民事证据法的目的

目的论对于制定和解释民事证据法具有重要的指导意义。民事证据法的目的可以分为根本目的与其他目的两个层次。发现真实是根本目的 ,其他目的包括诉讼效率、程序公正、解决纠纷、保护其他权益。不同目的之间既有兼容关系 ,也存在着紧张和冲突。当诸目的出现冲突时 ,一般应当本着既有利促进实现根本目的又能兼顾其他目的的原则来制定证据规则。在处理当事人收集证据与法院调查取证、举证期限、非法证据排除、释明义务等问题时 ,应当充分考虑根本目的的要求。

The purpose theory plays a guiding role in the legislation and interpretation of the Civil Evidence Law. The purpose of Civil Evidence Law can be divided into two levels, among which the fundamental purpose is to find the truth and the other purposes include the efficiency of litigation, justice of procedure, settling the disputes, as well as protecting other interests. There exist both compatibility and contradictions among all these purposes. When they conflict, we should generally stick to the principle of emphasizing on the realization of fundamental purpose and simultaneously giving attention to other purposes. We should also fully consider the demand of the fundamental purpose when dealing with the problems of the collection of evidences by the clients and the judge, the time limit of adducing evidence, the exclusion of illegal evidences, as well as the judges' obligation of illustration.
