我国民事案件证明责任分配规则解读

On Principles of the Distribution for the Burden of Proof in Civil Cases of China

我国民事诉讼中,证明责任一词与举证责任相当,具有主观证明责任与客观证明责任双重含义。证明责任制度的核心问题是证明责任分配。最高人民法院于2001年12月颁布的《关于民事诉讼证据的若干规定》第二条至第七条规定了我国民事诉讼证明责任的3项分配原则。对相关规则只有正确理解才能正确适用,公平、公正地处理民事案件。

The nature of the burden of proof has two meanings: the burden of going forward with evidence together with the risk of non persuasion. The distribution of the Burden of proof is the core for the theory of burden of proof. The Supreme Court has carried out The Several Provisions on Evidence in Civil Proceedings. From Section 2 till 7 of the several provisions have set up three principles of the distribution of the burden of proof in civil proceedings of China. Merely understand the nature of the principles, we can handle civil case fairly.
