程序公正是程序的内在价值,它为人们提供了评价诉讼程序优劣的价值标准。但该原则十分抽象,因而为诉讼程序本身设立一些具体、可操作的公正标准,便成为当务之急。而平等性是公正实现的前提条件,本文试从民事诉讼当事人平等及其现实意义方面,揭示平等性在民事诉讼中的重要地位。 Procedural justice is the inherent value of the program, which provides people with the value of evaluating the merits of litigation procedures. However, the principle is very abstract. Therefore, it is imperative to establish some concrete and operational fair standards for the litigation process itself. Equality is the prerequisite for the realization of fairness. This paper attempts to reveal the important position of equality in civil litigation from the perspective of the equality of civil litigants and their practical significance.
