根本违约制度探析

根本违约是从英国普通法上发展而来的一项合同法律制度,后来被《联合国国际货物买卖公约》采纳而成为一个国际性的条款。在当事人一方违约致使另一方订立合同时期望得到并且在正常履行情况下就能够得到的预期利益落空时则构成根本违约,非违约方可以解除合同,对其造成损失的还可以要求赔偿。根本违约制度设立的目的在于限制非违约方滥用解除合同的权利,尽量挽救合同的有效性。

PROBING INTO THE SYSTEM OF FUNDAMENTAL BREACH OF CONTRACT

The system of fundamental breach of contract derives from the common law of Britain which is adopted and become an international clause by the convention of "UN International sales of goods contract".When one party of the contract commits breach so that the anticipatory interest that the other party of the contract expects to acquire while having made contract and can achieve if normal performing the contract doesn't realize,one party of the contract is sentenced to the fundamental breach of contract.Therefore,the nonbreach of contract can terminate performance of the contract.The purpose of this system is not for cancellation of contract,but for the restriction of it.
