论当代民事证据法的范围与任务

证据法是独立于实体法与诉讼法的法律范畴，界定当代民事证据法的范围需要协调证据法与实体法、诉讼法的关系，要在证据规则与法官自由裁量之间寻求平衡。将证据实体规则作为民事证据法的主要内容包括证据能力、证据证明力、证明标准以及证明责任的有关规定。当代民事证据法的基本任务是在实现事实认定的准确性的基础之上保障诉讼效率并协调司法证明过程中的价值冲突。

The Scope and Role of Contemporary Civil Evidence Act

The Civil Evidence Act is independent of the substantive law and procedural law. Defining the scope of it needs to coordinate the relationship between the substantive law and the procedural law and strikes a balance between rules of evidence and the discretion. The substantive rules of evidence constitutes the major content of Civil Evidence Act, including the rules of competency of evidence, the probative force of evidence, standard of proof and burdens of proof. So the role of contemporary Civil Evidence Act is to protect litigation efficiency and coordinate the conflict of values in the course of judicial process based on achieving findings of fact.
