比较法视野中买卖合同的价格条款

The Price Term of Sale Contracts under Comparative Law

目前,我国合同法律规范否定价格条款是买卖合同的必要条款,并将价格条款缺失的问题放在合同履行部分加以解决。但是,从对待给付、意思表示、合同类型化和合同自由的限制来看,价格条款都应该是买卖合同的必要条款。这一点也为域外法所承认。如此一来,我国"将价格条款缺失的问题放在合同履行部分加以解决"就存在内在的逻辑缺陷。我国合同法可以引入美国《统一商法典》中价格待定条款理论来解决这个问题,既可以保全逻辑性,也可以适应贸易发展的需要。

At present, our country’s contract legal norms deny the price terms’ necessity for purchase and sale contract, and leave this problem to the fulfillment of contract. However, in terms of gegenleistung, declaration of intention, contract categorization and the limit of contract freedom, price terms should be necessary in purchase and sale contract, which is well recognized abroad. Thus, there exist some intrinsic logic flaws in our country’s legal measures. Consequently, Our County’s Contract Law should bring in the open price term from American Uniform Commercial Code to settle this problem, which both can keep logicality and can adapt to the demand of trade development.
