我国民事诉讼法规定,凡是知道案件情况的单位和个人,都有义务出庭作证。但在我国民事诉讼审判实务中,证人履行作证义务与法律规定存在着较大差距,如证人不出庭作证,拒绝作证或作伪证等现象大量存在,这些现象不利于我国民事诉讼的公平、公正、公开,具有较大的危害性。 China’s Civil Procedure Law stipulates that all units and individuals who know the circumstances of a case have the obligation to testify in court. However, in the practice of civil litigation in our country, there is a big gap between the witness’s obligation of performing a testimony and the law. For example, witnesses do not appear in court to testify, refuse to testify or perjury exist in a large number. These phenomena are not conducive to the fair, just, Open, with greater harm.
