Abstract | 本文質疑各種支票付款人對執票人應負支付之責之理由依據。最高法院及學說基於各種理由或依據幾乎均肯定支票付款人對執票人應負支付之責,但是本文認為,支票付款人僅對發票人應負支付之責,對執票人,並不負支付之責;而且無論支票、支票之付款委託、支票契約、第三人利益契約,以及票據法第一四三條前段均難以作為肯定見解之依據,而且本條前段規定亦非民法第一八四條第二項之保護他人之法律,付款人拒絕付款並不構成對執票人之違反保護他人法律之侵權行為。此外,就崇友崇反案,最高法院及若干學說主張崇友公司對付款銀行得依票據法第一四三條前段規定請求之見解,明顯錯誤,因為本案並不符合本條前段之構成要件。本文認為崇友公司僅得依原因債權對債務人請求給付;值得注意的是,因崇友公司就其受雇人故意變造支票獲款致債務人仍負有原因關係之債務,應與付款銀行共同承擔責任,而債務人又須承擔付款銀行之過失。在此,斟酌崇友公司之受雇人係故意變造,而付款銀行僅係過失,崇友公司至少應承擔60%之責任,故債務人就崇友公司所主張之原因債權,得依不完全給付或侵權行為對崇友公司主張損害賠償請求權,而主張抵銷至少60%之金額。 Under current practice in Taiwan, the judicial judgments and scholarly opinions hold the position that a payer bank of a cheque owes a legal duty to make payment to the holder of the cheque. However, my view is that the bank only owes a legal duty to its customer, i.e. the cheque-issuer, but the bank does not owe a legal duty to the holder of the cheque. I argue that the judicial judgments and scholarly opinions do not provide any legal foundations for the legal duty of the payer bank toward the cheque holder. I also argue that a violation of Article 143 of the Negotiable Instruments Code by a payer bank is not a violation of a law for protection of the other parties as provided under paragraph 2, Article 184 Civil Code of Taiwan. |
