Abstract
This article considers Hugo Grotius’s ideas on a specific topic of commercial law, analysing his position and potential contributions to early modern Dutch insolvency legislation. It might be questioned how ‘Hollandic’ Grotius’s interpretations of legal solutions for insolvency as presented in the Inleidinge tot de Hollandsche Rechts-Geleerdheid actually were. Grotius’s treatment of cessie van goede is relatively strict, whereas compositions are hardly mentioned. A rather different image rises from his later work. Here, Grotius displays a more radical view, in specific cases allowing the sovereign to interfere in private property rights and to restructure debts for the common good. It is an intriguing question if and to what extent these ideas can be related to contemporary Dutch insolvency practices.
本文探讨了雨果-格劳秀斯(Hugo Grotius)关于商法这一特定主题的思想,分析了他的立场以及对荷兰近代早期破产立法的潜在贡献。或许有人会质疑,《Inleidinge tot de Hollandsche Rechts-Geleerdheid》一书中格劳秀斯对破产法律解决方案的解释究竟有多 "荷兰"。格劳秀斯对 cessie van goede 的处理相对严格,而对成分则几乎只字未提。在他的晚期作品中,出现了一个截然不同的形象。在这里,格劳秀斯表现出一种更为激进的观点,在特定情况下允许君主干预私人财产权并为公共利益重组债务。这些观点能否以及在多大程度上与当代荷兰的破产实践相关联,是一个耐人寻味的问题。
