| 单词 | Wagering contract |
| 释义 | 賭注合約 A bet between two parties professing to hold opposite views touching the issue of a future uncertain event, in which they mutually agree that, dependent upon the determination of that event, one shall win from the other, and that other shall pay or hand over to him, a sum of money or other stake; neither of the contracting parties having any other interest in that contract than the sum or stake he will so win or lose, there being no other real consideration for the making of such contract by either of the parties: Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, Vol 3, Betting, Gambling and Lotteries [50.003]. The characteristics of a wagering contract are (1) there must be two persons or groups of persons concerned in the transaction; (2) one person or group, that is, the loser, must be bound to pay money or money’s worth to the other person or group, that is, the winner, if an event happens; (3) the loser must be bound to pay money or money’s worth to the winner, if the event does not happen; and (4) the bet is decided according to whether the event does or does not happen: A-G v Chan Wah [1946–1972] HKC 684. If either of the parties may win but cannot lose, or may lose but cannot win, it is not a wagering contract: Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co [1892] 2 QB 484. See also Betting; Bookmaking; Gambling; Gaming or wagering contract; Race meeting. 就未來某項未確定的事件，自稱持有對立意見的雙方之間作出的投注，該雙方相互同意：取決於該事件的終結，其中一位會從另一方嬴得一筆款項或其他賭金，及該另一方須將該筆款項或賭金付予或移交予該其中一方；除將嬴得或輸掉的該筆款項或賭金之外，任何一名締約方於該合約中均無任何其他利益，該雙方之間所訂立的該份合約無任何其他真正的代價：Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, 第3冊，博財、賭博與獎券，第[50.003]段。賭注合約的特色是：(1) 必須有兩名人士或群體參與該宗交易；(2) 當某事件發生時，一名人士或群體（即輸方）必須受規定約束而支付金錢或金錢等值予另一人或群體（即嬴方）；(3) 當該事件未有發生時，輸方必須受規定約束而支付金錢或金錢等值予嬴方；及(4) 賭注是根據該該事件有否發生而決定：A-G v Chan Wah [1946–1972] HKC 684。若其中一方可能會嬴但不會輸，或可能會輸但不會嬴，則該合約不屬賭注合約：Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co [1892] 2 QB 484。另見 Betting; Bookmaking; Gambling; Gaming or wagering contract; Race meeting。 |
