No effect, no pay. What does this mean?

"No effect, no remuneration" is a principle often mentioned in the International Maritime Code, which mainly plays an important role in the field of shipwreck rescue. As we all know, maritime transport is a very complex and dangerous undertaking, and ships often encounter various dangers at sea and need to be rescued by other ships. Although salvage is a good act, the ship that carries out the salvage often suffers its own losses as a result of the salvage.

In order to encourage such salvage behavior, international maritime law stipulates that once the salvage is successful, the rescued ship shall pay a certain amount of remuneration to the salvaged ship. However, the remuneration shall not exceed the value of the rescued ship, and the rescued vessel shall not be required to pay remuneration if the salvage has no practical effect or the salvage fails. This is the original meaning of "no effect, no reward".

The principle of "no effect, no remuneration" is somewhat similar to the "management without cause" in the land civil law, which requires that the ship carrying out the rescue itself has no obligation to carry out the rescue, that is, if the rescue ship is a lifeboat specially used by a company to carry out rescue, then even if the rescue is successful, it will not be paid, because the rescue is its duty. In addition, salvage mainly refers to the salvage of the cargo and the hull itself, if the cargo is damaged and the ship sinks, but only the crew or passengers are saved, then there is no compensation. Because saving human lives is also an obligation.

There is an exception to the principle of "no effect, no remuneration", that is, if the rescued ship is an oil tanker or other ship carrying dangerous goods, then even if the rescue fails, the rescued ship will be paid a certain remuneration or compensation, which is determined by the nature of the cargo carried by the ship itself.

Specifically, the "no effect-no compensation" principle has two implications:

On the one hand, the principle of "no effect-no remuneration" emphasizes in a double negative way that the effect of the rescue is a prerequisite for the rescuer to receive the rescue remuneration. The rescue is effective, that is, the rescue is successful, which means that two conditions must be met to constitute the success of the rescue:

On the other hand, the "no effect-no compensation" principle emphasizes that when the rescue is ineffective, the rescuer is not entitled to any payment, regardless of the actual cost he has paid for it; In the international community, "pay" originally referred to the amount due to the rescuer after the end of the rescue service, but because there was no special compensation in the past, it has been translated as "rescue remuneration" in China, and the "rescue remuneration" here is only limited to what people now call the rescue remuneration that is different from special compensation. Therefore, the true meaning of the "no effect-no remuneration" principle here should be expressed as "effect-paid, non-effect-no payment".

If there is no effect, then there is no pay. Also equivalent to"If you are paid, you must have an effect"

If it doesn't work, of course you won't be paid!

This kind of behavior is characterized by repentance, and the two parties do not form a corresponding compensation relationship. Gifts, uses, loans, etc. are all gratuitous acts.

In the civil juristic acts of the property parties, according to whether the parties have been treated for payment, they can be divided into paid acts and gratuitous acts. Only the civil juristic acts of both parties have the question of paid or unpaid, and there is no question of paid or unpaid for unilateral civil juristic acts.

No remuneration is called unpaid, and no hindrance is called unhindered.
