| 单词 | Default clause |
| 释义 | 失責條款 A provision in a building contract entitling the proprietor to determine the contract in certain circumstances. These circumstances commonly include unauthorised suspension of work, failing to proceed with due diligence, poor work or substandard materials, failing to comply with a direction of the contract administrator to remove defective work, and insolvency. Default clauses may be express or implied: Cosmo Sea Freight (HK) Ltd v Gold King Consolidator Ltd (HCA 8254/92, unreported). No precise form of words is necessary to create a default clause. It is sufficient if the words used were intended to have the effect of creating a condition. Also known as ‘forfeiture clause’: Sung Hing Chuen v Cheng Tsui [1977-1979] 1 HKC 560 (DC), Seto Sylvia & Anor v Kowloon Shopping Centre Ltd & Anor [1980] 1 HKC 725 (HC). See also Building contract; Default; Due diligence; Forfeiture clause. 指建築物所有人享有在若干情況下終止合約的建造合約條文。這等情況一般包括承建商在未經授權下單方面中止工程；或承建商沒有以應盡的努力繼續進行工程；或承建商施工粗劣或使用不符合規格的材料；或承建商沒有遵照合約管理人的指示拆除有缺陷的工程；或承建商無償債能力。失責條款可以是明示或隱含的：Cosmo Sea Freight (HK) Ltd v Gold King Consolidator Ltd （高院民事訴訟1992年第8254號，未經彙報）。不須以確實形式的文字訂立失責條款。如有意圖使用有關的文字產生條件的效果，則已足夠。另稱「喪失權利條款」：Sung Hing Chuen v Cheng Tsui [1977-1979] 1 HKC 560（區域法院），Seto Sylvia & Anor v Kowloon Shopping Centre Ltd & Anor [1980] 1 HKC 725 （高等法院）。另見 Building contract; Default; Due diligence; Forfeiture clause。 |
