法律英语讲座之8+侵权行为法(上)

法律英语讲座之8+侵权行为法(上)

今天我们要介绍的法律英语内容可能是与各位读者的生活最为息息相关的——侵权行为法(Tort Law)的内容。

1人们在日常生活中总是要碰到各种各样的利益纠纷,最常见的就是“侵权行为”一类的法律问题。

那么下面我们就来看看英美法系中一些重要的侵权法方面的概念以及它们的表达方式。

(一)历史渊源The history of Anglo-American tort law can be traced back to the action for trespass to property or tothe person.英美侵权行为法的历史可追溯到侵害财产权或者侵害人身权之诉。

Trespass to property or to the person,可以说是侵权法上最重要也是最基本的概念,它告诉我们侵权法的基本分类:对人身(tort against person)和对财产(tort against property)的侵犯这两类。

所以聪明的读者可能已经了解笔者接下去介绍的思路了吧。

在转入正题之前,笔者觉得有义务向大家介绍一下几个容易混淆的法律名词:Crime & Tort相信大家都能理解crime (犯罪)和tort(侵权)同属于wrong (不法行为)一个大类之下,但它们的区别如何呢?请看例句的解释——A crime is an act so reprehensible that it is considered a wrong against society and state as a whole, aswell as against the individual victim.犯罪是一种不仅危害受害者个人而且危害整个国家和社会的应受严厉谴责的行为。

Simply stated, a tort is a wrong. It is a private wrong (civil as opposed to criminal) resulting from abreach of a legal duty derived from society's expectations regarding proper and improper interpersonalconduct.A tort is any socially unreasonable conduct, which is not contractual, for which a court will grantmonetary damages or an equitable remedy to compensate an individual for his/her injury. The rights andduties involved in a tort case may arise from either statute or common law.A crime is an offense against the public, and criminal law does not seek to compensate the victim. Tortincludes both deliberate wrongs (intentional torts) and inadvertent or accidental wrongs (negligent torts),as well as wrongs for which the offender is held liable regardless of motivation or ability to prevent the injury(strict liability). Tort law is perhaps the broadest and most volatile area of civil law.简单来讲,侵权就是不法行为。

法律英语——Law of Torts

法律英语——Law of Torts

一.介绍侵权法概念侵权法是一个很难表述的概念,这个词语在平日交流中不常使用。

虽然它描述了一项法律中的重要分类,这个概念也已经否定了很多试图阐明出有用定义的尝试。

令人困惑的是任何一种广泛到能包含所有侵权行为的定义都太过于笼统而几乎没有意义。

所有侵权法中有一项常见的元素是一方会由于另一方实施的行为或不作为所产生的后果而受到损失或伤害。

除此以外,加速普遍化变成了不可能的任务。

事实上所有无限的多样的人类活动——比如说骑车,从事生意,谈话,写作,拥有并且使用真的或者个人财产,性行为——都有可能成为一种侵权行为的赔偿责任来源。

这种行为的多样性抵抗住了大面积的普遍性,这也是侵权行为的赔偿责任所赖以存在的基础。

如果对侵权的定义是必要的,它就会具有以下的性质:民事违法行为,一方的行为会对另一方造成人身财产伤害,或者是认识到另一方的利益想违背法律强制规定的责任。

明显地,侵权法是一块认识到并赔偿对受害人从身体,尊严和隐私的伤害到所拥有的财产和生意上的利益损失的法律领域。

侵权是一种民事违法行为——是遭受损失方(或者是共同起诉的多方)控告罪犯(侵权行为人)来使损害得到补偿或者是寻求一种禁令阻止伤害和民事违法行为的继续。

受害方必须证明侵权行为人犯罪。

侵权中的义务被强制当作法律遵行。

侵权法发作用,目的与正当理由侵权法有三个主要作用和目标:(1)补偿受害方因为另一方的行为而蒙受的损失与伤害。

(2)置入应赔偿人的所应补偿的金额。

(3)防止未来的损失和伤害。

1.补偿侵权行为中受害的一方所遭受的伤害和损失我们应该称之为“损害”。

侵权法是基于所有损失,无论是有形的还是无形的都能够用金钱衡量的基础上的。

最基本的侵权赔偿是要求侵权行为人来支付受害者一笔“有补偿的破坏”。

2.公正(1)公平从根本上,公正是当今对公平的社会标准的应用的结果。

(2)现实原因因果关系,众所周知,是必要条件。

侵权责任仅仅是指行为人的行为是一个为被害人带来损失和伤害的实质的事实。

Unit  9.Law of Tort 法律英语
(4)无过失责任
有一些行为人的行为事实上是导致其他人受到伤害,并且所有通常过失条件都满足的案件,但是由于社会政策的原因,不存在侵权赔偿责任。
(5)原告过失与赞成?
当受害者已经同意面对潜在的危险或者由于他自己的过失导致自己的伤害时,他的侵权赔偿金可能会减少或者被拒绝。如果真的同意或者对于危险的知晓和自愿,拒绝所有的赔偿金可能是对的。
如果对侵权的定义是必要的,它就会具有以下的性质:民事违法行为,一方的行为会对另一方造成可补偿的人身财产伤害,或者是认识到另一方的利益想违背法律强制规定的责任。
明显地,侵权法是一块认识到并赔偿对受害人从身体,尊严和隐私的伤害到所拥有的财产和生意上的利益损失的法律领域。侵权是一种民事违法行为——是遭受损失方(或者是共同起诉的多方)控告违法者(侵权行为人)来使损害得到补偿或者是寻求一种禁令阻止伤害和民事违法行为的继续。受害方必须证明侵权行为人犯罪。侵权中的义务被强制当作法律遵行。
“若非”标准对原告被两个连续行为或事件影响非常有帮助。这类情形中存在一系列的事件,就原告所受到的损害而言,该系列中的每一个行为都是与之相关的,所以法院必须确定是哪个原因起了作用。一种方法是静观是否不久后的事件会加重对原告的伤害,如果不是,那么引起最初伤害的人将受罚。
(3)介入原因
有时候,一些打破因果关系之间的联系的东西能在被告的行为和原告的伤害之间发生,那么被告可以不再被认定是对原告有责任的。一个介入行为要构成介入原因,则其必须属于非法行为类。
(3)预防措施的可行性
避免代价的代价在谨慎的标准中也是一个重要的因素。被告不希望在避免小危险时花费大量金钱。
(4)普遍认可的惯例
如果被告表现与普遍认可的惯例相一致,那这将是一个强有力的证据表明他不是粗心大意的。然而,这不是结论性的,被告仍可能是粗心大意的即使他的表现与普遍认可的惯例相一致。有观点主张,如果某一普遍认可的行为构成“明显的愚蠢行为”,就不应该遵循。

判例为主,各州侵权法之间略有差异,判例的汇编、解释可参考 《侵权法重述》(Restatement of the Law of Torts)
各州和联邦也有为解决特别侵权问题而制定的成文法,比如1946 年的《联邦侵权索赔法》(Federal Tort Claims Act)
殴打与威吓 Battery&Assault Assault:日常中作“袭击”,军事领域特指“突击”,在法律英 语中译为“威吓”,即“故意引发他人因合理的警觉到即将发生的 Battery行为而产生的恐惧”。威吓是殴打的前兆,是原告基于合理 判断,对即将到来的“殴打”行为的恐惧和警觉(apprehension)。 Assault is the tort of acting intentionally and voluntarily causing the reasonable apprehension of an immediate harmful or offensive contact. There must be some act short of actually striking the other person. Actual ability to carry out the apprehended contact is not necessary: an assault can take place with a toy gun, fsent is not a defense, it is an element and therefore P has the burden to show he did not expressly or impliedly consent for implied consent a reasonable person std is used (would a reasonable person have interpreted P’s actions to mean the contact was consented) consent can be inferred from social custom (playing tag) Attention: 1.后果不是构成要件,例如强吻原告也可以构成“殴打”。 2.一并保护人格权与人身权,因此原告身体的范围泛化到与原告人身相联系的任 何物品,例如强夺他人戴头上之帽亦构成“殴打”。 3.冒犯性不是当事人的心理状态,而是由陪审团通过被告的行为对其所表现出的 意图进行客观的认定。
