德國民法中建築師及工程師契約特殊規定之新規定

The New Framework of Special Rules on Architect and Engineer Contracts in the German Civil Code

2018年1月1日德國工程承攬契約法改革法案生效，該法案補充和修訂德國民法承攬一節之規定。其中新增設一種類似於承攬契約，但又具特殊獨立屬性之建築師契約及工程師契約。此新增設之建築師、工程師設計和監造契約，被視為建築契約法發展之重要標誌之一。德國民法中就建築師契約及工程師契約所為之特殊規定，係為建築師契約及工程師契約劃定一個符合雙方當事人風險分配之責任機制，其重要規定為：將建築師契約及工程師契約明文化、將制定目標階段劃入酬金之範疇，並配套訂有特殊終止權之機制、建立部分受領之模型、設置建築師或工程師連帶責任之後位範例。本文分析討論德國民法中之建築師契約及工程師契約之特殊規定，以資為我國法之借鏡。

The reform of German construction contract law, effective January 1, 2018, introduced architect and engineer contracts into the Civil Code (BGB) as a distinct category alongside traditional contracts for work. These contracts, covering both design and supervision, mark a significant step in the development of construction contract law. The special provisions establish a risk-allocation framework between the parties, featuring the codification of architect and engineer contracts, remuneration for the target-setting phase, a special termination right, a model for partial acceptance, and a subsidiary example of joint and several liability. This article examines these provisions and considers their potential as a reference for Taiwanese law.
