| 单词 | Knock down |
| 释义 | 擊倒 In relation to an auction, the acceptance of a bid by an auctioneer, marked usually by the fall of the hammer at the highest bid. Once property has been ‘knocked down’ to the highest bidder, an oral contract for sale of that property arises. Until the property is actually knocked down there is no complete contract of sale: Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, Vol 1, Auction [30.038]. After bidding has commenced, the auctioneer is liable in damages to the highest bidder for breach of the auction conditions if the auctioneer refuses to knock down the property to the highest lawful bidder: Warlow v Harrison (1859) 1 E & E 309. See also Acceptance; Auction; Auctioneer; Bid. 就拍賣會而言，指拍賣人接受一項出價，通常以在最高出價時拍下木槌代表。當財產一經為出價最高的競投人「擊倒」時，售賣該財產的口頭合約即產生。在該財產被實際「擊倒」前，並無完整的售賣合約：Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, 第1冊，拍賣，第[30.038]版。競投開始後，凡拍賣人拒絕向最高的合法競投人「擊倒」該財產，拍賣人須為其違反拍賣條件的損害賠償負上法律責任：Warlow v Harrison (1859) 1 E & E 309。另見 Acceptance; Auction; Auctioneer; Bid。 |
