第八百八十一条 技术咨询合同的委托人未按照约定提供必要的资料,影响工作进度和质量,不接受或者逾期接受工作成果的,支付的报酬不得追回,未支付的报酬应当支付。
技术咨询合同的受托人未按期提出咨询报告或者提出的咨询报告不符合约定的,应当承担减收或者免收报酬等违约责任。
技术咨询合同的委托人按照受托人符合约定要求的咨询报告和意见作出决策所造成的损失,由委托人承担,但是当事人另有约定的除外。
Article 881 The client could not claim refund paid or refuse to pay the amount due if failed to provide as agreed the necessary document causing the delay or quality of the consulting, or refuse to accept or postpone to accept the result
The consultant shall assume the breaching responsibility etc by decreasing or giving up the remuneration if failed as agreed to complete the consulting report or the report could not satisfy the requirement of the contract.
Any loss suffered by the client based on the consulting report or opinion shall be born by the client if the report conforms with the contract except agreed otherwise.
从本法条的规定看, 技术咨询合同的归责原则很简单,是无过错责任原则。不论是委托人,还是受托人,出现违约时,不问其主观上是否有过错,均应按照合同约定或本条规定承担责任. 因此,违约方的对策不是辩解自己没有过错,而应从不可抗力、情势变更或者有无约定免责事由上下功夫。
其次要注意的是,委托人没有办法强制受托人履行合同。如果是受托人拒绝履行其义务,委托人在向法院提起诉讼时,不要提出强制对方履行合同的请求。委托合同本来双方均可以随时解除合同, 另外,法院也没有办法强制其履行。因此,守约方剩下的就只有要求赔偿损失,降低价款或支付违约金的途径了。
最后一点特别重要。委托方花重金购买了一份咨询报告,但如果委托方按照咨询报告的内容从事相关经济活动结果造成了损失,受托人是不负责赔偿的。主要理由有两点,首先,咨询报告提供的内容只是供委托方决策参考,委托方在实施相关内容时还必须为自己的行为负最终责任。其次,从合同的生命周期看,受托方提供了符合合同约定的咨询报告后,就已经履行了义务,完成了合同。实施合同是咨询合同之后,委托方单独实施的行为,与受托方其实是没有关系的了。
当然,如果合同明确约定了这方面的内容,自然可以按照约定来。

法律英语
Operation of a common law system
Today, a common law system is based on three major sources of law: common law, equity and legislation. At one time, common law courts could not administer equity, as this was the province of the separate court of equity. That was swept away in the latter part of the nineteenth century in England and now all law courts (also in the United States) administer common law and the principles of equity in their courts.
