法律英语词汇“Postal acceptance rule”的翻译、意思、用法、释义-法律词典

单词	Postal acceptance rule
释义	郵遞承約規則 The rule of contract that all communications with respect to the formation of a contract which are sent through the medium of the Post Office have legal effect, a postal acceptance takes effect immediately after the properly prepaid and addressed letter of acceptance is posted: Household Fire and Carriage Insurance Co (Ltd) v Grant (1879) LR 4 Ex D 216 (CA). The offeror is bound by the acceptance from the time when it was posted, notwithstanding that the letter of acceptance is lost in the post (Household Fire and Carriage Insurance Co (Ltd) v Grant, supra), or that its delivery is delayed (Dunlop v Higgins (1848) 1 HL Cas 381), or that it is returned to the acceptor owing to a mistake in the address caused by the person who made the offer (Adams v Lindsell (1818) 1 B & Ald 681). Contracts made by e-mail, telex, fax or telephone follow the ordinary rules of offer and acceptance, while those made by telegram are in much the same position as those made by posted letter in that, within the scope of the rule (Entores Ltd v Miles Far East Corp (1955) 2 QB 327, 2 All ER 493 (CA)), acceptance prima facie dates from the time the telegram of acceptance is given to the Post Office (Holland v Tolley [1952] CPL 34 (CA)). The postal rule of acceptance may be displaced by a contrary intention expressed in the terms of the offer (Holwell Securities Ltd v Hughes [1974] 1 All ER 161, 1 WLR 155 (CA)), or an improperly addressed letters of acceptance (Re Imperial Land Co of Marseilles, Townsend’s Case (1871) LR 13 Eq 148). See also Acceptance; Contract; Offer. 一項合約規則，即所有以郵局為媒體所發出的有關訂定合約的通訊均有法律效力，而郵遞承約在妥為預付郵費及寫上地址的承約信被投寄後即生效：Household Fire and Carriage Insurance Co (Ltd) v Grant (1879) LR 4 Ex D 216（英國上訴法院）。承約自被投寄起即對要約人產生約束力，儘管承約信在郵遞中丟失了(Household Fire and Carriage Insurance Co (Ltd) v Grant, 見上文)，或派遞上有延誤(Dunlop v Higgins (1848) 1 HL Cas 381)，或因為承約信上的地址有錯誤而被退回承約人，而該錯誤並且是因為作出要約的人而引起的(Adams v Lindsell (1818) 1 B & Ald 681)。以電子郵件、電傳、傳真或電話作出的合約，遵循一般要約及承約的規則，雖然以電報訂定合約的處境與郵遞信件的差不多，但承約日期表面上為郵局接受電報的日期：(Entores Ltd v Miles Far East Corp (1955) 2 QB 327, 2 All ER 493（英國上訴法院）)。郵遞承約規則可藉表示相反意向的要約條款(Holwell Securities Ltd v Hughes [1974] 1 All ER 161, 1 WLR 155（英國上訴法院）)，或不恰當地寫上地址的要約信所取代(Re Imperial Land Co of Marseilles, Townsend’s Case (1871) LR 13 Eq 148)。另見 Acceptance; Contract; Offer。
