lost or not lost 不论灭失与否条款；灭失或不灭失条款 海上保险单中的一项条款，由此可使承保范围扩及保险单生效日期之前发生的损失。例如，商人购买海上运输中的货物投保时，该船舶业已发生事故，按该条款，该保险单可使该商人有权向保险公司要求赔偿航行中所受之损失，但以被保险人投保时不知情为条件。该条款同样适用于保险标的物为船舶的情形。

finder of lost property 遗失财产拾得人 其与其他财产占有人一样，有权占有该财产并可对抗除财产所有权人以外的任何人。根据英国1968年《盗窃法》〔Theft Act〕，无论是在发现当时或此后，遗失财产拾得人主观上有侵占意图的，则可构成盗窃罪。在个人财产上的拾得物，如财产所有人在当时占有该财产，则属于该财产的所有人。在商店里的拾得物，即使拾得人已将其交与店主以进行失物招领，拾得人仍可向店主请求返还。以拍卖方式取得某一衣柜，而该衣柜的隐藏抽屉中放有若干现金，则在法律上，该买受人的地位同于遗失物拾得人。另外，当值警察不得对其拾得物主张所有权。

lost property
lost property 遗失物 指由于物之所有人的疏忽或粗心而并非自愿地使其物与所有人分离，并且不知物在何处。不包括所有人为安全起见有意将物藏匿于一个秘密地方。它与遗忘物〔mislaid property〕或抛弃物〔abandoned property〕不同。遗忘物是指物的所有人故意将该物置于某处，事后遗忘其放于何处，但可通过仔细查寻发现该物；抛弃物则是所有人明知而故意放弃该物的利益。遗失物如被找到，真正占有人可继续对该物享有最充分的权利，并确立其占有权。遗失物的拾得人亦享有最充分的权利，并可对抗除真正占有人以外的一切人，但如其知道谁是真正占有人，则应将该拾得物返还，如其不知，则应将拾得物送交警察或失物招领处。 (→mislaid property)
