The Disgorgement of Profits under CISG

  • Online:2018-05-15 Published:2018-05-15

摘要: CISG是国际货物销售合同法领域的重要公约。为了调整国际货物销售合同领域的纠纷,CISG构建了一套以违约损害赔偿为基础,以返还和具体履行为补充的违约救济体系。尽管这套救济体系在绝大多数情形下均颇为有效,但对于特定类型的案件却显得有所不足,尤其是当守约方遭受的损害难以证明,且违约方又通过恶意违约而获益时。违约获益追缴制度的引入有助于弥补公约的相应不足。尽管两大法系就违约获益追缴制度尚存在不同认识,但这并不妨碍公约的解释与适用。CISG视角下违约获益追缴制度有两种潜在的实施路径:其一,将违约获益作为损害计算的基准和考虑因素;其二,基于诚信原则引入违约获益追缴,并视之为独立的违约救济方式。

Abstract: CISG is an important convention in the contract law of international sale of goods. To properly settle disputes, CISG has established a remedial mechanism, which consists of compensatory damages, specific performance and restitution. Although such a mechanism proves to be highly competent in a vast majority of cases, it indeed has some shortcomings under certain circumstances, especially when the observant party can hardly prove its loss and the default party benefits from a malicious breach of contract. The introduction of disgorgement of profits is necessary in that it can offset the weaknesses of CISG. Despite different understandings over disgorgement of profits, they will not affect the proper interpretation and application of CISG. From CISG’s perspective, there are two potential approaches to applying disgorgement of profits, namely, regarding disgorgement of profits as an alternative way of damages calculation, or as a new type of remedy based on the good faith principle.
