法律英语词汇“Contractor”的翻译、意思、用法、释义-法律词典

单词	Contractor
释义	承建商 A person who, in pursuit of an independent business, undertakes to do specific work for others, without submitting himself to their control in respect of the details of work. A contractor is therefore not an employee. In the building and construction industry, the contractor is the person or firm undertaking the work on his or its own account or pursuant to a contract for services or arrangement entered into with another person, including the Government or any public body. Where there is more than one contractor undertaking construction work at the site, if a contractor is the principal contractor undertaking work there, he is responsible for the site: reg 2(2)(a); R v Tsui Wai Ping [1993] 2 HKC 675; [1992-93] CPR 23. In modern complex projects, the principal contractor is the builder of the project. It does very little actual building but will subcontract the work to various subcontractors. Its task is to provide the finance and coordinate the work. As the contractor is not an employee, in tort, the employer cannot be held liable for any torts committed by the contractor. However, the employer may be liable for any negligence attributable to his personal fault or any liability imposed by statute: Pinn v Rew (1916) 32 TLR 451. See also Subcontractor; Vicarious liability. 在從事獨立業務時，為其他人承擔某特定工作的人士，但就有關工作的細節並無受制於他們，因此承建商並非僱員。建築業中，承建商指為自已或依據與另一人（包括政府或任何公共機構）訂立的服務合約或協議而承擔工作的人士或商號。在新式而複雜的工程項目中，總承建商等同建造商，但它只從事少量實際建造，相反它會把工程項目分包予不同次承建商，其職責是提供該工程的財政及協調整體工作。由於承建商並非僱員，因此在侵權法中，僱主不可被判須為承建商所犯的任何侵權行為負法律責任。不過，就可歸咎於僱主個人的過失或任何由法規訂明的法律責任而言，僱主可被判須為此負法律責任： Pinn v Rew (1916) 32 TLR 451。另見 Subcontractor; Vicarious liability。n.
