部分合伙人擅自处分共有船舶的行为定性与责任承担

船舶个人合伙经营中止后尚未清算,部分合伙人擅自处分共有船舶的行为既违反《中华人民共和国民法通则》第34条有关合伙事务执行的规定,也违反《中华人民共和国物权法》第97条有关共有物处分的规定,侵害了其他合伙人的财产权益,已经构成共同侵权,理应承担相应侵权责任。在《中华人民共和国民法通则》就合伙人在个人合伙清算前能否分割部分合伙财产问题未作明文规定的前提下,受害人依据《中华人民共和国侵权责任法》的有关规定要求加害人先行返还卖船款的诉求理应得到支持,至于合伙清算事宜则可留待另案处理。

The characterization and responsibility of unauthorized disposition of the jointly-owned ship by certain partners

In the case that the ship’s individual partnership has not been liquidated after the cessation,the unauthorized disposition of the ship totally owned is in contravention of article 34 of General Principles of the Civil Law of the People’s Republic of China on the implementation of the partnership affairs as well as article 97 of Real Right Law of the People’s Republic of China,this behavior infringes the property rights and interests of other partners constituting a joint tort and those partners should bear tort liability.Under the condition that the General Principles of the Civil Law of the People’s Republic of China does not expressly stipulate whether part of the partnership property can be split before the liquidation of the individual partnership,the claim for return of ship’s price should be supported by relevant provisions of Tort Liability Law of the People’s Republic of China,the partnership liquidation can be left to be dealt with separately.
