论我国票据法中前手与后手概念的立法完善

On the Legislative Perfection of the Concept of the Prior Holder and the Subsequent Holder in China’s Negotiable Instruments Law

摘要: 我国票据法中前手与后手概念的界定和使用前后不一、相互矛盾。通过对票据法进行理论分析和体系解释，应当明确：出票人不是前手，承兑人不是前手或后手，持票人不是后手；不能以签章时间先后、方位前后判断前后手关系，而应以逻辑关系排列来判断前手与后手。进而对票据法相关条文提出修改建议。

Abstract: The definition and use of the concepts of the prior holder and the subsequent holder in China’s negotiable instruments law are contradictory. Through theoretical analysis and system interpretation of the theory of negotiable instruments law, we should clear that the prior holder includes neither the drawer nor the acceptor, and that the subsequent holder includes neither the acceptor nor holder. The relationship between the prior holders and the subsequent holders should not be judged by the order of time or position of signatures, but by the logical arrangement. Then, it puts forward some suggestions to amend the relevant provisions of the negotiable instruments law.
