我国侵权法功能的另一种解读——以法律规范为视角

法律的功能是在法律规范内在属性的基础上,通过法律内容的设计所体现出来的法律在调整社会现象时所具有的内在功用和效能.民事法律规范兼具行为规范与裁判规范的双重性格.虽然侵权法的功能在其历史发展中迭经变迁,因时而异,因国而不同,但同样受法律规范自身属性的制约.基于《侵权责任法》具体规范的考察,作为裁判规范的侵权法具有保护民事权益的功能,作为行为规范的侵权法发挥着预防侵权行为的功能.

Another Interpretation of the Functions of China’s Tort Law:From the Perspective of Legal Norms

The functions of law,based on the inherent nature of legal norms,are the effects accompanying the regulation of social phenomena through the content of law.The civil legal norms have the characteristics of both behavior and judgment.Being different in different times and different countries and having experienced lots of changes during the history,the functions of tort law are restricted by the nature of legal norms.Through the review of the specific content of China’s Tort Act,we can find the fact that tort law is playing its role from two angles,namely,protecting the civil rights and interests as judgment norms and preventing acts as behavioral norms.
