诚信原则在民事证据法上的适用

The Application of Good Faith Doctrine in Civil Evidence Law

诚信原则在民法与民事诉讼法上具有十分重要的地位,其在民事证据法领域的适用在最高人民法院《关于民事诉讼证据 的若干规定》中有所体现。现行立法关于举证时限与证据失权、证人真实义务、举证责任分配与证据审查判断的相关规则在一定程度 上体现了诚信原则之精神,但远非完善。为了促进民事司法公正与效率的实现,不仅要确立诚信原则在立法上的原则地位,而且要将 其转化为可以操作的具体规范、建立完善的诚信规则体系。

The good faith doctrine plays a very important role in civil law and civil procedural law. The application of good faith doctrine in civil evidence law is reflected in Prescriptions on Civil Procedural Evidence of the Supreme People＇s Court. The current law system prescribes principles about validity of adducing evidence and evidential loss of right, witness＇ real liability, burden of adducing evidence and evidence examination and judgment, but far from perfection. In order to promote the realization of civil judicial fairness and efficiency, the good faith doctrine should be established in legislation.
