我国民事判决既判力的范围研究

大陆法系既判力制度的核心内容是关于既判力范围的法律规范。既判力的范围包括主观范围、客观范围和时间范围。就主观范围和客观范围而言,我国与大陆法系国家基本一致,但是我国的相关法律规定零散而模糊,具体内容亦有不少不合理处,容易导致既判力在司法实践中的不当扩张。就时间范围而言,我国法律未有规定,导致司法实践中处理相关问题无法可依。为有利于实现民事诉讼解决纠纷的目的和维护法的安定性,我国应当参照大陆法系国家的既判力范围,就既判力的范围作出系统、明确和合理的规定。

The Scopes of Res Judicata in China''''s Civil Decisions

The key point of res judicata in the Continental law system concerns the legal norms within the scope of res judicata, which includes the subjective scope, the objective scope and the time scope. As for the subjective scope and the objective scope, we have nearly the same ideas as our counterparts in Continental law system countries. But unfortunately the relevant laws and regulations in China are, comparatively, vague and scattered, and some specified provisions are irrational, which may cause the abuse of res judicata in judicial practice. As for the time scope, no relevant laws have ever been enacted in China, which means that no laws can be turned to while we are solving problems concerned in practice. In order to accomplish the purposes of civil litigations and maintain the smooth going of the law, China should make systematic, definite and rational provisions for the scopes of res judicata based on the experiences of the Continent law countries.
