论利益衡量的阶段性

On the Two Stages of Interests Balancing

利益衡量贯串于法律运行的整个过程,是法律中的普遍现象,也是法律的基本任务和基本方法。利益衡量分为立法和司法两个阶段,这两个阶段中的利益衡量各有不同的任务、特点和要求。立法中的利益衡量主要关注一般的、抽象的利益冲突,而司法中的利益衡量则涉及个案中特殊的、具体的利益冲突。对这两个阶段的区分是正确理解和运用利益衡量方法的前提。

Interests-balancing runs through the whole operating process of legal system. Interests-balancing is a general phenomenon in law, and it is also a basic aim and a basic method of law. Interests-balancing is both in enactment stage and judicature stage, which have different tasks, characters and requirements. Interests-balancing in enactment primarily focuses on general and abstract interests, while interests-balancing in judicature refers to specific and particular interests. To make a distinction between these two stages is a precondition for the comprehension and operation of interests-balancing method.
