环境侵权因果关系认定方法新探——以谢某诉江苏天楹赛特环保能源集团有限公司大气污染侵权案为背景

New Method of Determining Environmental Tort of Causation——Air Pollution Infringement Case about Xiemou's Changing of Jiangsu Tianyingsaite Green Energy Company as the Background

鉴于环境侵权的特殊性和谢某诉江苏天楹赛特环保能源集团有限公司大气污染侵权案的判决可以发现环境侵权举证责任倒置仍有一定局限性。域外环境侵权因果关系认定的方法主要采用"比例因果关系说"、"盖然性说"、"疫学因果关系说"和"不确定原告说"。这些方法均有一定的局限性,采用"新盖然性说"为一个有益的尝试。

From the specificity of environmental tort and the judgment of air pollution infringement case in which Xiemou charges Jiangsu Tianyingsaite Green Energy Company,it can be found that the inversion of proof responsibility of environmental tort still has some limitations. In other countries, the determination of causation about environmental tort use ＂proportional causation doctrine＂, ＂probability doctrine＂, ＂epidemio- logical causality doctrine＂ and ＂ uncertain plaintiffs doctrine＂. These methods also have some limitations, however, using ＂new probability doctrine＂ may be a useful attempt.
