《我國的民事訴訟證據制度問題》
張紐約（中南財經政法大學）
摘要
證據是正義的基礎。人們常說“打官司就是打證據”，可見證據在當代訴訟中的重要地位。廣義上的民事訴訟證據制度是指規定證據、證據收集、審查判斷證據及如何運用證據證明案件事實的法律規范的總稱；狹義上則僅指民事訴訟證據制度類型。人類歷史上，證據制度經歷了從神示證據制度到法定證據制度，再到自由心證的證據制度的發展過程。神示證據制度因其的不理性和野蠻性而被歷史所淘汰，而法定證據制度也因其的過分僵化和機械性而被自由心證的證據制度所取代。自由心證原則經歷了傳統自由心證和現代自由心證兩種形態。傳統自由心證由于其的過分強調法官自由裁量，不加任何形式的限制，而易導致司法的任意性。20世紀30年代后，針對傳統自由心證的不足，各國開始對自由心證的證據制度進行改造，引進證據規則，對法官司法裁量權予以必要的限制，以保障法官心證的客觀性，實現司法公正，從而確立了現代自由心證的原則。
長期以來，我國受原蘇聯及東歐社會主義國家哲學思想、政治主張的影響，而實行“實事求是”的證據制度。要求法官審查判斷證據必須以“實事求是”為原則，以“客觀真實”為標準，強調法官判案必須以案件的客觀真實為依據，賦予法官極大的審查判斷權。這種過分追求“客觀真實”的訴訟證明要求，實際上是不符合我國的訴訟實際的，在本質上也是違背馬克思主義哲學認識論的認識規律的。
為建立符合我國訴訟實際的中國特色的證據制度，首先我們應該改變原來的訴訟理念，明確法官調查取證的案件事實是發生在過去的事實，它是不可能完整地重現于法庭之上的。而法官對案件事實的審查判斷通常都是通過自身的經驗和推理而作出的，在實踐中也是很難做到100％查明案件事實的程度的。所以我們應從追求“客觀真實”的證明要求，轉向追求“法律真實”的證明要求，改變原來的一元化證明標準，確立“高度蓋然性”的民事訴訟證明標準，并以“客觀真實”作為我們訴訟的終極目標。其次要改變舊的法官審查判斷證據的原則和標準，確立具有中國特色的“法官依法獨立審查判斷證據”的原則和“法律真實”的標準，承認法官心證的合理性和合法性，保障法官心證自由。
在新一輪的司法改革中，改革和完善民事訴訟證據制度已成為制約我國司法改革能否成功的關鍵。對于民事訴訟證據制度中存在的問題，我們應深入地研究，提出各種切實可行的解決辦法。比如倡導制定一部統一的證據法典，完善我國證據規則；提倡法官心證的自由與客觀，保持法官中立，實現司法公正。

ABSTRACT
Evidence is the basic of justice. People often say, "Going to court is to make evidence ", and it is obvious that the important status of evidence in the contemporary lawsuit. Civil action evidence system of broad sense means the legal norm of stipulating evidence, evidence collecting, evidence checking and judging and how to use evidence to prove the case fact; and the narrow sense only means the evidence system type of civil action. In the history of mankind, the evidence system has been gone through from evidence system of prophesy to system of legal evidence, and then reaches the evidence system of judicial discretion. The evidence system of prophesy is eliminated by history, because it is not rational and barbarous. And the system of legal evidence is replaced by the evidence system of judicial discretion, because it is too rigid and machinery. Judicial discretion has gone through two kinds of shapes of the traditional judicial discretion and modern judicial discretion. Traditional judicial discretion because of their excessive to put emphasis on judge's cutting out amount freely, and without any restriction, and it apt to cause administration of justice wanton. After 1930s, because of the weak point of the traditional judicial discretion, various countries began to carry on the transformation to the traditional judicial discretion, introduce the evidence rule, give the essential restriction to the right of cutting out amount of judge's administration of justice, in order to ensure the objectivity of judge's heart card, realizes the justice, thus established the principle of the modern judicial discretion.
For a long time, our country receives original Soviet Union and socialist state of Eastern Europe’s philosophy thought and political opinion, and implements the evidence system of " seeking truth from facts ". It requires taking" seeking truth from facts " as the principle when the judge is checking and judging the evidence, and taking " objective and true "as the standard, emphasizing a judge must take the objective and true of the case as a basis to decide a case, give judge great judging right. The prove requiring of pursuing " objective and true " lawsuit excessively, is not according with the real lawsuit of our country and Marxist philosophy of epistemology in essence.
In order to set up the evidence system which accords with the distinct Chinese characteristics with real lawsuit of our country, we should change the original lawsuit idea, define the case fact that a judge investigates and collects evidence is taking place in the past at first, it is impossible to reappear in the court completely. Judging the fact of case that is made by judge with his experience and reasoning, and it is very difficult to accomplish 100% degree of finding out the fact of case in practice. So we should from pursuing " objective and true " identification require, to pursue identification that " law is true " require, change the original prove standard of one unified, establish civil action of " high probability " prove standard, and regard it as the ultimate goal of our lawsuit with " objective and true ". Second, we should change the old principle and standard of judging and examining evidence, establish the principle of " the judge examines and judges the evidence independently in accordance with the law " with characteristic of Chinese and standard that " the law is true ", acknowledge the rationality and legitimacy of judge's heart card, ensure judge's heart to be free.
Among judicial reform of new round, that reforming and perfecting civil action evidence system is the key to success administration of justice of our country already. To the questions existing in the evidence system of the civil action, we should study deeply, put forward various kinds of feasible solutions. For example, advocate making a unified evidence code, perfect the rule of evidence of our country; recommend judge’s heart to be free and objective, keep judge's neutrality, realize the justice.
