审判公开思想与修订《民事诉讼法》的几个基本关系定位

The Idea of Public Trials and the Amendment to the Civil Procedure Act

审判公开不仅具有向社会公开的要求,更具有向当事人作实质性公开的内涵,正是这一反秘密审判、促进诉讼民主的本质内涵,使之应当成为我国修订《民事诉讼法》的指导思想和基本原则。以此为前提,审判公开思想对于修订《民事诉讼法》的具体指导作用和意义表现在三个方面:一是促进对当事人诉讼权利和诉讼义务规定的完善;二是促成对辩论原则法律地位、作用重新定位和对辩论原则具体内容的完善;三是促进民事诉讼程序按照审判公开的理念予以完善。

A public trial is not only open to the society,but also allows the parties to know some substantive information of the case.Opposite to a closed trial,it benefits the democracy of litigations.Thus,the idea of public trials should become the leading thought and fundamental principle in amending the Civil Procedure Act of the PRC.The idea has three significances: 1) It is conducive to the laying down of the parties litigious rights and duties thoroughly.2) It is conducive to the reconsideration of the legal status and functions of the adversary system and to the improvement of the system.3) It is conducive to the improvement of the civil litigation procedures in accordance with the idea of open trials.
