我国民事诉讼立法将当事人听取安排在法庭调查阶段的第一个环节,但重形式轻运作是其显而易见的缺陷,致使当事人听取制度在司法实践中名存实亡。强调当事人的出庭义务、固定当事人的证据资料,并明确法官的阐明义务,是完善当事人听取制度的有效途径。 The civil litigation legislation in our country arranges the parties to be heard in the first stage of the court investigation stage. However, the obvious defects of the light form and operation of the litigation cause the parties to hear the system exist in name only in judicial practice. Emphasizing the party’s obligation to appear in court, fixing the party’s evidence and clarifying the judge’s obligation of clarification are effective ways to improve the parties’ hearing system.
