民事诉讼诚信原则的可适用性

Applicability of Principle of Good Faith in Civil Action

与西方国家诉讼诚信原则构建于辩论主义基础上不同,我国新民事诉讼法增设的诉讼诚信原则仅考虑了遏制恶意诉讼的现实需要。从狭义上解读与适用这一原则,不利于发挥其在事实发现、诉讼促进等方面的调整作用,阻碍了这一原则对民事诉讼整体的贡献。诉讼诚信原则在适用中必须处理好与具体条款和其他诉讼原则的关系,通过补充性和个别化调整的途径,寻找适用的切入点。在适用方法上,直接方法用于对诉讼行为的判断,间接方法则通过宣示作用来强化对诉讼主体的心理约束,最终服务于诚信诉讼的建设。

Compared to Western countries, the principle of good faith added to and stipulated in new civil procedure law only considers the realistic requirement of containing malicious action. If we interpret and apply the principle of good faith in a narrow sense, the principle of good faith will not play the role of adjustment in finding the facts and promoting civil actions, and the contributions of this principle will be hindered. The ap- plication of principle of good faith must be in conformity with specific provisions and other litigation principles, and find the appropriate entry point through its complementary role and specific adjustment. In order to make sure the principle of good faith can finally service to the construction of good faith in action, the application methods of the principle can be divided into two types： the direct method can be used for judging acts in ac- tion; while and the indirect method can be used for reinforcing the psychological constraints through the decla- ration of the principle.
