Abstract:
The field of ecological environment trial involves a lot of specialized knowledge of environmental science, and the lack of corresponding specialized knowledge makes it difficult for judges to form evidence. The existing technical fact-finding methods in the field of ecological environment trial cannot provide technical assistance to judges, and the system of technical investigators can meet this need. The practice of local legislation and the specialization of environmental justice have created conditions for the establishment of technical investigators in the field of ecological environment trial. In the field of ecological environment trial, technical investigators should be clearly positioned as trial assistants who are technical assistants to judges. As for the construction of the system of technical investigators in the field of ecological environment trial, the substantive norms of technical investigators in the field of ecological environment trial should be introduced, and the norms of their selection, withdrawal, acceptance, supervision and responsibility should be clarified. In the procedure, it should be clear its start, operation, avoidance and other procedures.
生态环境审判领域涉及大量的环境科学专门性知识,缺乏相应专门性知识使法官难以形成心证。现有的技术事实查明方式无法为法官提供有效的技术辅助,而技术调查官制度可以满足这一需求。地方立法实践以及环境司法专门化为生态环境审判领域设立技术调查官创造了条件。生态环境审判领域中的技术调查官应明确定位为法官的技术辅助人员,并以此为基础展开制度构建。对于生态环境审判领域技术调查官制度的构建,在实体上,应出台技术调查官的实体性规范,明确其选任、退出、采信、监督、责任等规范;在程序上,应明确其启动、运行、回避等程序规范。
