【摘要】 惩罚性赔偿是侵权损害赔偿之外一项独立的民事责任承担方式,其适用并不能替代侵权损害赔偿责任。人民法院应当释明,要求当事人明确其赔偿请求的性质及其具体数额,进而作出相应的裁判。应当以"故意"作为惩罚性赔偿唯一主观要件。合理开支不应纳入惩罚性赔偿计算的基数,但法律另有规定的除外。惩罚性赔偿与罚款、罚金性质不同且具有优先受偿性,不因当事人已被处以罚款或罚金,而免除依法应当承担的惩罚性赔偿责任。更多还原

【Abstract】 As an independent way of assuming civil liabilities,punitive damages can not be replaced by tort damages.The people’s court shall make a judgment on the basis of the plaintiff’s clarification of the nature and the specific amount of the claims for compensation."Intentionally" should be used as the only subjective element of punitive damages.Reasonable expenses should not be included in the calculation of punitive damages,except as otherwise provided by law.Punitive damages are different from fines and penalties in nature and have priority in compensation.The defendants should not be exempted from assuming the liability of punitive damages provided by law just because of having assuming fines or penalties.更多还原
