诉讼中的对抗与合作

Adversary and Cooperation in Proceedings

诉讼对抗是诉讼的结构性因素,诉讼当事人的双方被置于相互对立、相互抗争的地位上并展开攻击和防御活动,以发现案件真实。对抗的弊端是:过度对抗引起诉讼拖延,对抗加大了诉讼成本,对抗发现真实功能的发挥越来越有限。近年来,诉讼合作迅速兴起,有利于兼顾当事人各方的利益,提高诉讼效率,节约诉讼成本,促进和谐社会的形成。坚持诉讼对抗与诉讼合作并重,是我国司法改革的方向。

Adversary in preceedings is a structural element of legal actions, in which litigant parties attack and defend with each other in opposite positions to reveal case facts. Disadvantages of adversary include： excessive adversary, may result in action delay and increase lawsuit cost, and its function to find truth becomes less effective. In recent years, cooperation in proceedings rises rapidly. It is helpful to take litigant parties＇ interests into consideration, enhance proceding efficiency, reduce cost and promote the realization of harmonious society. Equally emphasizing both adversary and cooperation should be the direction of our judicial reform.
