习惯在我国民法体系中的应有地位

Custom's Deserved Position in Civil Law System of China

民法典具有不合目的性、不周延性、滞后性等自身无法克服的缺陷,而习惯的地域性、广泛性、非正式性等特征决定了其可以弥补民法典的固有缺陷,因此我们将来的民法典应该将习惯列为民法渊源。我们应该在进行全国范围习惯调查的基础上将符合要求的习惯通过加工、设计融入我们未来的民法典,而不应该急功近利的一味移植国外法律。在司法实践中,习惯应该作为证明对象看待,由主张援引某习惯的当事人负责举证,当然法院有查证的权力。

The civil code has some unconquerable defects,which are unconformity with normal ends,undistributed,hysteresis quality and so on.But the characteristics of customs,which are regional,comprehensive,informal and so on,determined that customs could remedy the inherent defects of civil code,so we should confirm that the custom is a source of civil law.We have to inquire into customs in the whole country first,and choose satisfactory customs,then integrate customs into the civil code through handling and designing.We shouldn＇t be eager for quick success and instant benefit to copy west laws blindly.During judicial practice,customs are objects of proof,which who quotes them should prove them.Of course,the court has power to check and testify.
