美国调解机密性理论与实践及其借鉴意义

调解的机密性是美国调解制度中的一项重要内容,它是指除非各方同意,当事人在调解过程中所披露的信息以及形成的调解协议,都不能在接下来的程序(包括诉讼)中被强制开示,作为证据证明案件事实,调解员也不能披露在调解过程中获得的任何信息.我国立法中,零星体现了对调解机密性的关注,但不成系,应从引入特权形式、明确调解机密性保护的对象和设置调解与审判分离的诉讼机制等方面着手,重构我国的调解制度.

The Theory and the Practice of American Intermediation Confidentiality and Its Value for Reference

The intermediation confidentiality is an important contents in the American intermediation system,it means unless both agree,neither information published by the party nor agreement formed in the intermediation process,can be show as proof compulsively in the next procedure(include litigation),meanwhile,the intermediator can't disclose any information that acquired in the process of the intermediation.In our lawmakings,the attention to the issue is dispersed but not systemicl.We should launch on introducing the privilege form,confirming the object protected by intermediation secret system,and setting the litigation mechanism that the intermediation separates with hearing etc to reconstruct our intermediation system.
