对"齐玉苓案"相关问题的法律思考

最高法院关于齐玉苓一案的批复涉及到对宪法第46条的解释,而根据我国宪法的规定,最高法院并没有解释宪法的权力。齐玉苓一案不需要直接适用宪法,不必用宪法去解决一个用法律就能解决的问题,该案件的性质是民事诉讼,而不是宪法诉讼。尽管如此,齐玉苓一案以及最高法院的批复对推进中国宪政体制改革仍然有积极意义。

A Legal Reflection upon the Issues Concerned with "Qi Yu-ling Case"

The Supreme Justice Court's "comments in reply" on Qi Yu-ling case is concerned with the explanation of the 46th clause of the Chinese Constitution, but in fact the Supreme Justice Court has not a right to interpret it according to the definition of the Constitution. Qu Yu-ling case does not need to be applied with the Constitution, and it does not seem necessary to recourse to the Constitution to solve a problem that can be given a solution by means of law too. This case in nature is a lawsuit, but not a constitutional litigation. Nonetheless, Qu Yu-ling case and the "comments in reply" by the Supreme Justice Court are still quite significant to push forward the reform in the constitutional institution in China.
