环境侵害下的我国的代表人诉讼制度:功能局限与制度创新

Chinese Representative Action from Perspective of Environmental Damage: Functional Defect and Institutional Innovation

我国的代表人诉讼制度通过集中行使当事人诉权的方式,克服了传统的个人诉讼在解决环境侵害纠纷方面的不足。但是,与西方国家的集团诉讼制度相比,我国的代表人诉讼制度仍存在固有的功能缺陷,仍不能完全适应环境侵害纠纷之解决的需要。改革我国的代表人诉讼制度势在必行。

By concentrating the litigious rights of the litigation parties, the representative action in China overcomes the defects in the settlement of environmental disputes. Comparing with the class action in the west countries, the representative action in China remains defective in function, which can not meet the need to settle the environmental disputes in China. Therefore, it is imperative to reform the representative action in China.
