论行政复议被申请人作为行政诉讼第三人

在复议改变之诉中,作为复议被申请人的原具体行政行为作出机关应当作为行政诉讼第三人参加诉讼,因为当下制度设计已为复议被申请人作为第三人留有空间,符合我国行政诉讼制度目的与价值取向,可为行政权限争议解决提供新路径,行政隶属关系并不排斥复议被申请人的诉讼第三人身份,符合“有利益就有参与”的基本法则,复议被申请人与复议改变之间有利害关系.利用制度空间和既成之诉“一并审查”、“附带解决”相关问题已成诉讼经济原则的基本要求和各国诉讼制度实践的普遍做法,我国应逐步确认和拓展法院在行政权限争议诉讼调处中的能动作用.     

Coerced work during parole: Prevalence,mechanisms, and characteristics

Coerced work on parole occurs when people are required to work under the threat of criminal legal repercussions. In the face of barriers to “good” work for people after prison, coercion helps to funnel parolees into positions at the bottom of the labor market. Parolee workers in these positions experience issues common to precarious, low-wage work (low pay, hazardous working conditions, and labor law violations), as well as heightened vulnerability to predatory employers and exposure to parole-prohibited activities. Because of the threat-backed requirements to work, however, parolees must choose to either accept this “bad” work or face potential sanctions. Using mixed-methods, including a novel form of respondent-driven sampling I call “Hybrid-RDS,” this article documents the prevalence of coerced work for people on parole in Los Angeles County, identifies the mechanisms through which coercive work operates, and illustrates the problematic employment conditions of coerced work after prison.     

论海事强制令中的“需要纠正被请求人违反法律规定或者合同约定的行为”

海事强制令是一项重要的海事诉讼法律制度,对保护海事请求人的合法权益具有重要意义,而＂需要纠正被请求人违反法律规定或者合同约定的行为＂是海事强制令适用条件中非常重要的且容易引起纠纷的条款。对这一条款进行论述,指出海事活动的当事人如果违反了强制性法律规范,就属于海事强制令适用条件中所指的＂违反法律规定的行为＂;如果当事人在合同的履行中违反了合同的约定,就可能属于海事强制令适用条件中所指的＂需要纠正的违反合同约定的行为＂,主要是指违反定期租船合同、光船租赁合同以及航次租船合同约定的行为。     

行政诉讼行政首长出庭应诉制度:司法政治学的视角

新《行政诉讼法》修订颁布之后,行政首长出庭应诉制度正式成为一项带有鲜明中国特色的司法运作机制。从制度变迁的角度来看,行政首长出庭应诉制度经历了一个从地方政策试验到中央立法吸纳的过程。从各地关于行政首长出庭应诉制度的政策文本出发,不难发现社会稳定压力与地方法制竞争的外部因素影响,而且行政首长出庭应诉制度的实践运作,也主要依赖于数字考核的指标控制而非行政法治的自我拘束。从中国行政诉讼模式变迁的大背景下观察,行政首长出庭应诉与行政诉讼协调和解、行政诉讼司法建议制度根源自相同的法理,均旨在实现纠纷的实质性化解,而不再将合法性判断视为行政诉讼的核心议题。     

EU Accession to the ECHR: Between Autonomy and Adaptation

After the European Union's accession to the European Convention on Human Rights the EU will become subject to legally binding judicial decisions of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and participate in statutory bodies of the Council of Europe (Parliamentary Assembly; Committee of Ministers) when they act under the Convention. Convention rights and their interpretation by the ECtHR will be directly enforceable against the EU institutions and against Member States when acting within the scope of EU law. This will vest the ECHR with additional force in a number of Member States, including Germany and the UK. All Member States will further be subject to additional constraints when acting under the Convention system. The article considers the reasons for, and consequences of the EU's primus inter pares position under the Convention and within the Council of Europe, and the likely practical effect of the EU's accession for its Member States.     

关于行政复议决定履行争议的思考——写在《行政复议法》修订之际

行政复议决定本身的合法性、合理性以及行政复议决定的有效履行是行政复议制度不断完善和发展的基点.通过对某卫生行政复议履行争议案例的评析,对目前司法合法性审查不介入行政复议决定履行的做法提出商榷,指出行政复议履行争议实质是被申请人依法履职争议,强调职权法定是判断行政机关是否依法履职的基本原则,分析行政复议决定不履行或者不完...
