检察环境民事公益诉讼举证责任分配问题研究

Research on distribution of burden of proof in civil public Interest litigation of procuratorial environment

我国法律虽然对检察环境民事公益诉讼有所规定,但均未对举证责任的分配问题进行明确说明。1通过对我国当前检察环境民事公益诉讼的立法现状及司法现状进行分析,说明此类案件适用“举证责任倒置”原则于法无据,且存在司法适用混乱的情形;剖析“举证责任倒置”原则的适用条件,论证该类案件不应适用“举证责任倒置”原则;通过阐明法律要件构成说原理,说明此类案件应采用“法律要件构成说”分配举证责任。

Although China’s laws on prosecutorial environmental civil public interest litigation has provisions,but there is no clear explanation of the distribution of burden of proof.Through the analysis of the current legislative and judicial status of civil public interest litigation in China’s procuratorial environment,this paper shows that the principle of“burden of proof inversion”is not based on law and there is confusion in judicial application.This paper analyzes the application conditions of the principle of“burden of proof reversed”and proves that this kind of cases should not be applied to the principle of“burden of proof reversed”;By expounding the principle of the constitution of legal elements,this paper points out that this kind of cases should adopt the constitution of legal elements to allocate the burden of proof.
