外观主义不以当事人意志和已存的法律事实为依据,而是直接根据具有法律意义的外观事实要件,判断法律关系的效力和决定责任归属。其价值导向在于保护第三人的信赖利益和交易的安全与效率,这无疑与商法的价值理念相契合。然而,司法工作者在商事裁判中时常忽略外观主义的存在,一味注重探求行为人的真意和事实的真相,致使裁判结果与商法价值背道而驰。在商事审判领域,不但应当匡正外观主义的基本原则地位,而且应当弱化“本人与因”“合理信赖”两个构成要件,构建“纯粹外观主义”理念。 Exteriorism is not based on the will of the parties and the existing legal facts. Instead, it directly determines the validity of the legal relationship and determines the attribution of responsibility directly on the basis of legal factual appearance facts. Its value orientation is to protect the trust interests of third parties and the security and efficiency of transactions, which undoubtedly fit the value concept of commercial law. However, judiciary often overlooks the existence of exteriorism in commercial judgment, and always pays attention to the truth of the perpetrator and the truth of the truth. As a result, the adjudication result runs counter to the value of commercial law. In the area of ​​commercial trials, not only the fundamental principles of exteriorism should be rectified, but the two elements of “self and reason” and “pure faith” should be weakened.
