| 释义 | 承兌／接受 The act of assenting to, agreeing; receiving or taking something offered. Bills of exchange - The signification by a drawee of assent to the order of a drawer, requiring the drawee to sign the bill and an expression that the drawee’s promise will be performed only by money payment: Bills of Exchange Ordinance (Cap 19) s 17(1), (2). A drawee is not liable until acceptance: s 53. Only the drawee can accept: Steele v M’Kinlay (1880) 5 App Cas 754; Maxform SpA v Mariani & Goodville Ltd [1979] 2 Lloyd’s Rep 385 (CA). However, in an instrument addressed to no drawee, a person who signs as if accepting the bill can be sued as on a promissory note: Mason v Lack (1929) 140 LT 696. See also Assent by the drawee; Bill of exchange; General acceptance; Local acceptance; Partial acceptance; Qualified acceptance; Signification. Contract - An acceptance of an offer is an indication, express or implied, by the offeree made whilst the offer remains open and in the manner requested in that offer of the offeree’s willingness to be bound unconditionally to a contract with the offeror on the terms stated in the offer: Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, Vol 7, Contract [115.045]. See also Agreement; Contract; Offer. 贊成、同意的行為；接受或收取提供的物事。 匯票 - 受票人表示同意按出票人的命令付款，但需受票人在匯票上簽名，並明示須以付款方式履行其承諾：《匯票條例》（第19章）第17(1)、(2)條。直至作出承兌為止，受票人不須就該匯票承擔任何法律責任：第53條。只有受票人方可作出承兌：Steel v M’Kinlay (1880) 5 App Cas 754；Maxform SpA v Mariani & Goodville Ltd [1979] 2 Lloyd’s Rep 385（英國上訴法院）。但若在沒有受票人的文書上簽名，猶如接受匯票一樣，簽名的人可如作出借據一樣被追討：Mason v Lack (1929) 140 LT 696。另見 Assent by the drawee; Bill of exchange; General acceptance; Local acceptance; Partial acceptance; Qualified acceptance; Signification。 合約 - 接受一項要約，即是受要約人在要約有效期及以要約要求的方式顯示（不論是明示或默示）其願意無條件按要約的條件受合約所約束：Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, 第7冊，合約，第[115.045]段。另見 Agreement; Contract; Offer。n. |
