ACCAF4公司法与商法知识点讲解(4)

ACCA F4《公司法与商法》知识点讲解（4）1 Human Rights ACT 19981.1 The Human Rights Act imposes a duty in "public authorities" to comply with the European Convention on Human Rights, and allows us to take action in the UK courts for violations of Convention rights.1.2 Prior to the Act conventions rights could only be enforced in the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg which could be time consuming, expensive and daunting.1.3 Now that the convention is part of UK law (HRA98) those rights can now be enforced in UK courts.2 The rights (articles)2.1 The main rights are:2.1.1 the right to life (A.2)2.1.2 prohibition of torture (A.3)2.1.3 no slavery or forced labour (A.4)2.1.4 right to liberty and security (A.5)2.1.5 right to a fair trial (A.6)2.1.6 no punishment without law (A.7) (generally therefore criminal offences should not be retrospective)2.1.7 right to respect for privacy, family life (A.8)2.1.8 freedom of thought, conscience and religion (A.9)2.1.9 freedom of expression, assembly and association (A.10/A.11)right to marry (A.12)no discrimination in rights (A.14)right to free elections.(Note that the Articles are set out in full in your Study Text).3 Impact on interpretation of statutes3.1 As a 'public authority' the courts are required to construe legislation so that – as far as possible – it is compatible with the rights contained within the convention and apply existing common law in a manner that is compatible with convention rights. S2 of the Act requires future courts to take account of previous decisions of the ECHR.If reconciliation with an Act of Parliament is not possible the existing legislation prevails although that may trigger a fast track procedure in the Act requiring Parliament to change existing laws. In such circumstances the court issues a declaration of incompatibility, it is then for the legislature to remedy the situation through new legislation. If the fast track procedure is used this gives ministers the power to alter incompatible parts of any primary legislation by way of statutory instrument.If a court cannot reconcile 'delegated' legislation with the convention it can decide that the legislation does not apply.It may no longer be appropriate for the courts to follow some precedents on the interpretation of statutes which pre date the Act. These may now be reviewed in light of the Act.4 Impact on new legislation4.1 Before the Second Reading of the Bill the Minister responsible must make a statement either that the legislation is compatible with Convention rights, or such a statement cannot be made but the government still wants to proceed. Not all of the Articles can be derogated from. Articles 2,3,4,7 and 14 are absolute rights and cannot be interfered with. In exercising the right of derogation however the member state must be both convinced of the need for derogation and that the response is proportionate to any perceived problem.5 Impact on public authorities5.1 Public authorities are Courts and tribunals and any other person whose functions are of a public nature eg Registrar of Companies and government departments such as the DTI.5.2 It is unlawful for public authorities to act in a way which is incompatible with a convention right. A person who considers he has beena victim of an unlawful act by that authority may bring proceedings within12 months of the act occurring.5.3 The court has power to do as it thinks fit.6 European Court of Human Rights (ECHR)6.1 The final source of appeal (after the House of Lords) on human rights issues is the European Court of Human Rights. There is no appeal from the European Court of Human Rights to the European Court of Justice. Decisions of the ECHR must be taken into account when deciding interpretation.NB. Note that new cases on the HRA98 are being decided all the time. The examiner plans to write an article to consider these cases. Keep checking your student accountant for developments.7 Examinability of HRA 98This is an area that the examiner has expressed to be important so be aware of developments that may be referred to in the press.Make sure that you have an appreciation of how HRA 98 may impact on other syllabus areas. For example:。

ACCA F4《公司法与商法》知识点讲解(2)

ACCA F4《公司法与商法》知识点讲解（2）1 Sources of law(a) Common law(b) Equity(c) Statute (legislation) including delegated legislation(d) European Union Law2 Common law and equity2.1 This is a system of law based upon decided cases. Legal rules (initially created by judges when hearing cases) are followed by judges in subsequent like cases.It developed after the Norman Conquest.2.2 Initially only common law rules were derived from cases. The aim of common law was certainty. However various problems within the common law system resulted in the development of another kind of case law called equity. Equity sought to address some of the problems contained in the common law system. Its aim is fairness.2.3 Amongst the common law problems were inadequate remedies, a failure to recognise trusts and a reluctance to allow new causes of action to develop.2.4 At first common law and equity operated as two distinct systems of law with their own independent court and judges. Given that equity is based on fairness however it was eventually decided that in the event of conflict between the two systems equity should prevail.2.5 The two systems have now been merged together. In practice therefore, if you seek a remedy in the courts today, the court will look first to the common law. If the common law can deal with your problem adequately there will be no recourse to equity. If the common law is unable to deal adequately with the problem the court will look to equity.2.6 Equity is therefore referred to as to a supplement to the common law.2.7 The operation of equity is entirely discretionary whereas common law applies automatically.2.8 Maxims:'He who comes to equity must come with clean hands.''Equity does not suffer a wrong to be without a remedy.'。

ACCA F4《公司法与商法》知识点讲解(3)

ACCA F4《公司法与商法》知识点讲解（3）1 Doctrine of judicial precedent1.1 Common law and equity are a body of judge-made laws contained in decisions of the courts called judgements.1.2 Judge – made law or case law is whereby judges follow the decisions of other judges. The doctrine of precedent is sometimes referred to as 'stare decisis': let the decision stand.1.3 For case law to be workable as a source of law it needs to achieve consistency. Various 'rules' have therefore developed to achieve this aim.1.4 ‘Rules’:1.4.1 Only statements of law made by judges can form precedent. In turn these statements must be divided up into ratio decidendi (the reason for the decision) and obiter dicta (other comments).Only the ratio decidendi forms the basis of precedent as it is this reasoning which is vital to his decision. Obiter dicta are statements of general law (or hypothetical situations) which are not necessary for the decision in the case and hence are not binding.1.4.2 As the ratio decidendi of a case stems from specific facts ifa precedent is to be followed in a subsequent case the facts of that case must be sufficiently similar.1.4.3 The precedent must have been set by a court capable of creating precedent and not have been overruled.1.5 Hierarchy of the courts:(a) House of Lords – binds all lower courts but not itself (exceptional cases)(b) Court of Appeal – binds all lower courts and itself(c) High CourtJudge sitting alone – binds all lower courts not divisional courtsJudges sitting together – binds all lower courts and divisional courts(d) CrownMagistrates – bind no-one at allCounty1.6 A precedent ceases to be binding if:(i) It has been overruled by statute or EU law or by a higher court.(ii) It can be distinguished on the facts i.e. if the material facts are not the same.1.7 Advantages:(i) Detail.(ii) Flexibility.(iii) Consistency.(iv) Fairness.1.8 Disadvantages:(i) Bulk.(ii) Restricts judicial discretion.(iii) reactive system.(iv) Lack of democratic accountability.1.9 Persuasive authority:These are decisions (e.g. those of commonwealth countries, inferior courts and obiter dicta) which are not binding but may influence the decisions of judges in future cases.。

[ACCA]F4公司法与商法入门

[ACCA]F4公司法与商法入门F4要点解读会为大家带来合同法(Contract Law)的相关知识。

一个合同的形成，需要4个不可或缺的要素——要约(Offer)、对价(Consideration)、建立法律关系的意愿(Intention to enter into legal relations)和接受(Acceptance)。

第四期的要点解读，将为大家简单讲解第一个要素“邀约”。

一、何谓要约？要约听起来很高大上，实则于我们的日常生活中随处可见。

一个学生最期待可能就是来自某大型企业或知名学府的Offer，指的就是要约了。

要约即“当事人向对方发出的希望与对方订立合同的请求、要求”，像是一种邀请。

大多数情况下，如果对方无条件地接受邀约的内容，合同就成立了。

二、不是所有的“邀请”都是“要约”实际生活中，有很多看起来像要约的邀请，需要我们认清。

1、Supply of information只有接受要约的内容，合同才能成立。

但有一些表达，仅仅是对“合同中可能存在的条款”的描述、预测。

这一类表达仅仅是为合同成立的过程提供额外信息，并无法律上的拘束力。

听起来很抽象吧？以下这个例子会帮助大家弄明白该概念。

【Example】买家A问建材商B：“你可否卖我一些木料呢？请告诉我最低价”。

B回答：“300元/㎡”。

收到此回复后，A以此为offer，表示接受，并直接向B表示要以此价格购买B的木料，。

很长时间以后未得到进一步答复的A将B告上法庭。

【Explanation】这里的“300元/㎡”就是”Supply of information”。

这只是一个可能发生的价格，可能需要达到某些条件才能实现，如一次性大批量购买、签订长期购买的合同等等，而非B真正的邀约，自然不会形成合同，也不会有法律拘束力。

2、A statement of intention仅仅是对成立合同表达意愿，而并未提出offer的实际内容，并不是有效的offer。
