对在我国民事诉讼法中确立诚实信用原则的思考

诚实信用原则乃道德规范,在我国民事诉讼法中是否适用诚实信用原则存有两种不同的主张。基于诚信契约和诚信诉讼的渊源及目前我国因不诚信行为所带来的危害现实,笔者认为应在民事诉讼法中确立诚实信用原则,通过设置的法律责任实现对不诚信行为的惩罚、救济和预防。     

解读民事诉讼中的诚实信用原则

毋庸置疑,在民事诉讼中需要确立诚实信用原则,然而,如果我们不本着客观的态度认真审视诚实信用原则,而盲目地一味扩大诚实信用原则在民事诉讼中的功效,甚至将其诠释为实质上授权法官自由裁量权,其结果势必与希望确立当事人主义诉讼模式的目的背道而驰.结合司法权理论、诉讼模式对诚实信用原则的基本内涵及其功效等进行系统的阐释.     

论国际商事仲裁的保密性与物权变动的公示公信原则——评国际商事仲裁的保密性对《中华人民共和国物权法》第二十八条、第三十一条的影响

仲裁的保密性被认为是国际商事仲裁的显著特征之一,而公示公信是物权法上一个很重要的原则。保密性在于不为公众所知,公示公信在于为公众所知并相信。如果法律在某一个方面同时存在两者,其冲突就会导致两者或者其中之一无效。笔者以商事仲裁的保密性为切入点,通过对《中华人民共和国物权法》第28条、第31条的逻辑分析得出物权公示公信原则有可能与国际商事仲裁的保密性相冲突,并讨论冲突所带来的影响和提出适当的解决途径。     

海上保险人最大诚信义务初探

最大诚信原则是海上保险法的基本原则之一 ,合同双方当事人应遵循这一原则履行合同 ,互负最大诚信义务。但被保险人的最大诚信义务往往占据了这一原则在立法与司法实践中的主导地位 ,各国学术讨论与理论研究也多未涉及该原则对保险人的具体要求。鉴于此 ,本文拟从我国相关法律规定与司法实践出发 ,借鉴英美法有关法例 ,对最大诚信原则在海上保险人义务方面的具体体现作一初步探讨

司法过程中的商谈与诚信原则

司法过程中的对话沟通是现代司法的特质,是实现司法公正的重要保证之一。诚信原则是现代司法的本质要求。在我国现阶段,通过司法过程的对话沟通树立司法公信力,是实现司法公正,促进司法独立,加快我国民主法治进程、建设和谐社会的重要出路。     

大陆法系侵权法上救助义务研究

大陆法系的绝大多数国家在刑法上都完成了"恶撒玛利亚人法"的制定,确立了人们应对他人承担一般救助义务的立法模式。但由于"好撒玛利亚人法"的缺失,势必会使人们在施救时产生种种疑虑与担心,进而严重影响到救助义务规定的法律实效。尽管《法国民法典》也是如此,但法国人在司法实践中形成的一些著名判例,对欧洲大陆其他国家还是产生了积极的影响。

“特别权力关系”理论与中国的行政立法——以《行政诉讼法》、《国家公务员法》为例

起源于19世纪德国的“特别权力关系”理论在我国的行政法学界还非常陌生。从行政法学史的视野,研究这一理论无疑仍有意义,但如果将这种理论视作与我国当今的行政立法,特别是《行政诉讼法》和《公务员法》有联系,甚至是这些行政立法的基础,那绝对是部分学者的误会。当今中国的行政立法与这一理论没有关系,这才是它与中国行政立法之间真正的“关系”。奉行“依法治国”的中国已与形成这一理论时的德国背景大不相同,中国已无必要引进这一“过时”的理论。《行政诉讼法》和《公务员法》的修改方向也与“特别权力关系”理论没有联系,有关修改中的棘手问题完全可以在我国现行的行政法制中绕开“特别权力关系”理论而得到解决。文章最后对《行政诉讼法》和《公务员法》的修改方向提出了自己的想法。     

加拿大国际私法的晚近发展及其对我国的启示

通过对加拿大最高法院自１９９０年来在国际私法领域新确立的若干判例规则及１９９４年《魁北克民法典》中的国际私法规范的评析，本文认为加拿大国际私法的晚近发展主要是：在管辖权方面，法院对“不方便法院原则”的遵循是以“就近规则”为基础的；在法律适用方面，侵权行为领域中的法院地法规则已经由行为地法规则所代替，并且，时效问题已经被当作实质问题而不再被视为程序问题；在判决的承认和执行方面，法院除了将“充分信任与信用”作为一项基本规则予以遵守外，还往往会考虑其他相关的法律规则及其价值理念。基于以上发展变化，本文认为我国可以从中获得一些深刻启示。

《监察法》实施中的若干问题与完善建议

我国《监察法》的正式颁布和顺利实施对于深入推进全面依法治国、有效促进反腐败法治化进程具有重要意义和重大影响。实地调研主要聚焦我国《监察法》实施中的四方面内容:监督权限制度、监察建议制度、监察赔偿制度和特约监察员制度。从国家监察体制改革法治化进程角度考量,应从以下途径予以完善:首先,建议明确监察机关的监督方式以及厘清内设机构的监督职权;其次,建议明确监察建议的基本内涵、主要内容和适用程序三方面内容;再次,建议明确监察赔偿的概念内涵、归责原则、构成要件与具体程序;最后,建议从国家立法层面制定专门的《特约监察员法》,统一规范特约监察员的选任条件、职责范围、职务保障等。
