对医疗损害责任纠纷案件中专家辅助人制度之运用的实证考察——以60例案为观察对象

Empirical Investigation on the Application of the Expert Assistant System in Medical Damage Liability Disputes——Taking 60 Cases as Observation Objects

从医疗损害责任纠纷案件分析,得见专家辅助人制度在司法实践中的运用存在专家辅助人的参与率低和意见被法庭采纳率低的问题;其原因在于专家辅助人的来源有限、当事人对专家辅助人制度认识不足、法院对专家辅助人意见审查不充分和专家辅助人意见证明力较低;故完善专家辅助人制度的相应建议是畅通当事人聘请专家辅助人的渠道、建立专家辅助人资格审查制度、明确法院对专家辅助人意见的审查要求和进一步明确专家辅助人意见的证据性质。

From the analysis of medical damage liability dispute cases, it is found that the application of expert assistant system in judicial practice has the problems of low participation rate of expert assistant and low acceptance rate of opinions by the court. And the reasons are that the sources of expert assistants are limited, the parties have insufficient knowledge of expert assistant system, the court does not review the opinions of expert assistants sufficiently and the expert assistants’ opinions have low proof power. Therefore, the corresponding suggestions to improve expert assistant system are to smooth the channels for the parties to hire expert assistants, establish the qualification examination system of expert assistants, clarify the review requirements of the court on the opinions of expert assistants,and further clarify the nature of expert assistants’ evidence.
