Abstract: Pure economic loss refers to situations in which the plaintiff has suffered neither personal injury nor damage to tangible property, but the loss of general financial interest caused directly by wrongdoing. The recoverability of pure economic loss is widely argued all along the history. Noliability rule is accepted commonly as the general principle with some exceptions. Contract law and tort law are main methods available for recovery of pure economic loss; besides, creating some case models also play an important role. China necessarily strengthens its research on pure economic and relevant legislations.

Key words: recoverability, Contract Law, Tort Law, creating Some Case Models, pure Economic Loss
