论民事诉讼的证明标准

On the Standard of Evidence of the Civil Action

长久以来,我国三大诉讼采用同一证明标准的做法不仅无视各诉讼之间的本质差别,也人为地提高了民事诉讼的证明标准,拖延了案件的审理。由于各自所保护利益性质的不同,民事诉讼理应采用不同于刑事诉讼与行政诉讼的证明标准,但究竟是选用"盖然性占优势"还是"高度盖然性"的标准,在我国的司法改革中却争论不休。

It has been a long-time practice that the same standard of evidence is used in enforcing the three kinds of legal actions , which not only mirrors disregard to the distinctions among the legal actions, but also raises the standard of evidence in civil action and delays holding pleas. Based on the different nature of the protected interests, a different standard of evidence should be adopted in civil action to distinguish itself from the criminal action and executive action. It is still at issue in the judiciary reform whether superior probability or high probability should be adopted.
