关于构建我国小额诉讼程序的法律思考——从小额诉讼程序的适用范围出发

Legal Consideration on Constructing Chinese Small Claims Procedure——Starting from the Scope of Application of Small Claims Procedure

小额诉讼程序相较于简易程序更为简便易行。小额诉讼程序重视程序效率价值,遵循诉讼费用相当性原则,有利于实现司法便民。现行民事诉讼法没有关于小额诉讼程序的规定,导致在司法实践中不能很好地解决小额事件。同时,经济社会的发展也对小额诉讼程序的构建提出了要求。因此,应该在中国构建独立的小额诉讼程序,并在立法上对适用小额诉讼程序的法院和案件范围予以规定。

The small claims procedure is a kind of procedure that is simpler than summary procedure.The small claims procedure attaches importance to the value of procedure efficiency,follows the principle of equivalence of the cost of litigation,and is convenient for people’s judicial protection.The current civil procedure law does not have the provisions about the small claims procedure,which is harmful to the solution of micro-events.Meanwhile,the economic and social development requires the small claims procedure.Therefore,the small claims procedure in China should be built.The future law should provide the courts and case scope of application of the small claims procedure.
