3月3日,A公司向B公司签发了一张已由C银行承兑的金额为15万元的银行承兑汇票,B公司在收到该汇票后,于3月4日将其背书转让给D公司,D公司已经支付了对价。3月10日,B公司未向A公司交付设备,经A公司催告后至3月15日,B公司仍未交货,A公司遂于3月18日另行购买了设备,并通知B公司解除合同,要求B公司双倍返还定金30万元,同时支付违约金20万元。B公司收到A公司通知后未就解除合同提出异议,但不同意A公司提出的双倍返还定金和支付违约金的要求。
4月5日,D公司在该汇票到期日向C银行提示付款,C银行以买卖合同已经解除为由拒绝支付票据款。
2009年5月1日,A公司为更新改造生产设备向C银行贷款1500万元,借款期限为1年,A公司以自己的一套流水线提供抵押,另外,由甲公司为A公司的贷款提供保证,甲公司与C银行签订保证合同,但未明确约定保证的形式。双方约定的保证期间为“甲公司承担保证责任,直至A公司的本息还清时为止”。
2010年5月1日,A公司无法清偿上述C银行的贷款,C银行向甲公司要求清偿,甲公司以应先就A公司提供的流水线拍卖价款清偿,不足的部分再由自己承担。经查,A公司与C银行订立的抵押合同和甲公司与C银行订立的保证合同中,均未约定各自的担保份额和责任承担顺序。
要求:根据上述事实,结合合同法律制度的相关规定,回答下列问题:
1.A公司解除合同的主张是否符合《合同法》的规定并说明理由。

答案

参考答案:A公司要求B公司双倍返还定金30万元,同时支付违约金20万元不符合规定。根据《合同法》的规定,当事人既约定违约金,又约定定金的,一方违约时,对方可以选择适用违约金或定金条款,但两者不可同时并用。
