About: Privity of contract

An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The doctrine of privity of contract is a common law principle which provides that a contract cannot confer rights or impose obligations upon any person who is not a party to the contract. The premise is that only parties to contracts should be able to sue to enforce their rights or claim damages as such. However, the doctrine has proven problematic because of its implications for contracts made for the benefit of third parties who are unable to enforce the obligations of the contracting parties. In England and Wales, the doctrine has been substantially weakened by the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, which created a statutory exception to privity (enforceable third party rights).

  • 合同的相对性是指有效成立的合同仅仅对通过意思表示接受合同约束的合同双方有约束力，而对合同第三人一般没有约束力。一般认为，合同相对性起源于罗马法中的债的相对性，在罗马法中，债（obligation）这个词，有时也称为“法锁”（juris vinelum）。所谓法锁或法律上的锁链，即指债的关系是债权人和债务人之间的法律关系，而不涉及特定的当事人之外的第三人。相比较于作为对世权的物权，债权也被称之为‘对人权’。合同相对性也是作为现代民法基石的原则的具体体现。 (zh)
