破解“送达难”困局:从住址送达到电子送达

Tackling the “Difficulty in Service” Dilemma: From Address Service to Electronic Service

在人口流动不断加速、电子诉讼日益成熟的背景下,民事诉讼中的送达制度也面临重大改革,即从以住址为中心的传统送达逐渐向以"网络地址"为中心的电子送达转变。电子送达具有节约司法资源、高效、便利、规范性强等优势,被越来越多地应用到司法实践中,为克服司法"送达难"带来了希望。与此同时,电子送达并不能"包治百病",当下电子送达制度尚不成熟,对当事人的权利保障是否到位还存在争议。今后,应当从优化电子送达制度、推广集约送达模式、充分利用社会资源、加强送达技术保障等方面入手,解决司法送达难题。

In the context of accelerating population mobility and increasingly mature electronic litigation, the system for service of process in civil litigation also faces a major reform, that is, from the traditional address-centered service to the electronic service of process centered on "network address". Electronic service of process has the advantages of judicial resource saving, high efficiency, convenience and standardization, etc., and is increasingly used in judicial practice, bringing hope to the settlement of judicial service difficulties. However, electronic service cannot solve all problems, since the electronic service system remains immature and whether the rights of the parties are properly protected is still controversial. In the future, the solution to the difficulty in judicial service should start from the optimization of electronic service system, the promotion of the intensive service mode, full use of social resources, and strengthened technical security for service, among other aspects.
