Summary

Transferring claims has traditionally been a dogmatic near impossibility in the civilian institutional tradition. In practice, however, contractual creativity provided space to develop a variety of mechanisms for transferring claims. Our paper explores such a mechanism, which financed the seamen of the Dutch East India Company (voc), on the basis of their claims to future salary. The associated document, the so-called transportbrief, started from a seaman’s debt, which by mandate the Company accepted to pay to the bearer of the document, if conditions as performance of labor obligations were met. Payment practice itself was carefully orchestrated by resolutions of the voc board, the Heeren xvii, thereby tailoring market and law according to the various interests involved.

Plane nostris moribus：荷兰东印度公司对未来工资的惯常融资

概括

在民事制度传统中，转移债权传统上是一种几乎不可能的教条行为。然而，在实践中，合同创造性为发展各种转让债权的机制提供了空间。我们的论文探讨了这样一种机制，该机制根据荷兰东印度公司（ voc ）海员对未来工资的要求为他们提供资金。相关文件，即所谓的运输简报，始于海员的债务，根据授权，如果满足履行劳动义务的条件，公司同意向文件持有者付款。支付实践本身是由VOC董事会Heeren xvii的决议精心策划的，从而根据所涉及的各种利益来调整市场和法律。
