英、德民事司法改革对我国的启示

20世纪 90年代以来 ,英国、德国所进行的民事司法改革对各国司法制度的发展产生了广泛的影响。英、德两国围绕司法改革的合宪性、整体性以及公正与效率的平衡所采取的一系列措施及选择 ,为我国正在进行的民事司法改革提供了许多有益的启示 :司法改革不仅要求实质合法 ,而且要求程序合法 ;不论采用何种改革方式 ,都必须从宏观的层面、从整体的角度来设计、把握司法制度的改革 ;提高诉讼效率不能仅仅局限在修改诉讼程序的层面 ,而应扩及到纠纷解决机制的重构。

Inspiration from the Civil Justice Reform in U.K.and Germany

Since the 1960s, the civil justice reform in U.K. and Germany had an extensive and profound impact on other countries' judiciary system. The measures U.K. and Germany took centering on the constitutionality, integrality and the equilibrium of justice and efficiency of justice reform provide many beneficial inspirations for China's ongoing civil justice reform. Civil justice reform demands legitimacy both in essence and in procedure; whatever reform manners adopted, the reform should be designed and held macroscopically and integrally; raising the efficiency of litigation should depend on the reconstruction of the dispute settlement system instead of only limiting to the revision of litigation procedure.
