论我国行政诉讼调解制度的可行性与非必要性

2014年11月1日,十二届全国人大第十一次会议表决通过了关于修改《行政诉讼法》的决定,新的《行政诉讼法》将从2015年5月1日起开始实施,这是《行政诉讼法》实施24年来的首次修改。新《行政诉讼法》第60条明确规定：＂人民法院审理行政案件,不适用调解。＂然而,行政审判实践中＂变相调解＂现象却一直没有停止过,从而导致行政案件的撤诉率居高不下,大多学者及实务界对建立行政诉讼调解制度的呼声日益高涨。不少学者对这种制度建立的可行性和必要性进行了论证。但综合考察之后,发现这些理由和根据并不充分。当前在我国建立行政诉讼调解制度不具备必要性。

On Feasibility and Non-Necessity of Administrative Lawsuit Mediation System in China

In November 1, 2014, the decision has been approved by voting to modify ＂Administrative Procedure Law＂ at the 11 th conference of the 12 th session of the National People＇s Congress. The new one will be put into action on May 1, 2015. This is the first modification in 24 years. The 60 th of articles in it stipulates that the case for people＇s court is not fit to mediation. But in the practice of administrative judgment, such ＂mediation＂ is quite common, causing high rate of withdrawal. Most scholars and practitioners have been calling for the establishment of administrative lawsuit mediation system, some of whom have already made demonstration of its necessity and feasibility. After comprehensive investigation, we found the reasons and basis are insufficient. So, it is unnecessary to establish the administrative lawsuit mediation system in China at present.
