摘要
合同当事人缔约地位的不平等而导致违约金条款被滥用的现实是违约金变更规则得以确立的客观原因,大陆法系与英美法系主要国家立法对违约金的变更问题作出了规定。我国《合同法》第112条以及相关司法解释确立的违约金变更规则是处理违约金变更的重要法律依据,但在违约金变更标准以及举证责任等方面存在缺陷,需要通过立法加以进一步的完善。
The objective cause to establish the rule for adjustment of liquidated damages lies in the abuse of the liquidated damages provision because of the unequal status between the contracting parties.Most of the countries in civil law system and Anglo-American law system have made provisions for adjustment of liquidated damages.The article 112 in the Contract Law in China and the relative judicial interpretation are the important legal ground to adjust the liquidated damage in which there is much to be desired such as the standard to adjust and the burden of proof.These problems should be perfected by the legislation.
