证人证言是一种非常重要的证据。证人证言的真伪必须经过特定的程序加以判断。交叉询问式的询问模式为英美法系国家所使用。在英美民事诉讼中,只有当事人或其律师才能询问证人,法官一般不主动询问证人。在大陆法系国家,证人作证是作为一个公民对国家应尽的一种义务,询问证人是法官的职责。我国民事诉讼中法官和当事人都能够询问证人,但我国民事诉讼法缺乏对询问证人的相关制度的规定。应借鉴其他国家的成功经验,尝试构建适合我国国情的证人询问模式。
Witness testimony is a very important proof. The authenticity of witness testimony must be judged by a specific procedure. The cross-questioning mode is used by common law countries. In the Anglo-American civil litigation, only the parties or their lawyers can ask witnesses, and the judges generally do not take the initiative to ask witnesses. In civil law countries, witness testifying is a citizen’s obligation to the state as a citizen, asking witnesses to be the judge’s responsibility. China’s civil litigation both the judge and the parties can interrogate the witnesses, but our country’s civil procedure law lacks the system of interrogating the witnesses. We should learn from the successful experience of other countries and try to construct a pattern of witness inquiry that suits our national conditions.
