Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Fault, as a legal term, refers to legal blameworthiness and responsibility in each area of law. It refers to both the actus reus and the mental state of the defendant. The basic principle is that a defendant should be able to contemplate the harm that his actions may cause, and therefore should aim to avoid such actions. Different forms of liability employ different notions of fault, in some there is no need to prove fault, but the absence of it. In criminal law, the mens rea is used to decide if the defendant has criminal intent when he commits the act and, if so, he is therefore liable for the crime. However, this is not necessary for strict liability offences, where no particular state of mind is required to satisfy the burden of proof. (en)

  • 过错(英語:Fault)是普通法的一個概念,指行为人在主观心理上或客观行为上的可归责性。对什么是过错的问题,有主观标准和客观标准等学说,其中主观标准说认为过错是行为人故意或过失的心理状态;客观标准说认为过错是行为人违反了某种客观行为准则,如注意义务、理性人、等。 在侵权法上,过错责任原则(自己責任原則)是指在损害发生时,只有被告存在过错才需要承担。过错责任原则與以及契約自由原則,同為近代民法典的基本原则。近代民法典为了保障个人自由活动的权利,原则上采用过错责任,这也是法国民法典等大多数民法典的核心原则之一。但是,随着现代科学和技术的发达,环境污染、公害、交通事故和原子能灾害等危险的产生,过错责任不能给受害者提供足够的救济,因此在这些领域内,采用无过错责任的立法倾向和司法操作正在逐渐增加。 (zh)
