论“半费之讼”的法律本质

The Legal Essence of Half-tuition Lawsuit

“半费之讼”本质上是法律问题而非逻辑问题。在辩论中,师徒二人预设了法官应对判决后可能引发的新案进行裁决,这违反了不告不理原则。根据不告不理原则,法官的审判职权只存在于审判过程中,判决后审判职权自然终止。因此,“半费之讼”的法官在判决后对可能由此引发的新案无权裁决。师徒二人的预设错误是“半费之讼”问题产生的根源。运用不告不理原则,以是否起诉为时间节点,可以将诉讼与民事纠纷、法官与非法官、法官职权与法官职业明确区分开来,从而将师徒二人的二难推理合法而自然地拦腰切断,“半费之讼”也就可以得到彻底解决。

The half-tuition lawsuit is essentially a legal issue rather than a logical issue.In the debate,the master and his apprentice presuppose that the judge should rule on the new case that may be triggered after his verdict,which violates the principle of not trial without complaint.According to the principle of not trial without complaint,the judge’s trial power only exists in the trial process of the case,and the trial power naturally terminates after his judgment.Therefore,the judge of half-tuition lawsuit has no right to rule on the new case that may be triggered after this judgment.Therefore,the presupposition of the master and his apprentice is wrong,which is the source of the half-tuition lawsuit problem.To use the principle of not trial without complaint,with whether to sue or not,we can clearly distinguish litigation and civil dispute,judge and non-judge,judge’s trial power and judge’s profession,thereby the dilemmas of the master and his apprentice can be cut off legally and naturally,and the half-tuition lawsuit can be completely resolved.
