| 单词 | Divisible contract |
| 释义 | 可分劃合約 A contract that involves several distinct performances. The performances of a divisible contract, which is also known as severable contract, are independent from each other. The performances of different contracts may be treated as indivisible thus a single contract: Chevalier (HK) Ltd v Chinluck Ltd (HCA 12692/97, unreported). Under a divisible contract, a party is allowed to demand performances of the other without performing his own as the promises of each party to the contract are independent of each other. A normal presumption is in favour of entire contract, as to whether the contract is divisible depends on the parties’ intention as well as the inference drawn from the circumstances. Divisible contracts are distinguishable from ‘entire’ or ‘indivisible contracts’. See also Bankrupt; Divisible property. 涉及多個獨立履行部分的合約。另稱可分割合約的可分劃合約的履行是各別獨立的。不同合約的履行可被視為不可分割，因而單一合約：Chevalier (HK) Ltd v Chinluck Ltd（高院民事訴訟1997年第12692號，未經彙報）。根據可分劃合約，鑒於各方在合約上的承諾是互相獨立的，因而一方可獲准予在沒有履行其部分的情況下，要求另一方履行其部分。一般的推定是合約為不可分的整體合約，而合約是否可分劃則取決於合約各方的意願，及根據有關情況所作的推論而定。可分劃合約與「整體合約」或「不可分劃合約」有別。另見 Bankrupt; Divisible property。 |
