庭审实质化背景下交叉询问规则探析

党的十八届四中全会提出推进以审判为中心的诉讼制度改革,突出强调法庭审理的实质意义。在法庭审理中,进行交叉询问是实现庭审实质化的必然要求。我国虽然建立了交叉询问规则的基本框架,但仍存在着一些不足,如交叉询问在运用中较为混乱、证人多数情况下不出庭作证以及交叉询问规则不完善等。因此,在推进以审判为中心的诉讼制度改革及落实庭审实质化进程中,应在借鉴国外成熟经验的基础上不断完善我国庭审中的交叉询问规则。

Exploration on cross-examination rule under background of substantive trial

The 4th Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee proposed to promote the reform of trial-centered litigation system, which highlights the substantive significance of court trial. During court trial, cross-examination is the inevitable requirement of realizing substantiation of trial. Although the basic framework of cross-examination rule has been established in China, there are still some shortcomings, such as the confusion in application of cross-examination, the failure of witnesses to testify in the majority of cases, and the imperfect rule of cross-examination, etc. Hence, during the process of promoting the reform of trial-centered litigation system and carrying out the substantiation of trial, the rule of cross-examination in China should be constantly improved on the basis of referencing the mature experiences of foreign countries.
