| 释义 | 不履行合約 In contract law, the failure to perform a contractual obligation where the promisor makes no attempt at all to perform, or has performed in a manner which is totally different from that required by the contract. In the case of a contract for the sale of goods, if the seller delivers a quantity of goods larger or smaller than he contracted to sell, or delivers the goods mixed with goods of a different description not included in the contract, that is not a performance of the contract and the buyer is entitled to reject the goods: Sale of Goods Ordinance (Cap 26) s 32(3); Suisse Atlantique Société d’Armement Maritime SA v NV Rotterdamsche Kolen Centrale [1966] 2 All ER 61, [1967] 1 AC 361 (HL). A contract may contain a stipulation that in the event of non-performance a certain sum of money is to be paid. Where the contract gives the vendor an express right of forfeiture on non-performance of the contract, the right is exercisable when such non-performance is finally ascertained, that is, at the date for performance named in the contract if, but only if, time is of the essence of the contract: Ng Chek- kok v Kiu Wai Ming [1992] 1 HKLR 5; Union Eagle Ltd v Golden Achievement Ltd [1997] HKLR 366, 1 HKC 173, AC 514 (PC). See also Breach of contract; Failure of performance; Performance. 就合約法而言，在下述情形下合約義務沒有獲得履行，即承諾人完全沒有試圖作出履行，或承諾人以完全不符合約規定的方式作出履行。就售貨合約而言，凡賣方交付貨品給買方，但在他約定售賣的貨品中，混入合約內並不包括且屬於不同種類的貨品，這不算履行合約，買方並可拒收貨品：《貨品售賣條例》（第26章）第32(3)條；Suisse Atlantique Société d’Armement Maritime SA v NV Rotterdamsche Kolen Centrale [1966] 2 All ER 61, [1967] 1 AC 361 (上議院)。合約可就不履行合約的情況，包含支付某確定數額款項的指定條款。凡合約給予賣方在不履行合約時取消合約的明示權利者，這權利可在不履行合約的行為在最終得以確定時行使，即合約指明的履行日期，但僅僅在時限的規定為合約的要素這種情形下：Ng Chek- kok v Kiu Wai Ming [1992] 1 HKLR 5；Union Eagle Ltd v Golden Achievement Ltd [1997] HKLR 366, 1 HKC 173, AC 514 (樞密院)。另見 Breach of contract; Failure of performance; Performance。 |
