《法人团体合同法》(Corporate Bodies' Contracts Act 1960)是英国的一项法律,于1960年颁布。该法旨在修订与代表法人团体订立合同相关的法律规定,并与之相关的目的,为法人团体和其相关方提供了法律框架和保障。
(1)可以代表任何法人团体(无论其注册在何处)订立以下合同:
(a) 如果根据法律要求私人之间订立的合同必须以书面形式,并由涉及的各方签署,那么可以由法人团体代表以书面形式订立,由任何依其明示或默示授权行事的人签署;
(b) 如果根据法律要求私人之间订立的合同即使只口头达成且未以书面形式记录仍然有效,那么可以由法人团体代表以口头形式订立,由任何依其明示或默示授权行事的人代表签署。
(2)按照本条款订立的合同在法律上具有效力,并将约束法人团体及其继任者和其他各方。
(3)按照本条款订立的合同可按照本条款授权的方式进行变更或解除。
(4)本条款不得阻止法人团体以盖章方式或代表其订立合同。
(5)本条款不适用于本法案生效前所订立、变更或解除的合同,但适用于法人团体在本法案生效前或生效后授权的合同。
需要注意的是,该法律不排斥法人团体使用盖章方式订立合同的情况。此外,该法律并不适用于2006年公司法注册的公司、在英国以外注册的公司或有限责任合伙企业。
