| 单词 | Confer a benefit on stranger |
| 释义 | 向合約局外人賦予利益 To form a contract which contains a provision that intended to benefit a person who is not a party to it. The fact that a contract attempts to confer a benefit on a stranger to the contract does not invalidate the contract. The stranger cannot enforce under the contract but the contract remains valid as between the parties there to: Betty Ho, Hong Kong Contract Law (1994) p 312. The third party is entitled to keep the benefit if there was truly a promise to pay him and the original intention was to benefit him, if the promisor performs, whether voluntarily or under legal compulsion: Beswick v Beswick [1968] AC 58. Under the doctrine of privity of contract, the stranger has no right to sue on the contract: Beswick v Beswick, supra. See also Benefit; Privity of contract. 訂立一份合約，當中載有一項擬使合約以外的一方受益的條款。合約嘗試賦予合約局外人利益而失效。該合約局外人不可強制執行該合約，該合約各方之間仍然有效： Betty Ho， Hong Kong Contract Law (1994年)第312頁。如事實上已存在各第三方付款的承諾，及原來的意圖是使該第三方得益，而立約人履行合約（不論是自願地或受法律強迫），則該第三方有權保存其利益.：Beswick v Beswick [1968] AC 58。根據合約參與關係原則，合約局外人並不享有就該合約提出訴訟的權利：Beswick v Beswick，見上文。另見 Benefit; Privity of contract。 |
