司法如何回應網絡技術進步－－兼論視聽傳輸技術作證的運用規則

How Judicature Responds to Network Technological Advances: On the Application Rules of Audio-visual Transmission Technology for Testimony

視聽傳輸技術作證方式的適用現狀，反映出相應技術手段與司法程序尚未達到相互理解的和諧狀態，司法面臨如何回應網絡技術進步的問題。司法與技術的關係從分立走向耦合，促進了兩者的互動和理解。視聽傳輸技術證與直接言詞原則存在一定的沖突，但作為解決證人出庭困難的特殊作證手段之本質，並且通過網絡技術與直接言詞原則的調適，使其正當性得以充實。對視聽傳輸技術作證不論是持積極還是消極的態度，都不是問題的實質，明確該作證手段的理念和運用規則才是司法回應網絡技術進步的有效方法。在適用視聽傳輸技術作證方式時，應堅持有限利用、當事人選擇、訴訟輔導、交叉互補等規則，以突出普通作證手段之補充的地位，追求該作證手段應用的適度性。The applicable status of audio-visual transmission technology reflecting the technical means and the judicial process has not reched harmony state of mutual understanding . The problem that judicature face is how to respond to the network technology advances. The relationship between justice and technology changed form discrete to coupling, promoting the interaction and understanding of justice and technology. There are cer-tain conflicts of audio-visual transmission technology and the principle of direct testimony. But the essence of audio-visual transmission technology is a special solution to the witness difficult to appear in court to testify. The adjustment of network technology and the principle of direct testimony can enrich the legitimacy of audio-visual transmission technology. The essence of the problem is not whether positive or negative attitude towards audio-visual transmission technology. The effective method of judicature responds to network technological ad-vance is making clear the concept adiond applicable rules of audio-visual transmission technology. In the applica-tion of audio-visual transmission technology for testimony, we should insist on the rules of limited use. the par-ties choice, procedure guidance, cross complementary and so on . We should stress audio-visual transmission technology's additional position of common testimony ways and pursue the moderation of audio-visual transmis-sion technology.
