论悬赏广告的法律性质——兼评鲁瑞庚诉东港市公安局悬赏广告纠纷案

悬赏广告的性质在理论上一直是一个有争议的问题。1999年实施的《中华人民共和国合同法》对此没有明确规定。实践中,法院判决时的理论依据各不相同。随着因悬赏广告发生的争议越来越多,准确地给悬赏广告定性无论在理论上还是实践中都具有重要意义。通过对鲁瑞庚诉东港市公安局这一案件的分析,指出悬赏广告的法律性质应为单方法律行为,此案一审、二审的判决都不合理。

On Law Nature of the Reward

The nature of reward has been in dispute for a long time. There are no clear rules about it in Contract Law of the People's Republic of China enacted in 1999.The theories of solving the disputes based on by courts are various. It is very significant to define the nature of reward when more and more conflicts concerning it continue to happen. By analyzing the case of LU Rui-geng, it should be considered a unilateral act not an offer and the sentences of the case in first trial and final trial are unreasonable.
