| 单词 | Special contract |
| 释义 | 特別合約 A contract expressed in an instrument under seal (that is, in the form of a deed). A contract so made is effectual in law and binds the company and its successors and all other parties to it (Companies Ordinance (Cap 32) s 2(2); it may be varied or discharged in the same manner in which it is authorised so to be made (s 2(3)). A special contract is enforceable despite the absence of consideration, because it derives its validity from its form alone (Morley v Boothby (1825) 3 Bing 107), except where void, for example as being in restraint of trade, or illegal. Conveyances of land or of any interest in land must be made by deed: Conveyancing and Property Ordinance (Cap 219) ss 4, 6. A contract which is not ‘special’ is referred to as a ‘simple contract’. Whether a contract is a special contract is a question of fact: Lamond v Richards [1897] 1 QB 541; Williams v Linnitt [1951] 1 KB 565. Also known as a ‘contract under seal’. See also Deed; Formal contract; Simple contract; Specialty. Entertainment - An agreement between a person and an innkeeper on terms that are different to those offered to a traveller. The person who enters such a contract acquires the status of a ‘lodger’ as opposed to a ‘guest’ and loses the protection of the innkeeper’s liability: Thompson v Lacy (1820) 3 B & Ald 283. A hotel proprietor as an innkeeper cannot contract out of the common law liability to a guest in the absence of a special contract: Miller v Federal Coffee Palace (1889) 15 VLR 30. 在法律文件上明訂及經蓋章的的合約 （即以契據的形式訂立）。在這情況下訂立的合約在法律上有效，此外對公司及其繼任人及所有其他的參與人有約束力 （《公司條例》（第32章）第2(2)條；可以獲授權訂立的相同的方式更改或撤銷（第2(3)條）。儘管沒有代價，但可強制執行特別合約，因為有關的合約的有效性只源於其形式 (Morley v Boothby (1825) 3 Bing 107)，但無效除外，例如受貿易或非法限制。須藉契據訂立土地或土地任何權益的轉易：《物業轉易及財產條例》(第219) 第4及6條。非「特別」的合約指「簡單」的合約。合約是否屬於特別合約是事實的問題：Lamond v Richards [1897] 1 QB 541; Williams v Linnitt [1951] 1 KB 565。另稱「經蓋章的合約」。另見 Deed; Formal contract; Simple contract; Specialty。 款待 - 一人和旅店經營人之間訂立的協議的條款，與旅遊人士和旅店經營人之間訂立的不同。訂立此類合約的人取得「寄宿者」的身份，而非「賓客」的身份，因此喪失受旅店經營人保障的法律責任：Thompson v Lacy (1820) 3 B & Ald 283。作為旅店經營人的酒店東主不可在沒有特別合約的情況下，將普通法對賓客的法律責任包出：Miller v Federal Coffee Palace (1889) 15 VLR 30。 |
