摘要

摘要本文从比较的角度探讨了合同法中对价的概念，考察了英国法和德国法如何区分便宜货和礼物。与普通法特有而民法不存在的考虑的正统观点相反，本文中的双向分析表明，英国法律和德国法律如何被理解为履行可比较的职能，从而相互告知和受益。复杂的英国学说可以用来完善德国对礼物相当不精确的定义，而英国当局的理解可以从对德国法律中无偿性标准的反向反思中受益。

A BIDIRECTIONAL ANGLO-GERMAN COMPARISON OF CONSIDERATION IN CONTRACT LAW

Abstract This article explores the concept of consideration in contract law from a comparative perspective, looking at how English law and German law distinguish bargains from gifts. Contrary to the orthodoxy that consideration is unique to Common Law and absent from Civil Law, the bidirectional analysis in this article shows how English law and German law can be understood to fulfil a comparable function and can thus inform and benefit each other. The sophisticated English doctrine can be used to refine the rather imprecise German definition of gifts, whilst the understanding of English authorities can profit from reflecting inversely on the criterion of gratuitousness in German law.
