国际惯例的若干问题研究——兼议国际惯例在我国民法典中的立法问题

从世界各国的实践来看,国际惯例主要是通过当事人选择而得到适用,也有少数国家法律规定可以强制适用。我国民法通则和民法典草案中对国际惯例的适用问题均有规定,但存在不足。我国立法应从国际惯例本身的性质来对国际惯例在国内的适用作出规定,确立国际惯例在民法典中的地位。

诈骗罪中的财产损害

诈骗罪是事关财产的犯罪,诈骗罪的成立应当要求被害人具有财产损失,即在未遂的情况下,要求欺骗行为具有造成被害人财产损失的危险性;在既遂的情况下,则要求诈骗行为造成被害人现实的财产损失。整体财产减少说、形式性个别财产减少说以及折中说均有不足之处,因此,诈骗罪中的财产损害应当以实质性个别财产减少为基准进行判断,即综合处分行为前后财产的价值,在此基础上,以处分后的财产是否受到损失为基准进行判断。另外,相应给付,欺诈性乞讨、募捐,欺诈性权利行使均可以成立诈骗罪。

Walls of secrecy and silence

Research Summary Most analysts of the causes of the contemporary credit crunch have concluded that the supervising agencies failed in their duties. The same is true for studies of several major fraud scandals, including the Madoff affair and the Dutch construction fraud. The remedy seems immediately obvious: more and better regulation and supervision. However, this line of reasoning seems somewhat simplistic by ignoring the question of how illegal activities can remain hidden for many years from supervising agencies, victims, and bystanders. This research article argues that the problem also lies in the successful concealment of illegal activities by the perpetrators and in the presence of silence in their social environment. Policy Implications The cases analyzed in this article suggest that financial misconduct also could be controlled by breaking the conspiracies of silence. The strengthening of supervision is unlikely to be effective without simultaneous efforts to encourage people to speak out and to give them incentives to want to know and to tell the truth.     

合同诈骗与合同纠纷的界分

合同诈骗与合同纠纷具有一定的相似性,在司法实践中,可以通过对行为人侵犯的权利和违反的义务,对合同标的履行态度,签订和履行合同时的资格以及行为人主观目的的比较来界定行为的属性。     

论金融诈骗罪的客观构成形态

金融诈骗罪在立法上究竟是以结果犯为模式还是以行为犯为模式,学界存在着激烈的争论.越来越多的学者主张采用"抽象的危险构成要件"立法技术,但"危险犯概念是一个危险的概念",需慎用.还有学者认为使用预备犯理论完全可以实现相同效果,但预备犯是一个比抽象危险犯更加"危险"的概念,这种观点看似务实,却不可行.基于对金融诈骗罪法益的重新定位,本类罪立法应当维持结果犯的模式.     

合同诈骗罪的主体要件探讨

我国1997年刑法增设了合同诈骗罪,其目的是适应社会主义市场经济发展和司法实践中遏制这类犯罪的需要,是加强对合同诈骗的打击力度的需要。文章从合同诈骗罪与普通诈骗罪的法条竞合关系的适用等方面进行探讨,认为打击合同诈骗罪应从合同诈骗罪的主体构成要件上加以限定,从立法上加以完善。     

Uncovering the Iceberg: Mandating the measurement of fraud in the United Kingdom

Having regard to the impact of the credit crunch on fraud, the 19% average cuts in public spending and the wide disparities in fraud loss data, this article will argue for the mandating of fraud measurement through the introduction of legislation in the United Kingdom. The proposed statute applies to both the public and private sectors and incorporates minimum standards of measurement accuracy and the publication of findings and subsequent reduction strategies. In support of this contention this paper offers empirical evidence provided by the United States (US) Improper Payments Information Act of 2002. Further options for change are also presented including developing the role of the National Audit Office and the creation of an infrastructure for knowledge management through the sharing of best practice.
