I I 摘 要 2006 年 12 月 19 日，《诉讼费用交纳办法》由国务院公布并于 2007 年 4 月 1 日起施行。这是一部关于民事诉讼及行政诉讼收费的行政法规，这部法规自公布 以来，获得了社会舆论一致好评。《诉讼费用交纳办法》取代最高人民法院制定 的《人民法院诉讼收费办法》，删除了“其它诉讼费用”等给法院收费留下较大 裁量空间的模糊概念及条款，使人民法院的收费制度更加规范，特别是对诉讼费 交纳标准的调整，整体上大幅度减轻了当事人诉讼费用负担，切实保障了诉讼当 事人利益，并激励一般人“接近司法”，对于“任何人有权获得司法保护”这一 基本人权的实现具有重要意义。 但是，《诉讼费用交纳办法》大幅度降低了诉讼费用，也引起相当部分法院、 法官的担忧和疑虑。长期以来，诉讼费用一直是人民法院保障工作正常运转、加 大基础设施建设的重要经费保障，在某种程度上甚至是解决了法官福利待遇的主 要来源。诉讼费用大幅减少，法院的经费缺口如何解决？随之而来的诉讼案件增 多，法官能否负荷？《诉讼费用交纳办法》的实施，是否能够达到制度设计的初 衷？这些问题是否能够解决均有待于实践的检验。因此，关注《诉讼费用交纳办 法》的实施情况，分析研究其中存在的问题，提出解决问题的办法和思路，对诉 讼收费制度的完善，具有较大的理论价值和实践价值。 本文简要介绍了《诉讼费用交纳办法》的出台背景和创新价值，通过考察 某中级法院在《诉讼费用交纳办法》实施半年来的运行实证，分析了《诉讼费用 交纳办法》各利益主体间的冲突，探讨了《诉讼费用交纳办法》的构建缺陷。笔 者认为《诉讼费用交纳办法》较大幅度降低诉讼费用，是为了减轻当事人诉讼负 担，保障当事人裁判请求权。但这一立法目的的实现需要相关措施的“跟进”和 周边制度的完善。 关键词：诉讼费用；实证考评；利益冲突；财政保障 II II ABSTRACT 《The paying means of legal expense》has been announced by State Council on 31st December 2006, and put into force from 1st April 2007.
