简析行政复议机关的被告地位问题

On the Role as Defendants in Administrative Actions of Administrative Reconsideration Organ

行政复议机关能否以及在什么情况下应当作为行政诉讼的被告,虽然我国行政诉讼法及相关司法解释对此已有了明确的规定,但理论界还有不同的看法。完全肯定说与完全否定说均有明显不妥,而折中说相对而言较为合理但也还有弊端,可以考虑修改相关法条。

Scholars hold different views on whether and on what circumstances administrative reconsideration organs are eligible to play the role of defendants in administrative actions, although there are explicit provisions in the administrative procedure law of the People＇ s Republic of China and relevant judicial interpretations. The author concludes that both the absolute positive theory and the absolute negative theory are apparently flawed. The compromise theory is relatively reasonable; yet there is plenty of room to improve. The author proposes to revise relevant statutes.
