日本要件事实论纲——一种民事诉讼思维的展开

On the Theory of Japanese Ultimate Facts

与日本司法研修制度相伴而随的要件事实论,是对德国的证明责任理论的改造,具有指导当事人攻击防御的机能。要件事实论作为民事诉讼的实践命题,对以辩论主义为导向的我国民事诉讼制度改革有借鉴意义。

Concomitant with Japanese judicial investigation system, the theory of ultimate facts rebuilds Ger- man theory of burden of proof and performs the function of leading the parties to offense and defense in litigation. As a practical proposition in the field of civil litigation, it is an instructive theory for the debating-doctrine-oriented reformation of civil litigation system in China.
