问题 问答题 简答题

甲公司拟购买一台大型生产设备,于2007年6月1日与乙公司签订一份价值为80万元的生产设备买卖合同。合同约定:

(1)设备直接由乙公司的特约生产服务商丙机械厂于9月1日交付给甲公司;

(2)甲公司于6月10日向乙公司交付定金16万元;

(3)甲公司于设备交付之日起10日内付清货款;

(4)合同履行过程中,如发生合同纠纷,向某市仲裁委员会申请仲裁。

合同签订后,丙机械厂同意履行该合同为其约定的交货义务。

6月10日,甲公司向乙公司交付定金16万元。9月1日,丙机械厂未向甲公司交付设备。甲公司催告丙机械厂,限其在9月20日之前交付设备,并将履约情况告知乙公司。至9月20日,丙机械厂仍未能交付设备。因生产任务紧急,甲公司于9月30日另行购买了功能相同的替代设备,并于当天通知乙公司解除合同,要求乙公司双倍返还定金32万元,同时赔偿其他损失。乙公司以丙机械厂未能按期交付设备,致使合同不能履行,应由丙机械厂承担违约责任为由,拒绝了甲公司的要求。

10月10日,甲公司就此纠纷向法院提起诉讼。法院受理后,乙公司提交答辩状并参加了开庭审理。

要求:根据上述情况和合同法、担保法、仲裁法等法律制度的有关规定,回答下列问题:

(1)甲公司是否有权解除合同并说明理由。

(2)乙公司主张违约责任应由丙机械厂承担是否符合法律规定并说明理由。

(3)甲公司与乙公司之间的买卖合同解除后,合同中的仲裁协议是否仍然有效并说明理由。

(4)甲公司与乙公司约定的定金条款是否符合法律规定并说明理由。

(5)法院是否有权审理该合同纠纷并说明理由。

答案

参考答案:

(1)甲公司有权解除合同。根据规定,当事人一方迟延履行主要债务,经催告后在合理期限内仍未履行的,可以解除合同。在本题中,经甲公司催告后,对方当事人在合理期限内仍未履行,因此,甲公司可以解除合同。 

(2)乙公司的主张不符合法律规定。根据规定,当事人约定由第三人向债权人履行债务的,第三人不履行债务或者履行债务有瑕疵的,应当由债务人向债权人承担违约责任。在本题中,丙机械厂不是合同的当事人,丙公司不向甲公司履行债务的,应当由债务人(乙公司)向债权人(甲公司)承担违约责任。 

(3)仲裁协议仍然有效。根据规定,仲裁协议具有独立性,合同的变更、解除、终止或无效,不影响仲裁协议的效力。 

(4)定金条款符合法律规定。根据规定,定金的数额由当事人约定,但不得超过主合同标的额的20%。在本题中,主合同标的额为80万元,约定的定金为16万元,未超过主合同标的额的20%。 

(5)法院有权审理该合同纠纷。根据规定,当事人达成仲裁协议,一方向人民法院起诉时未声明有仲裁协议的,人民法院受理后,另一方在首次开庭前提交仲裁协议的,人民法院应当驳回起诉;另一方在首次开庭前未对人民法院受理该案提出异议的,视为放弃仲裁协议,人民法院应当继续审理。在本题中,甲公司提起诉讼时未声明有仲裁协议,乙公司在首次开庭前未提出异议,提交了答辩状并参加了开庭审理,视为放弃仲裁协议,人民法院应当继续审理。

There is a famous saying from the French politician J.A. Brillat-Savarin that goes: “Tell me what kind of food you eat, and I will tell you what kind of man you are.” It can be easy to not really think about what you eat. For example, whenever you go into a supermarket to buy a drink, it is all too easy to pick up an ice cream or a piece of chocolate as well. You might not even really want them, but sometimes their bright, nice packaging(包装) can be too hard to refuse.

So, in our special food magazine we will show you why you should really pay more attention to what you eat! Food not only influences our health but also our beliefs, customs and personalities. 

The first article will look at the way fast food is leading to obesity (肥胖). The famous cook, Jamie Oliver, has made it his purpose to introduce ideas about healthy eating. In a speech, Jamie Oliver told the world that during the 18 minutes that he gave his speech, four Americans would die because of the food that they ate! Obesity is also a growing problem in China. As China Daily reported in February, the number of obese people under the age of 18 in China has reached 120 million.

Jamie has worked for 10 years to try and fight this problem. Learning about food is important not just because of health problems but also because many people still don’t have enough food today. And we know as the improvement of science sometimes we have to face genetically modified (转基因) food. Don’t worry – we’ll make you know more about all these topics in our special article! 

We’ll also tell you something interesting about food. For example, do you know what the largest food on the menu is all over the world? It’s the roasted camel and it has been served for several hundred years, often stuffed (填满) with chicken, lamb, egg, fish and rice! 

Hopefully by the time you finish reading this edition(版本), you’ll pay more attention to the food that you eat. As Oliver says, food is something that can help us enjoy our life. It is important that we love it!
