繁简分流改革下的小额诉讼程序:适用困境与完善进路

Petty Litigation Procedure under the Reform of Complex and Simple Diversion:Applicable Dilemma and Improvement Approach

为应对“案多人少”的司法审判压力,域外相关国家设计了小额法庭、一期日审理原则、小额索赔程序等进行案件分流,从而减轻诉讼压力,提高审判效率,促进司法正义。立案登记制下的中国司法面临着大量审判任务,简案快办、集约审判都亟须小额诉讼程序释放更多的程序效能。但是,程序适用率偏低、效率优势不明显、转换率较高的运行弊病掣肘着小额诉讼程序效能的发挥。所以,完善小额诉讼程序势在必行。

In order to cope with the judicial pressure of“many cases and few people”,some related extraterritorial countries have designed small claims courts,one-period trial principles,small claims procedures,etc.to divert cases,so as to reduce the pressure of litigation,improve the efficiency of trials,and promote the realization of justice justice.China's judicial system under the registration system is faced with a large number of trial tasks.Simple case handling and intensive trials are in urgent need of small claims procedures to release more procedural efficiency.However,the low application rate of procedures,insignificant efficiency advantages,and high conversion rates restrict the effectiveness of the small-sum litigation procedures.Therefore,it is imperative to improve the small claims procedure.
