当事人陈述具有悠久之历史,也曾在民事诉讼中发挥过重要的作用。但是随着科技的发展和当事人主体地位的增强,其所具有的证据价值正在减退。就我国而言,民事诉讼新证据规则的出台,确立了当事人自认制度,导致当事人陈述与现代诉讼模式的不适应性日益凸现,当事人陈述作为独立证据种类的存在应予否定。 The parties’ statements have a long history and have also played an important role in civil litigation. However, with the development of science and technology and the enhancement of the subject status of the parties concerned, the value of the evidence it has is diminishing. For our country, the introduction of new rules of evidence in civil litigation has established the self-identification system of the parties, resulting in the increasingly uncoordinated nature of parties ’statements and modern litigation models. The existence of parties’ statements as independent evidence should be denied.
