制度环境、预期和效率——民事审限制度改革的新视角

Institutional Environment,Expectations and Efficiency——A New Perspective of the Reform of the System of Civil Trial Periods

民事审限制度作为一项具体的民事诉讼制度,面临着"存"与"废"之争论,改革之声也此起彼伏。从制度经济学的有关理论和公共选择经济学这个视角进行分析,民事审限制度只是民事诉讼这一"制度群"里的一项具体制度,有其存在的制度环境,而且能实现其制度预期,不应废止。但是民事审限延长制度因其责任主体违法处罚制度的缺失,以及审限延长理由的过于抽象性的规定,存在监管真空,极易出现司法腐败,有碍提高司法效率,因此亟需进行改革和完善。

The system of civil trial periods is facing a debate of abolition and reform as a specific system.The system should not be abolished because it has its own system environment,but also achieve its value from the point of view of the relevant economics theories and public choice economics.However,it should be reformed because of the absence of the main illegal penalty system,as well as the abstract provisions.
