论纯经济损失的侵权责任--从欧洲比较法展开

欧洲各国对纯经济损失的赔偿并不存在一个统一的方法,而是根据不同的侵权法规范模式分为不同的阵营.大部分国家所采用的纯经济损失不赔原则,并没有令人信服的理论依据为支撑,且其形成只是概念主义造就的一起历史事故,实践中必然产生不合理的结果.基于比较法以及法学方法论的考量,笔者主张在解决纯经济损失问题时,应摆脱抽象概念的桎梏,更多地借用"规定功能的法概念"、类型化以及法律经济学的研究方法.

Tort Liability For Pure Economic Loss: Based On European Comparative Law

The question of the recoverability of pure economic loss is a generic question for all legal systems in Europe. Methodologically speaking, the tort scene strikes us as diverse and unsettled. Unlike most other issues in the field of torts, the different approaches do not follow the familiar common law/civil law divide. In most countries, a plaintiff can not recover damages for a pure economic loss. The comparative study reveals that the rule against recovery has not a rational basis and was the result of more than one historical accident, which is typical of the conceptualism of nineteenth century. Based on comparative law and legal methodology, this author thinks that the solution should be freed from the conceptualism, putting a high premium on more legal methods such as typology and economic analysis.
