaries Against Third Parties

在信托法律关系中,信托受益人的利益具有“隐秘性”和“脆弱性”。然而,我国《信托法》并没有对信托受益人的诉权进行清晰规定。我国并未明确受益人利益受到侵害时,受益人对第三人享有何种性质的诉权及其程序,致使实践中受益人的利益保护存在不确定性。本文借鉴英美法系关于信托受益权性质、信托受益人派生诉讼的判例以及大陆法系国家和地区的经验,对我国信托受益人对第三人的诉权的行使提出建议。

The interests of trust beneficiaries require greater clarity. The Trust Law of the People’s Republic of China does not clearly stipulate that trust beneficiaries have the right to bring litigation against third parties when their interests are infringed. As a result, the interests of beneficiaries are insufficiently protected. This paper puts forward some suggestions on the exercise of trust beneficiaries’ right to take action against third parties in China. It draws lessons from the precedents of the common law system on the nature of trust beneficiary rights, trust beneficiary derivative litigation and the experience of civil law countries and regions.
