| 单词 | Nonfeasance |
| 释义 | 不履行法律責任 The omission or failure by a person or public body to do something which that person or public body has agreed or is otherwise liable to do. Contract - Where a party simply refuses to perform his part of a contract: Boorman v Brown (1842) 3 QB 511, 114 ER 603. In many cases it is difficult to distinguish a mere nonfeasance from a misfeasance: Boorman v Brown, supra. See also Contract. Public administration - At common law a highway authority is not liable for a nonfeasance constituted by a failure to repair a highway which falls into disrepair (in the absence of a statutory obligation to repair the highway): Papworth v Battersea Corp [1915] 1 KB 392, (CA); Sydney Municipal Council v Bourke [1895] AC 433 (PC). It is however liable for a misfeasance constituted by a positive act which renders the highway dangerous: Bathurst Borough v Macpherson (1879) 4 App Cas 256; McClelland v Manchester Corp [1912] 1 KB 118; Sheppard v Glossop Borough Corp [1912] 3 KB 132. 某人或公共機構不作為或沒有履行其已同意，或負有法律責任作出的某事情。 合約 - 凡一方拒絕履行他就自己在合約的部份之責任：Boorman v Brown (1842) 3 QB 511, 114 ER 603。很多時候，不容易把不履行法律責任與不當行為識別開來：Boorman v Brown, 見上文。另見 Contract。 公共行政 - 普通法下，道路交通部門就因不維修道路而導致道路失修，所構成的不履行法律責任不負法律責任（在沒有法定義務作出道路維修的情形下）：Papworth v Battersea Corp [1915] 1 KB 392, (芵國上訴法院)；Sydney Municipal Council v Bourke [1895] AC 433 (樞密院)。但因積極行為而導致道路有危險，這所構成的不當行為，負有法律責任：Bathurst Borough v Macpherson (1879) 4 App Cas 256；McClelland v Manchester Corp [1912] 1 KB 118；Sheppard v Glossop Borough Corp [1912] 3 KB 132。adj. |
