中國大陸民事訴訟電子化之研究

電子化時代的到來，特別是網路技術的廣泛使用，徹底改變了傳統的生活方式。電子民事訴訟行為的出現，對傳統的訴訟領域，包括訴訟原則、訴訟形式、訴訟程序等方面都產生重大的變革，使得訴訟成為一項舉手可得的活動，提起訴訟、參加訴訟變得異常的大眾化、生活化，不但方便當事人的訴訟，降低訴訟成本，提高訴訟效率，更好保護當事人訴訟權利，而且節省國家的司法資源，並對司法的民主化產生深遠的影響。民事訴訟活動可以在一定程度上運用網路技術，但需要對適用的範圍加以規範，民事訴訟法的修改應該順應這一潮流，在立法上保留一定的前瞻性。本文以中國大陸民事訴訟電子化的變革為視角，探討在電子化時代，民事訴訟行為的變革所產生的巨大影響，以及衍生的問題。

The coming of electronic era, especially the wide use of network technology, has completely changed the traditional lifestyle. The emergence of electronic civil procedure has brought forth significant effects on the traditional litigation systems, including the principle of litigation, litigation ceremony, legal proceedings and so on, which leads to the simplified civil procedure. Instituting litigation and participating in litigation are becoming especially convenient and popular, which not only makes the litigation convenient for the parties, reduces procedure costs, improves the efficiency of the litigation and guarantees better the litigation rights of the parties involved, but also saves the judicial resources of our country, and bears far-reaching influences on judicature democratization. Network technology may be employed in civil procedure actions to a certain extent, however, its applicable scope must be regulated. The modification of the Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China should conform to the trend with some foresight on the legislation. Based on electronization of civil procedure in China, this article discusses both the tremendous impacts and derivative issues brought about by the reform of civil litigation lawsuits in electronic era.
