摘要
通过对国内外立法和学者关于违约金概念的比较,提出界定我国违约金概念的建议。同时指出,违约金是违约责任的一种形式,我国违约金属赔偿性违约金。实践中,调整赔偿性违约金数额应有所节制,但对惩罚性违约金却应从立法上对其最高数额予以限制。
This paper puts forward the proposals for defining the concept of penalty in China, by comparing the concepts of penalty from the domestic and international legislation and scholars. It also points out that penalty is only a form of liability of breach of contract, and penalty in China belongs to compensational penalty. In practice, there should be some temperance on adjustment to the amount of compensational penalty, but some legal restraints on the punitive penalty of its highest level.
