论我国鉴定人屏蔽作证制度的法理基础

新《刑事诉讼法》规定,鉴定意见应经质证才能作为定案依据.这一刚性规定促使鉴定人必须履行出庭作证义务,从而提高了鉴定意见证据效力对质证程序的依赖程度,鉴定人出庭作证制度的完善就格外重要.鉴定人屏蔽作证方式为这一问题的探寻提供了微观视角,我国已经存在证人屏蔽作证的司法实践,但是对于鉴定人屏蔽作证的正当性还存在争议,而这些争议实质上是鉴定人屏蔽作证与传统诉讼法原理的冲突与解决,具体反映在鉴定人屏蔽作证应当遵循的原则、程序设置、配套措施等方面.

On the Legal Basis of Anonymous Appraiser System

The new Criminal Procedure Law provides that,appraiser opinions must be subject to cross-examination before being used as evidence to decide a case.This provision urges the appraiser to fulfill the obligation to testify in court,and thus enhances the dependence of the effectiveness of expert opinions on cross-examination procedures.Therefore,improving the appraiser testimony system is very important.Discussing on the anonymous appraiser system provides a micro perspective for this issue.China has judicial practice on anonymous witness,but the legitimacy of the anonymous appraiser testimony is still controversial.In essence,these controversies lie in the conflict between the anonymous appraiser and the traditional procedural law principles.The solutions of the conflict are reflected in the principle of the anonymous appraiser,procedure design,and supporting measures.
