| 单词 | Collateral benefit |
| 释义 | 並行利益 A benefit additional to, or supplementary to, a principal benefit. In an action for damages, a collateral benefit may be awarded to the plaintiff depending on the relevant circumstances which may include statutory considerations. Traditionally, the establishment of such a benefit was founded on the existence of a prior contractual relationship between the parties, or an implied contract between them. However, the courts have adopted the view that the conferring of such a benefit will depend on the circumstances of the particular case, the relationship between the parties and whether or not there is a debt or obligation owed by one party to another by law, apart from any consent or intention of the parties or any privity of contract: Professional Associates v Polytek Engineering Co Ltd [1986] HKLR 20 (HC). See also: Parol Evidence Rule; Quantum meruit; Restitution; Unjust enrichment. 附加於或補充主要利益的利益。損害賠償訴訟中，視乎個別個案的情況（包括法定的考慮因素），原告人可獲賦予此等利益。傳統上，各方之間必須有事先的合約關係或隱含合約，此等利益才獲確立。但法院現時在考慮是否賦予此等利益的問題時，會視乎該個別個案的情況和各方之間的關係，並撇除各方之間的同意或意圖或合約關係，去衡量其中一方是否在法律上對另一方負有某種債項或責任：Professional Associates v Polytek Engineering Co Ltd [1986] HKLR 20（高等法院）。另見 Parol Evidence Rule; Quantum meruit; Restitution; Unjust enrichment。 |
