法律適用的不確定性與司法裁判的價值指引——兼議法官應當如何裁判案件

Uncertainty in Application of Law and Value Guidance of Judicial Adjudication--On Adjudication of Cases

一、法律適用具有不確定性嗎?在知識産權法及競争法司法領域,對於一些案件而言,法律適用的不確定性較爲明顯。近年來,"王老吉與加多寶紅罐案"、~1"喬丹案"、~2"非誠勿擾案"~3等,從起訴開始直到最終審結,學術界、司法界甚至普通公衆均議論紛紛、熱烈討論且積極預測結果。其中前兩案一直打到最高人民法院,才由最高司法機關一槌定音,而上述案件一審、二審乃至再審結果變化很大,實難給社會穩定的預期感。

I.Is the application of law uncertain?In the judicial field of intellectual property law and competition law,uncertainty in application of law is more obvious in some cases.In recent years,the Red Can case(Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group v.JDB Group)1,the Jordan case 2,the alf You Are The Onew case 3,etc.have provoked heated debates in academic and judicial circles and even among the public:people discussed about them and tried to predict the outcomes from the very beginning to the end of the lawsuits.The first two cases were long-drawn and eventually decided by the highest judicial authority-the Supreme Court;however,the judgments in the first and the second instance,or even retrials were greatly different and hardly predictable for the public.
