對於內線交易這個議題,有別於國內目前的文獻,不管是教科書或期刊文獻,乃至於碩博士論文,幾乎可以說是清一色的將焦點集中在美國、日本、歐盟等相關實定法、實務、學說的探討,本文是以我國現行證券交易法暨相關法令、辦法為研究主題。再者,就違反內線交易規定所須負的法律責任部分,本文是以我國刑事構成要件理論和歐陸法系的法治國刑事法法理,來探討內線交易的刑事責任問題。換言之,就我國法而言,本文的立場僅限於內線交易刑事責任的問題,而不及於其他法律責任的問題。 本文的架構如下:第一章,主要在說明重大消息與內線消息的不同,並點出現行證券交易法對於內線交易規範的立法錯誤;第二章,簡介證券交易法第157條之1的立法沿革;第三章,探討「內線交易」構成要件及其「(刑事)可罰性」的法律依據;第四章,則是本文的重心所在,即以我國的刑事構成要件理論剖析「內線交易」構成要件,並同時以法治國刑事法的法理探討其相關解釋、適用疑義暨重新檢討其立法妥當性,乃至於提出修法建議;第五章,評析內線交易的若干實務見解;第六章,則是本文結論與內線交易相關修法建議──以刑事責任為限。

This thesis is to present the Securities Exchange Act and the relevant regulations in Taiwan as the research topic. Furthermore, it talks about the issue of criminal liability of insider trading based on the criminal “Tatbestand” theory in Taiwan as well as the criminal principles of law of the legal state of the continental legal system. In other words, as far as the domestic law is concerned, the current thesis discusses about only the criminal liability of insider trading.
