民事审理的集中化研究——以庭审程序为中心

庭审是集中审理的关键,集中审理的主要内容是在开庭审理中得以落实的,审理是否实现了集中化也主要是在开庭审理阶段体现出来。对于我国是否实现了审理的集中化,还存在比较大的争议。但我国立法上并没有严格区分审前程序和庭审程序,虽然有些案件表现出来的是只经过一次庭审即告终结,但这实际上是建立在多次"非正式开庭"基础上的。而且由于"非正式开庭"喧宾夺主成为法官获取案件信息的主要渠道,开庭本身都不具有实质意义,就更谈不上有集中、连续地开庭审理的可能。有鉴于此,为了实现审理的集中化,就需要对现有的开庭审理程序进行改革和完善。

Civil Concentrated Trial: Focus on Court Procedure

Court procedure is the core of concentrated trial where the major elements of the trial represent and concentration of the trial reveals.It is still controversial whether the hearings conducted now in China can be deemed as concentrated trials. Chinese litigation law has made no rigid distinction between before court procedure and court procedure.Though some cases end after one hearing, it is indeed based on several informal hearings.Those informal hearings are becoming the main source of information for the judge which make the formal hearing unsubstantial,let alone the possibility of concentrated and continuous trials. Therefore, to have hearings concentrated a reform is badly needed.
