诉的合并有关问题的思考——兼论提高民事诉讼效率的有效途径

<title>Reflections on Amalgamated Action--additionally on effective measures to improve the efficiency of civil lawsuits

诉的合并需要界定清楚两个界限:一是诉的合并所针对的是"事"而非"人",因而诉的合并不存在主体合并的问题;二是诉的合并不同于诉讼请求的合并,两者具有本质的区别。厘清诉的合并的界限,意在为完善诉的合并制度提供有益的理论根据。诉的合并应当是民事诉讼法上的一项制度,其对于提高民事诉讼效率、实现诉讼经济具有重要的作用,为此,我国立法应当从各类诉的提起程序、诉的合并的不同效力规范、诉的合并条件等三方面完善诉的合并制度。

<Abstrcat>It is necessary to clarify two ideas in relation to amalgamated actions. First, the object of amalgamation is'things'not'beings', so the problem of subject amalgamation is of no existence. Second, the amalgamation of action is essentially different from that of lawsuit claim. This clarification is meant to provide a theoretic base for amalgamation institution perfection, which is vital to civil lawsuit efficiency promotion and which can be achieved from three aspects. 
