我国诉前证据保全制度的再完善

Re-Perfection of Rules of Pre-filing Evidence Preservation

《民事诉讼法》增加规定了诉前证据保全制度,在一定程度上完善了该制度;但我国诉前证据保全制度需要进一步法典化和系统化。诉前证据保全应由证据所在地的人民法院或者对案件实体问题有管辖权的人民法院管辖。采取查封、扣押证据保全方法时,应将申请人提供担保作为诉前证据保全成立的要件;采取其他证据保全方法时,申请人是否提供担保,应由法院自由裁量。在国内的一般民事纠纷中,不应承认采取诉前证据保全措施的人民法院因采取诉前证据保全措施而取得对案件实体问题的管辖权;但在海事纠纷和涉外民事纠纷中,应当承认采取查封、扣押诉前证据保全措施的人民法院享有案件实体问题的管辖权。

Civil Procedure Laws made progress by adding the Rules of Pre-filing Evidence Preservation.However,issues are still left for further codification and systematization.The court sits in where the evidence is located or the court has jurisdiction over substantive questions shall review the application for Pre-filing Evidence Preservation.When seals or seizes the evidence,the court shall require the applicant provide bond;and in other situations,the court shall has discretion on whether bond must be provided.The court does not have jurisdiction over substantive questions simply because it is the court preserved the evidence;however,in maritime and foreign-related cases,the court which preserves the evidence shall entertain jurisdiction over substantive questions thereafter.
