处在十字路口的法院经费保障体制

The court fund guarantee system in crossroads:worsen or better

现行法院经费保障体制的弊端导致经济欠发达地区法院经费困难,而《诉讼费用交纳办法》的实施势必造成作为弥补法院经费不足重要补充的诉讼费收入大幅度减少,由此可能致使法院经费愈发捉襟见肘、雪上加霜。同时,这种严重依赖地方财政的法院经费保障体制也是造成法院难以真正独立行使审判权的最主要体制性缺陷之一。改革现行法院经费保障体制,构建符合我国国情的司法预算制度是当前司法体制改革的当务之急。

The abuse of current court funds guarantee system leads to court funds difficulty in undeveloped areas. The implementation of ＂Legal Costs Regulation＂ definitely brings about considerable reduction of the funds of action to make up complementary insufficient court funds costs. As a result, court funds will be more insufficient. At the same time, the system which depends on the local finance damages the judicial independ- ence and authority. Reforming current court funds guarantee system and structuring the judiciary budget system according to China＇s national conditions are urgent tasks in judicial reform.
