"促进社会和谐稳定"是《侵权责任法》的立法目的之一。适应其要求,《侵权责任法》在强化保护弱者、关切社会秩序、责任集体化、责任综合化等方面发生了转型。该目的影响了侵权归责,贯穿于责任构成和效果之中。其适宜成为裁判的间接理由,可依之展开目的解释和利益衡量;也容易导致审判不独立、出现裁判错误、说理不充分。

As the legal aim of Tort Liability Law of the People＇s Republic of China,to promote social harmony and stability could be Tort Law＇s public purpose,pursuit of social order and principle of Tort Law. The aim demands the following transition of Chinese Tort Liability Law： to protect the underprivileged,Shaping Social Order,the collectivization of liabilityand comprehensive effects of liability. The legislative purpose has an impact on judicial practice and tort liability attribution. Courts often take social harmony and stability into account when considering tort liability attribution and its legal effects. The abuse of the application of ＂Promoting Social Harmony and Stability＂could lead to trials which lack of independence,give wrong judgment and make inadequate reasoning.
