後疫情時代的在線訴訟：路向何方

Online Litigation in the Post-Epidemic Era: Where to Go

在後疫情時代，在線訴訟的實踐運行樣態較疫情發生初期顯現出較大變化。實證考察發現，其主要表現為適用率整體下降、適用範圍相對縮小，階段型適用模式逐漸取代原有全流程型為主導的適用模式等。由此可見，在線訴訟的適用深受疫情形勢變化的影響，當疫情趨於緩和時，在線訴訟的適用率便開始縮減。據此，我們易將在線訴訟僅視為配合疫情防控需要的權宜之計，但事實上，在線訴訟實踐的效果性及運行機制的完整性都決定了其本身所具有的獨立性，這在一定程度上意味著其可能成為未來司法實踐中的主流。至於我國在線訴訟的遠景，或許不是採取域外學者認為的顛覆性進路，而應當以司法實踐者的需求為導向并始終秉持一種積極、審慎的態度，在不斷試錯的基礎上穩步前進。

"In the post-epidemic era, the practice of online litigation has changed significantly compared with the initial stage of the outbreak. The empirical study shows that the application rate decreases, the scope of application is relatively narrow, and the phased application mode gradually replaces the original full-process mode. It can be seen that the application of online litigation is greatly affected by the changing situation of the epidemic. When the epidemic tends to ease, the application rate of online litigation begins to decrease. Therefore, it is easy to regard online litigation as a temporary measure to meet the needs of epidemic prevention and control. However, in fact, the effectiveness of online litigation practice and the integrity of its operation mechanism determine its independence, which to some extent means that it may become the mainstream of future judicial practice. As for the prospect of online litigation in China, it may not take the subversive approach considered by foreign scholars, but should be guided by the needs of judicial practitioners, always upholding a positive and prudent attitude, and making steady progress on the basis of constant trial and error."
