民事诉讼审限制度的存与废

诉讼效率与法院的结构和运作紧密联系.在立法上诉讼效率取决于程序的科学构建,司法运作中则决定于案件管理水平.审理期限是一种视野过于狭窄的诉讼效率衡量体系,弹性过大的制度设置使其难以精确衡量并提高诉讼效率,故应以诉讼周期取而代之.本质上审理期限是法官职业伦理问题,而非民事诉讼法程序制度.在即将修改民事诉讼法之际,删除审限制度规定,加强对诉讼机能的调整,为当事人设置诉讼促进义务,使诉讼程序合理衔接,是提高诉讼效率的理性选择.

On the Time-Limit of Civil Trial

Justice efficiency is closely related to the inner-structure and performance of the court.Justice efficiency is decided by the scientific design of trial procedure and the level of case administration.The time-limit of trial is a narrow-sighted system to evaluate the justice efficiency.because of the flexibility of the system,it is impossible to evaluate the justice efficiency or improve and it should be replaced by justice period.Essentially,the time-limit of trial is a question of ethic and can not be included in the civil procedure law system.It will be a rational choice to cancel the rules about time-limit of trial,and instead,to strengthen the functional adjustment of justice by putting obligation on parties to promote the proceeding of justice and making the justice procedure link-up in a reasonable way.
