从比较法的角度看我国惩罚性赔偿制度的必要性

惩罚性赔偿金是英美法上的一项重要制度，具有损害填补、惩罚被告的作用，而德、法等大陆法系国家奉行单纯的补偿性民事责任制度，排斥对于惩罚性赔偿金合法性的认同。我国最早在《消费者权益保护》第49条对其加以规定，取得较好的社会效果，然而2009年颁布的《侵权责任法》并未将惩罚性赔偿原则写入总则，而是局限于产品责任之中。因此，完善惩罚性赔偿金制度有其必要性，通过对惩罚性赔偿制度的介绍以及英美法规定的研习，对我国惩罚性赔偿制度提出建议。

On the Necessity of Compensation of Punitive Damages

Punitive damages in Anglo-American law is an important system, with the role of filling damage and punishing the defendant. However, continental law system country like Germany and France pursues pure compensatory civil liability system for punitive damages, rejects the legality of identity. It was first provided in the consumers＇ rights and interests protection article 49 in our country, achieved good social effect. The Tort Liability Law promulgated in 2009 did not include punitive compensation into the General, but is confined to general products liability. Therefore, it is necessary to perfect the system of punitive damages, through the introduction of punitive compensation system and studying Anglo-American law, we can give suggestion for our country punitive compensation system.
