单词 Reliance
释义 依賴
The adoption of some action or inaction pursuant to a state of affairs that is assumed to be true upon a representation, promise or assurance made by another. Where a defendant makes a statement which is reasonably relied upon by a plaintiff (who may even be a third party), in the way intended by the defendant, with the resultant damage to the plaintiff, there may be an expressed or implied assumption of responsibility sufficient to give rise to liability for economic loss flowing from the reliance: Yue Xiu Finance Company Limited v Agnew [1996] 2 HKC 122, 1 HKLR 137 (CA). The plaintiff’s reliance on the statement must be reasonable in order to give rise to a duty: Yuen Kun Yeu v A-G [1988] AC 175, [1987] 2 HKC 25 (PC). The nature of the relationship between the parties, for example its commercial context (Mutual Life and Citizens’ Assurance Co Ltd v Evatt [1971] AC 793, 1 All ER 150 (PC)) or informal nature (Howard Marine and Dredging Co Ltd v A Ogden & Sons (Excavations) Ltd [1978] QB 574, 2 All ER 1134 (CA)), may suggest that reliance is not reasonable. Where the plaintiff’s reliance on a negligent statement leads to foreseeable physical damage, the defendant will be liable provided that there is sufficient proximity and that the imposition of a duty would be fair and reasonable: Marc Rich & Co AG v Bishop Rock Marine Co Ltd [1996] 1 AC 211, sub nom Marc Rich & Co AG v Bishop Rock Marine Co Ltd, The Nicholas H [1995] 3 All ER 307 (HL). See also Detriment; Estoppel; Misrepresentation; Promissory estoppel.
假設由他人作出的陳述,允諾或保證為真確,按照此一狀況採納的若干行動或不行動。如在被告意圖的程況下,被告作出原告(他甚至可能是第三者)合理地依賴的陳述,結果引致原告有損害,則假設可能有足夠引致由倚賴引起的經濟損失的明示或暗示的法律責任:Yue Xiu Finance Company Limited v Dermot Agnew [1996] 2 HKC 122, 1 HKLR 137 (上訴法庭)。原告對陳述的依賴必須合理以產生責任: Yuen Kun Yeu v A-G [1987] 2 HKC 25 (樞密院)。當事人之間的關係的性質,例如商業上的關係 (Mutual Life and Citizens’ Assurance Co Ltd v Evatt [1971] AC 793, 1 All ER 150 (樞密院)) 或非正式的關係(Howard Marine and Dredging Co Ltd v A Ogden & Sons (Excavations) Ltd [1978] QB 574, 2 All ER 1134 (英國上訴法院)),可表示有關的依賴不合理。倘若原告對一項疏忽陳述的倚賴引致可預見的實質損壞,如有足夠的接近度及加諸責任會是公平及合理,則被告會有法律責任: Marc Rich & Co AG v Bishop Rock Marine Co Ltd [1996] 1 AC 211, sub nom Marc Rich & Co AG v Bishop Rock Marine Co Ltd, The Nicholas H [1995] 3 All ER 307(上議院)。另見 Detriment; Estoppel; Misrepresentation; Promissory estoppel。n.
