传闻证据规则的基本问题及其在我国的适用

Hearsay Rules:Basic Issues and Application in China

传闻证据规则是普通法系国家一项重要的证据规则,原则上要求排除传闻证据。在我国确立这一规则对倡导证人出庭、遏制书面证言泛滥有积极意义。但是单纯地引进该规则并不能直接全面解决以上问题。我们必须考察传闻证据规则的制度背景及其在我国的适应性。只有结合本国情况,继承性地进行司法改革才能有效地解决本土问题。

Hearsay rules, as important rules of evidence in common law countries, exclude hearsay evidence in principle. Establishing such rules will encourage witnesses to testify in court, and reduce the flagrant use of written testimony. Introducing such rules alone, however, cannot solve the above-mentioned problem. We have research into the rules＇ system background and their adaptability in China before we can do some introduction. Only by taking into account our actual situation and conducting judicial reform upon inheritance can we effectively resolve our own problem.
