| 单词 | Foreign currency |
| 释义 | 外幣 Any currency other than Hong Kong currency: Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance (Cap 1) s 3. A Hong Kong company could have a share capital measured by a foreign currency and consequently shares fixed in amount by reference to a foreign currency. There was nothing in the Companies Ordinance (Cap 32) s 5(4) to prevent a company from issuing shares of a fixed amount in a foreign currency: Re Scandinavian Bank Group plc [1988] Ch 87; Re BOCI Research Ltd & Ors [2000] 1 HKLRD 194. The court has a general discretion to give judgment in a foreign currency. As a general rule, in contractual cases where the proper law of the contract is the court’s own law, judgment should be in the currency, if any, which the parties have chosen themselves, bearing in mind that the choice of a currency for accounting purposes does not necessarily mean that the parties intend damages for breach to be paid in the same currency. The court may exercise its discretion to depart from the chosen currency where an injustice would otherwise result: Sabah Shipbuilding, Repairing and Engineering Sdn Bhd Chung Wah Shipbuilding and Engineering Co Ltd v Housing Engineering and Equipment Ltd [1978] HKLR 550 (HC). See Currency; Proper law of contract. 指香港貨幣以外的任何貨幣：《釋義及通則條例》（第1章）第3條。任何香港公司可持有以外幣衡量的股本，因此股份的固定款額按外幣而訂定。《公司條例（第32章）》第5(4)條並沒有妨礙任何公司發行以外幣為單位的固定款額股份：Re Scandinavian Bank Group Plc [1988] Ch 87; Re BOCI Research Ltd &Ors [2000] 1 HKLRD 194。法庭具有以外幣為單位作出判決的一般酌情決定權。就合約法而言，如合約的適用法律是有關法庭本身的法律，則一般的規則是判決必須以各方已自行選擇的貨幣（如有的話）作出，並須顧及因會計目的的而選擇的貨幣無需表示各方打算以相同的貨幣繳付違反的損壞賠償。如在其他情況下會引致不公正的情況發生，則法庭可行使其酌情決定權以其他貨幣作出判決：Sabah Shipbuilding, Repairing and Engineering Sdn Bhd Chung Wah Shipbuilding and Engineering Co Ltd v Housing Engineering and Equipment Ltd [1978] HKLR 550（高等法院）。另見 Currency; Proper law of contract。 |
