论民事诉讼中对证人证言的质证

On Examination of Testimony in Civil Procedure

当事人或其诉讼代理人在法庭上通过对证人证言进行质证,审判人员会对证人证言的真实性、合法性、关联性进行分析从而作出证人证言有无证明力及证明力大小的判断。由于我国在民事诉讼中对证人证言质证的主要法律规定存在有缺陷,导致我国在民事审判实务中对证人证言的质证流于形式。我国在民事诉讼立法上应当设立强制证人出庭作证制度和由审判长主持下的以当事人双方对证人询问为主的质证模式,才能提高对证人证言质证的质量并有利于人民法院对民事案件作出公正裁判。

Judges deeide the probative force of testimony presented at court by examining its authenticity, legality and relevance. The imperfection in the legal provisions regarding the examination of testimony in civil suit leads to the practice of such examination remaining a mere formality in actual civil jurisdiction. In our civil proce- dure, an obligatory system should be established where the witness must bring up his testimony and be cross - examined under the supervision of judicial personnel by both parties. Thus, the quality of the testimony and the level of its probative force can be improved and justified sentence be made by the court.
