Study on the Legislation based on the Flexible System

奥地利法律学者沃尔特·威尔伯格开发了一种被称为“灵活制度”的制度。根据这一制度，法律规则应明确提及在适用本规则的特定案件中寻找解决办法所涉及的所有要素(因素、原则)。这一制度在历史上首次在新奥法草案中被采用，但这一做法受到了批评，因为它可能造成相当高的不确定性。本研究考察了日本立法是否应采用这一制度。

Austrian legal scholar Walter Wilburg has developed what is known as a "flexible system". According to this system, a legal rule shall contain explicit reference to all the elements (factors, principles) relevant in finding a solution in the particular case to which this rule is to be applied. This system was adopted for the first time in history in the New Austrian Draft on Liability Law.But this approach has given rise to criticism, because it may create a rather high level of uncertainty.This study examined whether this system should be adopted in Japanese legislation or not.
