法国法律解释权配置的历史考察

Historical Study on Legal Interpretation of Power Distribution in France

法国法律解释权的配置状况对当今大陆法系国家的法律解释体制和司法制度产生了重要影响。法兰西王国时期,当时的客观情况决定了法律解释权由不同主体行使发展为由最高司法机关行使。自由资本主义时期,由于深受资产阶级革命的影响,立法者掌握了法律解释权。进入垄断资本主义时期以来,社会的变化、法学的发展和法典自身的不足使得法院和法官逐渐握有法律解释权。

The distribution of France＇ s power of legal interpretation has a major impact on those countries of the continental law system. During the kingdom of France period, objective situation determined that the power of legal interpretation was exercised by different subjects which later developed as the organs with the highest judicial authority. In period of laissez - faire capitalism, because of the major impact by bourgeois revolution, legislator, controlled the power of legal interpretation. After entering into monopolistic capitalism period, as the changes of so- ciety, the development of jurisprudence and the defect of code itself, courts and justices began to have the power of legal interpretation.
