国内案件审理中法官司法能动性的重要性已经不言而喻,但是由于涉外案件的特殊性,所以它对司法能动性有特殊的要求。通过对美国、欧洲法院审理涉外案件中能动性发挥的比较来反思我国法院在审理涉外案件中应该如何有效地发挥司法能动性。 The importance of judiciary’s judicial initiative in the trial of domestic cases is self-evident. However, due to the special nature of foreign-related cases, it has special requirements on the judicial initiative. By comparing the motivation of the U.S. and European courts in handling foreign-related cases, we can reflect how the courts in our country should exert their judicial initiative in handling foreign-related cases.
