我国小额诉讼与民事速裁趋同现象研究

The Study of Convergence between Small Claims Procedure and Summary Adjudication for Civil Litigation of China

我国的民事速裁和小额诉讼是在简易程序的改革过程中自发形成的产物,二者在实践中一直存在着趋同现象。简易程序改革的指导思想模糊、改革目标定位不清、立法未能及时吸收成熟的司法实践经验是造成二者趋同现象的主要原因,应从明确改革目标定位、尽快出台民事速裁的立法或司法解释、建立司法便利化改革的评价指标体系这几个方面尽快厘清民事速裁和小额诉讼的关系,使二者在今后的司法改革中发挥出各自应有的制度优势。

Our country＇s summary adjudication for civil litigation and small claims procedure are the spontaneous products of the reform about the Chinese Civil Summary Procedure, and there is always a conv- ergence phenomenon in practice between the two situations. This article, starting with the analysis of the current statutes and feature of our country＇s summary adiudication for civil litigation and small claims pro- cedure, points out that the vague guiding thoughts of Chinese civil summary procedure reform, the unclear aim of the reform, and the delay legislation of those mature judicial practice experience are the main reasons of convergence. Finally the author argues that we should clarify the relationship between the two above pro- cedures by means of clearing the aim of civil summary procedure reform, enacting laws or judicial interpre- tations about summary adjudication for civil litigation as soon as possible, and setting up evaluation index systems of judicial convenience, which will be beneficial for the two procedures to play their due institution- al advantages in the future judicial reform.
