《海事诉讼特别程序法》修订的必要性、可行性及规划建议

The necessity,feasibility and proposal of the revision of Chinese Maritime Procedure Law

《海事诉讼特别程序法》颁布实施已有17年,17年的海事诉讼实践证明:《海事诉讼特别程序法》是一部基本满足我国海事审判需要,能够保证我国《海商法》实施,既符合海事诉讼规律,又体现中国法律特点,还与国际接轨的程序法。但不可否认:经海事审判实践检验,《海事诉讼特别程序法》的个别规定存在一定的问题;随着社会发展和科学技术的进步,《海事诉讼特别程序法》的一些规定也显得跟不上时代的步伐;近年来我国相关法律发生了相当大的变化,《海事诉讼特别程序法》还需要与之协调。

Chinese Maritime Procedure Law has been adopted for 17 years.In its implementation for 17 years,Chinese Maritime Procedure Law played a role of milestone in maintaining the litigation rights,ensuring the ascertaining of facts by the people’s courts,distinguishing right from wrong,applying the law correctly and trying maritime cases promptly.At the same time,the maritime shipping and trading situation in China and in the world have undergone a significant development.The admiralty judicial practice has demonstrated the existence of ambiguities,uncertainties and gaps in some aspects in Chinese Maritime Procedure Law.All these well prove the necessities for the updating of Chinese Maritime Procedure Law by way of revision thereof.
