| 单词 | Flight v Booth, rule in |
| 释义 | Flight訴Booth之原則 A rule applying to contracts for the sale of land. Where, owing to a misdescription of the extent and quality of the property, the vendor fails to perform his duty, and the misdescription, although not proceeding from fraud, is material and substantial, affecting the subject matter of the contract to such an extent that it may reasonably be supposed that, but for the misdescription, the purchaser might never have entered into the contract at all, the contract may be avoided altogether. The purchaser is not bound to resort to any ‘error or misdescription’ compensation clause in the contract: Flight v Booth (1834) 1 Bing NC 370; 131 ER 1160; Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong (2001 Reissue), Vol 16, Land [230.0182]. This rule is followed in Hong Kong: for example Goldful Way Development Ltd v Wellstable Development Ltd [1998] 4 HKC 679, [1999] 1 HKLRD 563 (unauthorised structure being part and parcel of the property); Green Park Properties Ltd v Dorku Ltd [2000] 2 HKLRD 400. See also Contract for Sale of Land; Exclusion clause; Sale of Land. 適用於土地售賣合約的原則。凡因錯誤說明財產的範圍及質量，賣方因此沒有履行其責任，儘管有關的錯誤說明並非出自欺詐，但對合約項下之標的物卻具有關鍵性及實質的影響，即可合理地假定：若非該等錯誤說明，買方可能根本不會簽訂有關的合約，在此等情況下，合約可能完全無效。買方無須訴諸合約項下之「錯誤或錯誤說明」的賠償條款：Flight v Booth (1834) 1 Bing NC 370； 131 ER 1160; Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong （2001年 再發行），第16冊，土地，第[230.0182]段。香港依循此等原則獲：例如Goldful Way Development Ltd v Wellstable Development Ltd [1998] 4 HKC 679, [1999] 1 HKLRD 563（高等法院原訴庭）（作為有關財產一部分的未經許可的構築物）；Green Park Properties Ltd v Dorku Ltd [2000] 2 HKLRD 400。另見 Contract for Sale of Land; Exclusion clause; Sale of Land。 |
