| 单词 | Wrongful termination |
| 释义 | 不當終止 1. An attempt by a promisor to cancel the contract or its performance in circumstances where there is no legal right to do so: British and Beningtons Ltd v North Western Cachar Tea Co Ltd [1923] AC 48 (HL). A wrongful termination is not an effective termination, and thus is regarded as a repudiation of the contract: General Billposting Co Ltd v Atkinson [1909] AC 118 (HL). The innocent party may at once treat himself as discharged and bring an action for damages for the breach: White and Carter (Councils) Ltd v McGregor [1962] AC 413, [1961] 3 All ER 1178 (HL). 2. In employment law, where an employer or employee unilaterally terminates otherwise than in a manner recognised by law. Under such circumstances, a termination will be wrongful where either party terminates without giving notice (A-O-A Tours Ltd v Joseph C K Young [1965] HKDCLR 18) or, if notice is given, gives insufficient notice (Ma Mou-leung v Dollar Motors Ltd [1969] HKDCLR 21). In a similar way, a termination will be wrongful where either party terminates without giving a payment in lieu of notice (Luen Hing Engineering Co v Lam Cho-kwan & Ors (HCLA 15/95, unreported)) or, if such a payment is given, is less than required by law (Chan Yin Ping v Pome Ltd [1989] 2 HKC 411). Damages for wrongful termination in employment contracts can be given: Employment Ordinance (Cap 57) s 8A. See also Repudiation; Rescission; Termination. 1. 承諾者在沒有法律權利的情況下嘗試取消合約或取消合約的履行：British and Beningtons Ltd v North Western Cachar Tea Co Ltd [1923] AC 48 (HL)。不當終止並非有效終止，終止合約或終止履行一般屬悔約：General Billposting Co Ltd v Atkinson [1909] AC 118 (HL)。沒有違反合約的一方可即時視自己已被解除責任，並就該違約提起損害賠償訴訟：White and Carter (Councils) Ltd v McGregor [1962] AC 413, [1961] 3 All ER 1178 (HL)。 2.就僱傭合約而言，凡僱主或僱員單方面以法律不認可的方式終止合約。在該種情況下，凡任何一方在沒有給予通知的情形下終止合約，該終止屬不當 (A-O-A Tours Ltd v Joseph C K Young [1965] HKDCLR 18) 或，如已給予通知，通知並不足夠 （Ma Mou-leung v Dollar Motors Ltd [1969] HKDCLR 21）。同樣地，如任何一方沒有給予代通知金而作出終止者，該終止亦屬不當：（Luen Hing ngineering Co v Lam Cho-kwan（高院勞資審裁處上訴1995年第15號，未經彙報））或，如已支付代通知金，金額乃低於法律所規定者 （Chan Yin Ping v Pome Ltd [1989] 2 HKC 411）。損害賠償可就不當終止被判給：《僱傭條例》（第57章）第8A條。另見 Repudiation; Rescission; Termination。 |
