英美合同侵權(quán)法

前言

　　隨著全球經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化的發(fā)展以及法律在我國(guó)地位的不斷提升，法律英語(yǔ)的學(xué)習(xí)成為我國(guó)法科學(xué)生的必修課以及大多數(shù)綜合性大學(xué)學(xué)生的選修課。法律英語(yǔ)應(yīng)包括兩個(gè)層面：一是以英語(yǔ)表達(dá)的外國(guó)法，主要以英美法為主；二是以英語(yǔ)表達(dá)的中國(guó)法，主要包括中國(guó)法條英譯以及中國(guó)法律概念、法律文獻(xiàn)的英譯等。而要做到能夠準(zhǔn)確將我國(guó)的法條與法律文獻(xiàn)翻譯成英語(yǔ)，首先必須了解在英美法系和其他英語(yǔ)國(guó)家是否有類(lèi)似的法律概念以及這些概念是否有約定俗成的表達(dá)方法，否則即便把我國(guó)的法律概念翻譯成英文也可能牛頭不對(duì)馬嘴。因此，學(xué)習(xí)英美法是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生將我國(guó)法律準(zhǔn)確翻譯成英文的能力的基礎(chǔ)?！　∫话愣?，學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)要同時(shí)注重聽(tīng)說(shuō)讀寫(xiě)，學(xué)習(xí)法律英語(yǔ)也是如此。　　以前網(wǎng)絡(luò)不發(fā)達(dá)，尋找原版聽(tīng)力材料比較困難，只能依靠國(guó)內(nèi)的有聲出版物或者電臺(tái)。而有聲出版物大多經(jīng)過(guò)編輯，可能失去原汁原味；收聽(tīng)電臺(tái)也有很多不便，諸如信號(hào)問(wèn)題以及時(shí)間問(wèn)題?，F(xiàn)在我們處于網(wǎng)絡(luò)時(shí)代，通過(guò)網(wǎng)絡(luò)很容易找到各種音頻和視頻資料，英美國(guó)家的有些法院也把庭審資料放到官方網(wǎng)站。因此，我們有條件聽(tīng)到未經(jīng)編刪的原版資料，“聽(tīng)”的資源問(wèn)題比較容易解決，只要我們堅(jiān)持不懈就能夠提高法律英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)中的聽(tīng)力能力。另外，通過(guò)參加法律英語(yǔ)課的學(xué)習(xí)，在課堂上一直聽(tīng)老師和同學(xué)們用英語(yǔ)討論法律問(wèn)題，這本身也是提高聽(tīng)力的一個(gè)好辦法?！　　?/pre>


內(nèi)容概要
　　本書(shū)主要介紹英美法中的合同法和侵權(quán)法。針對(duì)每一部門(mén)法的特點(diǎn)，分別討論合同的成立、履行與抗辯，以及故意侵權(quán)、過(guò)失侵權(quán)以及嚴(yán)格責(zé)任侵權(quán)等方面。除了討論實(shí)體法內(nèi)容，本書(shū)還從案例閱讀與分析的角度引導(dǎo)讀者深入學(xué)習(xí)英美法的精髓。本書(shū)的特點(diǎn)之一是英文語(yǔ)言精確，并輔以適當(dāng)?shù)闹形慕忉尯徒榻B；二是適應(yīng)的讀者群比較廣泛，既可以用作法科學(xué)生的法律英語(yǔ)課程教材，也可以作為法科學(xué)生的英美法或比較法全英文課程的教材，還可以為其他對(duì)英美法感興趣的讀者提供全面的英美合同法與侵權(quán)法的知識(shí)。本書(shū)資料來(lái)源豐富，既有國(guó)外原版著作和判例，也包括國(guó)內(nèi)學(xué)者的觀點(diǎn)。

章節(jié)摘錄
版權(quán)頁(yè)：   2.Mistake Mistake is a belief that is not in accord with the facts.A contract is not enforceable if it is formed based on a mistake which results from an ambiguity in the negotiation of the contract,or where there was a mistake as to a material fact which induced the making of the contract.Thus mistake is one of the defenses the defendant may use in a breach of contract litigation to relieve his contractual obligations.Here the mistake does not mean ignorance,inability,bad bargain,or bad judgment.For instance,if in negotiating a contract,the parties used language which is susceptible to more than one interpretation,and one party honestly draws one interpretation while the other party draws another,then the courts will usually hold that no contract resulted since there was no meeting of the minds or mutual agreement. A mistake can occur at the time of formation,integration,or performance.A mistake may be mutual or unilateral.If both parties were under a misunderstanding as to the existence or nonexistence of the material fact,this is known as a mutual mistake and it is grounds for rescission of the contract.Where the mistake is unilateral in that it is made by only one of the parties,the contract may or may not be enforced.If one of the parties realizes that the other person is operating under a mistaken belief and seeks to take advantage of the error,relief will be granted.While negligence on the part of the party making the mistake usually will not justify the granting of relief,it will be granted where the negligence was slight,where enforcement would impose an unwarranted hardship on the person who made the mistake,and where relief would not impose a material loss on the other party.
