我们与莱克斯·盟带(Lex Mundi)律师事务所在109个国家和地区的成员所进行了合作,就驱逐未支付租金的住房承租人和支票拒付追索两类案件,测度并描述了当事人和法院使用的确切程序。我们运用这些数据,为每个国家的纠纷解决的程序形式主义(Procedural Formalism)构建了一个指数。我们发现,此类形式主义在大陆法法系国家呈规律性地比普通法国家更强大,并且与司法过程的更长预期期限相联系,与司法裁决的更少公正、更少公平、更少一致性相联系,还与更高的腐败相联系。这些结果暗示,法律移植可能已导致一种高度无效率的程序形式主义,而在发展中国家尤其如此。
We worked with Lex Mundi law firms in 109 countries and regions to measure and describe two categories of cases involving deportation of unfunded tenants and check refusals, Exact procedures used by parties and courts. We use these data to build an index of procedural formalism for dispute resolution in each country. We find that such formalism is more regularly regulated in civil law countries than in common law countries and linked to the longer deadlines of the judicial process, less fair, less equitable and less fair than judicial decisions Consistency is linked to higher corruption. These results suggest that legal transfers may have led to a highly inefficient procedural formalism, especially in developing countries.
