| 单词 | Act of third party |
| 释义 | 第三者的行為 An act by a person who is not a party to an action or transaction. An act of a third party may operate as a defence, or entitle a defendant to contribution or indemnity against the third party. In negligence, if the act of a third party amounts to a novus actus interveniens (intervening cause), breaking the chain of causation, a defendant may not liable for the consequences of that act: Northwestern Utilities Ltd v London Guarantee and Accident Co Ltd & Ors [1936] AC 108 (PC). See also Contribution; Indemnity; Novus actus interveniens. 法律訴訟雙方以外的人的行為或交易。第三者的行為可是一個辯護理由，或被告人更可因此向第三者索取部分或全部的賠償。在疏忽法來說，如第三者之行為構成一個介入原因而破壞連鎖原因，那麼被告人就可能不用為他行為的後果負責：Northwestern Utilities Ltd v London Guarantee and Accident Co Ltd & Ors [1936] AC 108（樞密院）。另見 Contribution; Indemnity; Novus actus interveniens。 |
