经济体制变迁中的最高人民法院(1949-1978年)

Supreme Court in Vicissitude of Economic System (1949-1978)

在计划经济体制下 ,最高人民法院的主要任务不是进行具体的经济决策 ,而是以不同形式为政治服务。最高人民法院在中央各机关关系中处于被边缘化的位置 ,甚至审判与行政权力并没有严格的界限。从经济变迁来看 ,计划经济体制导致最高人民法院过于集权化 ,进而加强对下级法院的控制 ;而在市场经济的形成过程中 ,最高人民法院与地方法院的关系需要从集权转向一定程度的分权 。

In planned economy system, Supreme Court almost had no function of regulating economy, but served regime construction. Supreme Court was on the edge among different central departments, and didn't strictly differentiate jurisdiction and judicial administration. Supreme Court became centralization, and strengthened to control lower courts. With planned economy system changing into market economy system, the relationship between Supreme Court and lower courts should change from centralization to decentralization to a certain degree, which makes the courts at all levels have powers to make public policies.
