Japanese Civil Procedure Studies:Methodologies and Prospects(Part Ⅰ)

本文聚焦于“日本民事诉讼法学的方法论及解释方法论”。首先讨论了与民法学相比,日本民事诉讼法学中“未见方法论”的理由。其次,以三月章对兼子理论的批判为切入点,围绕兼子理论与三月章理论在研究视角与研究方法上的对立,分别探讨了“以权利为中心”的兼子民诉法理论和“以制度为中心”的三月章民诉法理论。进一步研讨了新堂幸司提出的“利益考量论”的含义及意义。最后探讨了“程序保障第三波理论”的方法论意义。

In this article,we focus on the methodologies in Japan's civil procedure studies and interpretations.Firstly,we explore the reason why there is relatively a lack of methodology in civil procedure studies in comparison with the studies on civil law.Secondly,proceeding with Akira Mikazuki's criticism of Hajime Kaneko's theory,we analyze the conflicts between these two theorists in terms of the research perspective and method and in particular the difference between Mikazuki's system-centered theory and Kaneko's rights-centered theory on civil procedures.Thirdly,we discuss the connotation and significance of Koji Shindo's theory of consideration of interests.Finally,we conclude the first part one of our discussion with the exploration of the methodological significance in the theory of the third wave in procedural protection.
