民事诉讼专家辅助人的功能实现——以医疗损害责任纠纷案件展开

The Realization of the Function of Civil Litigation Expert Assessor——Start with Medical Damage Liability Dispute Cases

2012年《民事诉讼法》规定了专家辅助人出庭的两个功能,但实务中该两个功能的实现并不充分。在此背景下,借医疗损害责任纠纷案件,探求专家辅助人功能适用中的现状,尤其是案涉专门性问题无法委托鉴定时,如何借力专家辅助人的第二功能而解决该专门性问题。分析发现,法院对专家辅助人意见的采用过于依赖专家辅助人的站位或资历,且专家辅助人制度启动程序单一。因此,专家辅助人功能之实现,应当注重专家辅助人的专业性;应允许法院组织专家辅助人就相关专门性问题进行论证,且该专家论证意见同样应当属于“专家意见”而非“当事人陈述”。

The 2012“Civil Procedure Law”stipulated the two functions of expert assessor to appear in court,but the realization of these two functions is insufficient in practice.In this context,this article uses medical damage liability dispute cases to explore the current status of the application of the expert assessor's function,especially when the case involves special problems that cannot be entrusted for appraisal,how to solve the special issues by using the second function of expert assessor.It is found that the court relies too much on the position or qualification of the expert assessor,and the starting procedure of the expert assessor system is single.Therefore,the realization of the function of the expert assessor should focus on the professionalism of the expert assessor;the court should be allowed to organize the expert assessor to demonstrate the relevant specialized issues,and the expert's argumentation opinion should also fall with“expert opinion”rather than the“party statement”.
