Agency - A person who is neither a principal nor agent. The third party is usually the person brought into a legal relationship with the principal by the agent. Also referred to as ‘third person’, ‘outside party’ or ‘stranger’: Hely-Hutchinson v Brayhead Ltd [1968] 1 QB 549. See also Agency; Agent; Principal.
Contract - A person who is not a party to a contract. Generally, according to the doctrine of privity of contract, only the parties to a contract are bound by and entitled to enforce its terms (Manchu Gems Ltd & JP Knight Co v Pan American World Airways Inc [1979] HKLR 109), although a contract between parties to the contract can indirectly affect the legal rights of a third party: Hirachand Punamchand v Temple [1911] 2 KB 330 (CA). The benefit of a contractual promise may be held in trust for a third party where the contract cannot be voided or rescinded without the third party’s consent: Les Affréteurs Réunis SA v Leopold Walford (London) Ltd [1919] AC 801. See also Compulsory third party insurance; Privity of contract.

合約 - 非締約方的人。概括而言，根據合約參與關係的原則，僅有締約方受合約的條款約束，及有權強制執行該條款（Manchu Gems Ltd & JP Knight Co v Pan American World Airways Inc [1979] HKLR 109），但締約方之間訂立的合約可間接地影響某第三者的法律權利：Hirachand Punamchand v Temple [1911] 2 KB 330（英國上訴法院）。凡合約不可在沒有某第三者同意下使無效或撤銷，該合約承諾的利益可以信託形式為該第三者持有：Les Affréteurs Réunis SA v Leopold Walford (London) Ltd [1919] AC 801。另見 Compulsory third party insurance; Privity of contract。 |
