风险社会视角下对潜在危害的救济

The Relief Risk Society under the Perspective of Potential Hazards

由于科学技术的发展及认识的局限性,社会发展的潜在风险已远超出当前的认知范围。与传统侵权法要求以实质损害为前提不同,风险社会下的'风险'呈现出不确定性,危害后果显现出滞后性,这使潜在危害的受害者难以在当前侵权法体系下寻求及时充分的救济。在风险社会的背景下,应当将风险损害缓解与分配的理念同潜在危害的救济相结合,完善风险社会下《侵权责任法》对潜在危害的救济。

Pursuant to the speedy development of technologies and the limitation on knowledge,the potential risks underlying the social development can be beyond imagination.Comparing to the traditional tort law which requires the occurrence of substantial damages,the risk under the background of risk society shows the characteristics of uncertainty and hysteresis.It makes it difficult for the victims of latent harms to be adequately protected through prompt and effective remedies under the current tort law legislation.The concepts of risk society and the relief of latent harms should be combined,which can be proper for the sophistication of the proper remedies in the legislation of tort law.
