民事诉讼宣誓制度探析

Probe into Oath Institution In Civil Lawsuit

宣誓制度西方国家早已有之。在我国民事诉讼中设立宣誓制度有利于防止伪证产生,有利于提高人民法院的办案质量。司法实践中对此亦作出有益尝试和探索。我国民事诉讼中宣誓的主体应包括当事人和证人;宣誓应在进入庭审阶段后一审法庭辩论终止前进行;誓词的设计应区别于西方国家;宣誓的形式应采用我国传统的宣誓习惯;拒不宣誓和虚假宣誓者应承担法律责任。

Oath institution,which appeared in the west originally, is necessary to prevent giving false testimony and to improve the quality of handling cases. Establishing oath institution in our civil lawsuit is a meaningful try.
