國際訴訟準備的一般性考量

General Considerations in the Preparation of International Litigation

本研究在探討要進行國際訴訟時，需要準備與考量的一般性要素。例如：思考訴訟的功能、分析預算是否可負擔、如何撰寫訴狀、怎麼進行言詞答辯、預期判決方向等面向。本文認為，若能知悉並理解國際訴訟準備的組成成分，便可有清楚觀察國際訴訟發展的切入點。此等準備，從積極面而言，能增進對於訴訟結果的判斷能力，乃至於在政策上可及早因應。消極面來說，應能避免或減少判決出爐後，產生如南海仲裁案所引發的錯愕感。 This study aims to consider general elements in preparing international litigation. For example: deliberating the function of litigation, evaluating whether the budget is affordable, how to prepare the written and oral proceedings, predicting the final result of the case, etc. If we can understand and comprehend the ingredients in the preparation of international litigation, then we will have some clear analytical perspectives in observing the development of specific cases. In terms of a positive view, realizing these dimensions in a litigation process can enhance our sense and capability for judging the direction of its final ruling. On the contrary, this also could prevent or decrease the unnecessary shocking feeling brought by a case such as the South China Sea Arbitration.
