英文名詞 | Legal Tender |
中文解釋 | 係指國幣對於本國境內之一切支付具有合法清償效力之謂。國幣未經依法公告失其法償效力之前為法償貨幣,除當事人另有約定外,債務人以法償貨幣給付,債權人如拒絕收受,應負受領遲延之責。(註:依「管理外匯條例」第8條規定,於我國境內所從事之交易,其款項之收付,仍不得以外幣現鈔為之)[2] |
英文解釋 | This refers to the legal tender status of the national currency for all domestic payments. Unless proclaimed otherwise, the national currency serves as legal tender. If a creditor refuses payment when a debtor repays debt with the legal tender, the creditor would be liable for the default, unless the creditor and the debtor have separate agreements. (Note that according to Article 8 of the Foreign Exchange Control Act, cash receipts and payments for domestic transactions shall not be collected or made in foreign currency.)[2] |
