摘要
证据开示程序是美国国内民事诉讼中获取证据的一项重要制度,是指当事人主动向对方寻找证据和信息的一种权利。由于各国法律文化上的差异,诉讼制度存在很大的区别,美国单方面的证据开示程序,遭到了世界上众多国家的反对;国际社会一直致力于发展这一领域的合作,并出台了相关的国际公约。尽管相关的国际公约在美国证据开示程序与其他国家诉讼制度冲突方面发挥着作用,但其也遗留下了一些未清理的问题。美国国内民事诉讼中的Aerospatiale案对协调各国与美国在取证问题上产生重大的障碍作用,导致了国际社会的强烈对抗。
The procedure of discovery is a special rule in American civil procedural law,which endows any party with getting his evidence from others.Because of the difference of law culture in the world,the procedural rules vary greatly.The American procedure of one-sided discovery begets much opposition from other countries.International community works for developing cooperation in this field and lays down many conventions.Although some related international conventions play an important role in harmonizing the conflict,they have many problems which are not solved easily as well.The case of Aerospatiale in American civil procedural law baffles the cooperation of the taking evidence between America and other countries in the world,which leads to the fierce opposition from international community.
