| 单词 | Fusion fallacy |
| 释义 | 合併之謬誤 The mistaken view that the rules of common law and equity have been amalgamated, rather than merely that their administration was amalgamated, following the (UK) Judicature Act 1873. Under this view equity has lost its identity as an independent body of legal principle, and a new body containing both equity and common law has been created. In reality, the priority given to equity over the common law in the event of conflict merely reflects the control which the Court of Chancery and its modern equivalents have always exercised over courts of law. The process of fusion involved the administration of law and equity but did not effect a merger of the two bodies of principle: Salt v Cooper (1880) 16 Ch D 544, 50 LJ Ch 529 (CA). The fusion fallacy has given rise to arguments, for example that defences available to a cause of action at common law are available to an equitable action. See also Common law; Court of Chancery; Equity. 認為自英國《1873年司法法》後，普通法與衡平法的規則（而非純粹其管理而言）已經合併的錯誤看法。根據此謬誤，衡平法經已喪失其作為獨立法律原則體系的本質，斷而產生一個包含衡平法及普通法的新的法律體系。事實上，在有衝突時給予衡平法優先於普通法的做法，僅反映衡平法法院及其現時相等機構具有的控制權總是是在法律法院之上行使的。融合的過程涉及法律和衡平法的管理，但沒有令該兩個法律原則體系合併的影響：Salt v Cooper (1880) 16 Ch D 544, 50 LJ Ch 529（芵國上訴法院）。合併之謬誤引起若干爭議，例如在普通法就訴訟因由可供使用的的免責辯護是否同樣在衡平法的訴訟可供使用。另見 Common law; Court of Chancery; Equity。 |
