澳門法院:博企須爲中介債務附連帶責任
澳門特區終審法院院長辦公室公佈,終審法院在今年1月至2月期間,共完成審理9宗在娛樂場幸運博彩的承批公司旗下娛樂場中的娛樂場幸運博彩中介人寄存籌碼的案件。其中8宗案件涉及多金娛樂一人有限公司(下稱「多金」)與永利渡假村(澳門)股份有限公司(下稱「永利」),其餘1宗案件涉及太陽城博彩中介一人有限公司(下稱「太陽城」)與美高梅金殿超濠。 經取得「永利」及「美高梅」的許可及同意,「多金」和「太陽城」分別成爲這兩間博彩承批公司中的娛樂場幸運博彩中介人。「多金」及「太陽城」分別在「永利」及「美高梅」開設貴賓廳,並透過有關貴賓廳供其會員寄存及提取籌碼。上述9宗案件的原告均爲「多金」或「太陽城」貴賓廳的會員,他們在「多金」或「太陽城」的貴賓廳寄存金額由100萬港元到6,000萬港元不等的現金碼後要求取回,遭「多金」或「太陽城」拒絕,遂分別向初級法院提起訴訟,要求「多金」與「永利」或「太陽城」與「美高梅」以連帶責任的方式返還所寄存的現金碼或相等金額的款項以及相關法定利息。 上述9宗案件均被上訴至終審法院。終審法院合議庭認爲,行政法規的第29條的目的旨在強制規定博彩承批公司就其博彩中介人所開展的活動向第三人承擔連帶責任,這種連帶責任,不論是否構成任何行政違法,都具有行政法性質,而其適用範圍也僅限於博彩中介人爲博彩承批公司的利益而在賭場內所開展的典型活動。合議庭認爲,博彩承批公司就其博彩中介人在其旗下的娛樂場所開展的活動而對第三人產生的債務,須向第三人承擔連帶責任。 綜上,在其中針對中級法院開釋博彩承批公司的上訴案中,終審法院合議庭最終裁定原告的上訴勝訴,「多金」的上訴敗訴;在其餘上訴案中,「多金」與「永利」以及「太陽城」與「美高梅」的上訴均敗訴。(
