略论海商法的若干基本原则

A Simple Analysis of Some Fundamental Principles of Maritime Law

法律基本原则一直是一个法学中充满争论而又不得不面对的问题。在民法中,对于法律基本原则的定义和具体种类众说纷纭。而作为海商法这个特殊的部门法来说,在适用海商法而遇到法律暂无规定或者需要对法条进行进一步解释时,就必须借用民法的基本原则进行。这虽然在某种程度上解决了实际问题,但在法理上并不十分妥当。因此,从海商法具体的适用上对其作具体原则分析,从而总结出若干可以指导司法的具体原则,这对实际司法能起到一个导向的作用。

The fundamental principle of law is always a problem that must be in face of and be discussed. In civil law, there are kinds of definition and physical varieties about it. Especially in maritime law, the fundamental principle is absent in domestic research. If a judge needs to apply the correct rules of law, or interpret it deeply, he must borrow its spirit from civil law. To some extent, it dissolves the actual problems, but we do not think it is very proper in theory of law. Therefore, it is very helpful to conclude several applicable principles to direct judgement in lawsuits from the analysis of the specific principles of maritime law.
