| 单词 | Express contract or convention |
| 释义 | 明訂的合約或公約 A contract or agreement expressed in words or by signs that custom or usage has made equivalent to word. A contract is an express one if an actual promise has been made, parties’ rights have to be measured by the express contract and no implied contract can be relied by them if they have acted in accordance with the express contract. In certain defined circumstances where a person is required by law, common law or statute, to disclose confidential information, any express contract to the contrary that he or she has entered will be held to be void and illegal: Ernst & Young (A Firm) v The Hong Kong Society of Accountants (A Body Corporate) (HCAL 139/99, unreported). See also Convention; Express term. 藉文字或簽署明訂的合約或協議，即習俗或慣例經已用相對的文字訂定。如已作出實際的承諾，則合約屬明訂的合約；如各方已根據明訂的合約行事，則應以明訂的合約計算各方的權利，而各方不可倚賴隱含的合約。在若干確定的情況下，如法律、普通法或法規規定某人披露保密的資料，則任何該人已訂立的相反明訂合約會被裁定為無效及非法：Ernst & Young (A Firm) v The Hong Kong Society of Accountants (A Body Corporate) （高院憲法及行政訴訟1999年第139號，未經彙報）。另見 Convention; Express term。 |
