专业提示

避免混淆‘default’与‘delinquent’

‘Default’指已触发违约条款的严重拖欠,而‘delinquent’仅指逾期未付(如未按时还款但尚未正式违约)。例如:A delinquent loan may lead to default if not resolved(逾期贷款若不解决可能导致违约)。

黄金法则

违约的法律后果

违约通常会触发合同中的‘acceleration clause’(加速还款条款),债权人可要求立即偿还全部债务。此外,债务人可能面临信用评级下调、资产被没收或法律诉讼。

词源

来自中古英语‘defaulten’,源自古法语‘defaut’(缺席、不履行),最终源自拉丁语‘defallere’(未能履行)。最初指法庭缺席,后演变为未能履行义务的法律术语,现多用于金融领域。

用法说明

1. 在金融报道中常用被动语态:The company was declared in default(公司被宣布违约)。 2. 违约后可能面临法律诉讼、信用评级下调或资产被没收。 3. 与‘delinquency’(拖欠但未正式违约)区分:违约通常指已触发合同条款的严重拖欠。
