指导性案例的法源意义与确认路径——以最高人民法院公布的私法性指导性案例为研究对象

《最高人民法院关于案例指导工作的规定》确立了我国案例指导制度,由于该规定相关内容的模糊性,产生了两个需要回答的问题,一是指导性案例与英美法系判例法是否存在相同的裁判逻辑与法律效力,进而指导性案例是否具有法源意义;二是指导性案例的功能是对法官自由裁量权的控制,还是应该重视从法解释学层面去理解。建议以民法解释学为视角对最高人民法院公布的私法性指导性案例进行梳理和剖析,明确私法性指导性案例具有确认和发现法规则的功能和价值。从"法与法律区别"的自然法观视角,认为私法性指导性案例所确认和发现的法规则在我国当代具有私法法源意义。最后,从解释论和立法论两个方面,提出私法性指导性案例确认和发现的法规则的法源地位确认路径和具体建议。

The Supreme Court Rules on Case Guiding Opinions has established the system for case guid-ance, however due to certain ambiguities, there are still two questions to answer. Firstly, whether the guidingcases have the same logic of judgment and legal effects as the case law in common law system, further to say,whether the guiding cases have the effect of source of laws Secondly, whether the function of guiding case is tocontrol the discretion of judges or to construe from the interpretation of laws From the perspective of civil lawinterpretation, this paper aims to analyze the guiding cases of private law issued by the Supreme Court and toexplicate that the guiding cases of private law have the function and value to confirm and discover legal rules.From the natural law perspective to discover the distinction between ＂the law and laws＂, this paper holds thatthe guiding cases of private law have the effect of source of law in Chinese private law. Finally, from the per-spectives of interpretation and legislation theories, this paper proposes the recognition path and specific sugges-tions to the assertion that the guiding cases of private law can confirm and discover legal rules.
