The estimate of credit risk is the core concept of the duty of care on banking, the conclusion will influence the decisions of the loan application to be approved or not and the amount of the approved loan. The aforesaid decisions essentially are professional business judgments, and the court shall not consider the manager of bank branch is negligent of the decisions on credit based on the result of bad debt. Concerning to the criterion of such the duty of care, adopting the Business Judgment Rule (“BJR”) as the criterion would be better than the Five Credit Administration Principles that includes subjective appraisals. The reason is that the consideration of the five constructive factors of BJR by the court at the earlier stage will restrain the same court at the later stage of the same case, namely BJR also is a standard of conduct in reality. Although such a contention is different from the practice of the court in USA, several civil judgments of the courts in Taiwan have adopted the theoretical foundations of BJR as the reasons of relevant considerations. This thesis tries to analyze the major reasons of civil judgments on such the duty of care though the empirical study of civil judgments in Taiwan, and desires to class these reasons as several types. Finally, this thesis translates the typed reasons into the concepts of BJR, and the purpose of the aforesaid translation is to establish a stable criterion for reference.
