论民事证据法上的诚信原则

On Sincerity Principle in Civil Evidence System

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,不仅应该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,以建立完善的诚信规则体系。

Sincerity principle, which plays an important civil evidence system by the Supreme People＇s Court role in civil procedural law was established as part of in the document“Several Regulations concerning Civil Lawsuit Evidence”. Regulations about the time limit of evience, obligation of witness, responsibility for producing evidence and investigations on evidence in the present legislation is still imperfect although it, to a certain extent, reflects sincerity principle. Feasible regulations concerning sincerity principle have to be made so as to imorove the efficiency and Justice of civil Judicature and establish a perfect sincerity principle system.
