———国际诉讼法协会(IAPL)2008 年年会主题述评

杜 闻

【摘 要】 国际诉讼法协会 2008 年年会的主题为“口头及书面程序：民事诉讼中的效率”。围绕该问题各国学者(主要是大陆法系学者)形成两派观点：一派强调书面程序能有效提高诉讼的效率；另一派则强调口头原则的重要性。两者背后的价值追求都是“如何提高程序效率”。此次会议主题反映出大陆法系民事诉讼在基本程序保障实现后，提高诉讼效率成为十分突出和急迫的问题。此次年会上，学者就相关理论问题展开讨论，如两种“诉讼目的观”的对立、有关书面和口头原则的“两个神话”的解构等。

One group insisted that only can written proceedings improve the efficiency in civil actions,whereas the other group put emphasis on the importance of the oral proceedings. The common value pursuit behind those two arguments is efficiency in civil litigation. Scholars also discuss some relevant theories, such as:the two opposing notions of civil actions; the two “myths” about oral and written proceedings, etc.

【Key Words】 Oral proceedings， Written proceedings，The improvement of procedural efficiency
