CISG的预期违约及对《民法典》预期违约的启示

The Expected Breach of CISG and Its Enlightenment to China’s Civil Code

摘要: 预期违约制度起源于英美法中的英国，后又在美国得到发展。大陆法系中，相关制度起源于德国。CISG吸收了二者的优点，又在此基础上进行了创新。预期违约最初建立起来是为了保护非违约方的利益，合同一方当事人在履行期届满之前有违约的可能时另一方可以通过救济途径维护自身的利益，并且不用等到合同履行期限届满之后才开始维护自身合法权益。预期违约经过不断地发展，各国的国内法以及国际公约都有了相关的规定。本文的目的在于探究CISG中的预期违约制度以及它对我国《民法典》预期违约制度的启示。

Abstract: Anticipatory breach of contract originated in The United Kingdom of Common law, and then developed in the United States. In the civil law system, the relevant system originated from Germany. CISG absorbed the advantages of the two and made innovations on this basis. Anticipatory breach of contract is initially established to protect the interests of the non-breaching party. If one party may breach the contract before the expiration of the term of performance, the other party can safeguard its own interests through remedies, and does not have to wait until the expiration of the term of performance of contract to safeguard its own legitimate rights and interests. Anticipatory breach of contract after continuous development, domestic laws and international conventions have relevant provisions. The purpose of this paper is to explore the anticipatory breach of contract system in CISG and its enlightenment to the anticipatory breach of contract system in China’s Civil Code.
