defeasance(法律/金融术语)指解除条款/使无效的条件:当满足某个条件时,使原先的契约、产权转让、债务义务等失效或被解除。在金融语境中也常指债务的“置换解除”(用专门资产覆盖未来偿付,从而在会计上/实务上解除原债务负担)。
/dɪˈfiːzəns/
The deed includes a defeasance clause that voids the transfer if the loan is repaid.
该契约包含一项解除条款:如果贷款还清,转让即告无效。
In a complex bond restructuring, the company used defeasance to remove certain liabilities from its balance sheet while ensuring creditors would still be paid.
在一项复杂的债券重组中,该公司通过“债务置换解除”将部分负债从资产负债表中移除,同时确保债权人仍能按期获得偿付。
源自中古法语与法律法语传统,来自 **defeas-**(“使……失效/废止”之意),与英语动词 defeat(击败、挫败)同源;在法律上发展出更专门的含义:通过某个条件或条款“挫败/解除”原本有效的法律行为或义务。
