公共利益的界定及程序保障之设置——以规范我国征收征用制度为考察目的

The definition of public interest and the establishment of procedure guarantee——to standardize the expropriation system in China

为了公共利益的需要是行政征收征用的前置要件,今年新出台的《物权法》也规定了我国的征收征用制度必须是为了公共利益的需要。然而,在我国现行的法律制度中,对"公共利益"并未做出明确的界定,这不仅容易造成地方政府对"公共利益需要"的滥用,而且还会损害相关利害关系人的合法权益。我国应当通过立法对公共利益的内涵和外延做大致界定,并通过正当程序的设置,进一步保障有关公共利益的法律界定得以实现,以规范行政征收征用行为。

The administrative expropriation shall be presupposed by the aim of meeting the requirements of pub- lic interest, which has also been stipulated in the new Real Right Law this year. However, the concept of “public interest” is not expressly defined in our present system of laws. Consequently, it may make the “public interest” open to abuse and even jeopardize other concerned parties′ legitimate rights. In this sense, the intension and extension of public interest should be at least roughly defined through legislation, which shah be rein, forced and ensured by establishing proper procedures, to aim at standardizing the administrative expropriation.
