| 单词 | Indivisible contract |
| 释义 | 不可分割的合約 A contract that requires entire performance. Contracts are indivisible or entire when the consideration is one and entire; that is where, on the proper construction of the contract, no consideration is to pass from one party unless and until the whole of the obligations of the other party have been performed: Vigers v Cook [1919] 2 KB 475 (CA). Thus a party who has not completely performed cannot demand performance by the other party: Eshelby v Federated European Bank [1932] 1 KB 254, 1 KB 423 (CA). A contract providing for certain obligations being entire would relieve an innocent party of all liability to pay the party in breach and does not necessarily attract the rule against penalties: Cutter v Powell [1795] 6 Term Rep 320. Whether an obligation is entire or severable is a matter of construction. Once the court finds that the obligation is entire, then there is no compensation at all unless the obligation is completely performed: Betty Ho Hong Kong Contract Law (1994) p 375. Also known as ‘entire contract’ or ‘entire obligation’. See also Divisible contract; Exact performance. 需要全部履行的合約。凡有一項全部代價，則該合約屬不可分割合約；即如對合約予以適當解釋後，並無代價由另一方轉移予該方，但如另一方已履行全部義務，則屬例外）：Vigers v Cook [1919] 2 KB 475（英國上訴法院）。因此未完全履行的一方不可要求另一方履行：Eshelby v Federated European Bank [1932] 1 KB 254, 1 KB 423（英國上訴法院）。。規定某些義務屬全部義務的合約會免除不知情的一方須償付違約一方的所有責任，亦未必會引起針對刑罰的規則的應用：Cutter v Powell [1795] 6 Term Rep 320。某項義務屬全部或可分割的義務是解釋上的問題。一旦法院判定某項義務為全部義務，則不會有任何補償，但如已全部履行有關義務，則屬例外：Betty Ho Hong Kong Contract Law(1994) p 375。另稱「全部合約」或「全部義務」。另見 Divisible contract; Exact performance。 |
