| Abstract: | 本研究計畫係接續申請人對於民事證據法之系統性研究成果，亦即在對於舉證責任、真實義務、證明度、經驗法則、自由心證等議題進行研究，並分別發表新民事證據法論、舉證責任與真實義務、舉證責任與證明度等專書，並計畫未來一年將出版證據評價論（或自由心證論）一書之後，希能在2010年8月後得對於更具體，但卻較少人研究之證據調查等相關問題，進行體系性研究，並於必要時進行田野調查及實證研究，希能對於此一民事程序法上至為重要，卻少被開發之議題，提出具體研究成果，供國內理論及實務發展參考。本計畫預計對於證據調查中各種證據方法之理論及實務加以研究，其中特別將重點放在文書、人證及鑑定三者， 對於勘驗及當事人訊問則視情形為合目的性之討論。第一年之研究主軸放在文書提出義務，將對於我國、德國之文書提出義務理論及實務發展，進行解析及研究，必要時並對於美國與日本法制進行比較分析，希能對於文書提出義務、摸索證明及非負舉證責任一造當事人事案解明義務等重要議題，提出更深入之論理解析。第二年將對於人證等相關問題加以研究，此部分將著重在未成年之證人適格性、傳聞證人、證人訊問程序、技巧及訊問心理學等進行理論及實證考察及分析。第三年重點在於鑑定程序之研究，對於鑑定人之具結及其公正性確保，醫學鑑定及委託機關及醫院鑑定等問題，進行理論及比較法制度分析，必要時並進行田野調查，希對於此一問題能獲得更深入之研究成果。
Subject research carries on the series of the applicant’s precedent research achievements in the field of civil evidence law. That is, after specialty publications addressing topics in “Burden of Proof”, ”Truth Obligation”, “Standard of Proof”, “The Rules of Experience”, and “the Free Evaluation of Evidence”, the proposed research plan attempts to explore further into the specific, but less visited issues of evidence investigation in a systematized approach after August 2010. Empirical and field studies maybe applied, if necessary, with expectation of providing concrete research outcomes over these critical but under developed issues in the civil procedural law for academic and practical professionals. Subject research proposed to dig into the various theories and practices of evidential types, with emphasis on documentary, witness, and expert opinion. As to the physical object examination and cross parties interrogation, this research will address per the topic mandate. In the first year, the main theme focuses on the obligation of documentary submission; for which, the theoretical and practical developments in Taiwan and Germany would be compared and analyzed; the equivalent in U.S and Japan legal systems would be conducted when necessary. This aims to generate in depth analyses on the important issues of the obligation of documentary submission, fishing expedition, and the elaboration obligation on the party without burden of proof. In the second year, the research will progress into the issues concerned with witness. This section will focus on the issues like legitimacy of juvenile witness, witness of hearsay, witness interrogation procedures & skills, interrogational psychology etc. to analyze the issues with theoretical and empirical study approaches. In the third year, the emphasis moves on to expert opinions. The issues, like the warranty and fairness of the expert opinions, medical examination, and opinions from mandated institutions and hospitals, will be analyzed through theoretical and comparative approaches. Field study approach may be applied when necessary, with anticipation of more insightful research outcomes to be generated. |
