The principle and the system

The implementation of various activities of people in social life, some are to achieve private interests, some of it is in order to realize the public interest. Civil, commercial behavior is to pursue private interests for the purpose, can be called a private act; administrative activities is different, it can only give the public interests and the implementation; administrative organs cannot carry out administrative activities in order to realize the agency's own interests, or on the contrary to the original intention of the establishment of it.

Treatment of administrative litigation essence is the judicial organ to the supervision of the administrative supervision, so this is how to grasp?

Source of administrative right of speaking, is the alienation of the rights of citizens, the administrative organ as a representative or agent is the unauthorized disposition.

Civil litigation has some common principles, policies and procedures and administrative litigation, there are also some unique different principles, policies and procedures.

(a) the principle of disposition

"Civil Procedure Law" the thirteenth stipulation: the parties shall have the right of disposing of their own civil rights and litigation rights within the limits prescribed by law. Rule ninth: the people's court shall carry out mediation, on a voluntary and lawful basis; if conciliation is unsuccessful, a judgment shall be made without delay. Thus, in the field of civil litigation, the parties may according to their substantive rights and procedural rights of their own disposition, but in violation of mandatory provisions of the law and damage the public interests of the society except.

"The provisions of the administrative procedure law": in order to ensure the correct, prompt handling of administrative cases by the people's court, the protection of citizens, legal persons and other organizations of the legitimate rights and interests, safeguarding and supervising the exercise of administrative powers, this law is enacted in accordance with the constitution. The act of eleventh and twelfth from two sides to determine the scope of accepting cases of administrative litigation, mentioned that citizens, legal persons and other organizations or administrative subject specific administrative action. In the field of administrative law, the administrative subject's duty is to exercise their functions and powers according to law. Legal administrative principle is the basic principle of administrative subject. Legal administrative principle includes the following aspects: first, in the formulation of normative documents, in accordance with the law can only be defined by law, the administrative organ unless authorized, or not to make any provisions; second, in the absence of legislative documents under the provisions of the administrative organs shall not make, citizens, legal persons and other organizations of the rights obligations; third, any file, any decision made by administrative organs make must be consistent with the provisions of existing laws, shall not contravene the law; fourth, the authority, the administrative organ shall strictly follow the statutory procedures, the statutory scope; finally, obligations and responsibilities for the provisions of the law, the administrative organ shall actively fulfill or perform. The basic principles of legal administrative principle as the behaviour of the administrative main body, is of course precludes the administrative punishment in the field of administrative litigation principle.

The principle of action in the field of administrative litigation and civil litigation situation completely different. Because the administrative lawsuit and civil lawsuit follows different principle, so that essentially belongs to the civil litigation, the parties concerned may exercise the powers, but in administrative proceedings, the administrative subject is the unauthorized entity right. So both administrative and civil or administrative litigation with incidental civil action, on one hand we can not require the agency to make concessions to the specific administrative action made to resolve the dispute, is obtained, on the other hand, nor to the administrative organ has made a decision to limit it when the civil dispute part of the right of disposition.

Fourth, the counterclaim and the appeal must have implications, either with a fact based, or relationship with a law based, or based on some kind of rights and obligations.

Due to the administrative subject to exercise the powers of all citizens, so its not punishment, thus in administrative proceedings, administrative proceedings reconciliation cannot and administrative relative person, the people's court shall have no mediation. "Administrative procedure law" article fiftieth to be clear, this stipulation: the people's Court concerning the trial of administrative cases, mediation is not applicable. At the same time, the administrative litigation is the main way of supervision of judicial power to the administrative power, does not examine the behavior and fault of the administrative relative person, so administrative litigation in administrative subject can't filed a counterclaim to the administrative relative person. Therefore, whether the main or administrative litigation incidental, cannot apply conciliation and counterclaim, the civil part, should the court presided over the mediation, the defendant has the right in accordance with the relevant provisions of the civil procedure law puts forward countercharge.

This means that the administrative litigation cases by the administrative tribunal of a people's court within the collegiate bench trial. The simple procedure, no provision of the administrative litigation law "". Therefore, the administrative procedure, the uniform application of the ordinary procedure. For people with hearing, cross case should be heard by a judicial organization. Therefore, the trial organization should be unified into a collegial panel, part of the civil trial should also be to hear to ordinary procedure, no longer apply summary procedure.

(six) the judgment and appeal review principle

First, the judgment in different ways. The judgment of administrative litigation and civil litigation in the different. "Administrative procedure law" fifty-fourth stipulation: the people's court after the trial, according to different circumstances, respectively make the following judgments:

(a) the specific administrative act irrefutable evidence, the applicable law, regulations, compliance with the statutory procedures, maintenance of judgment.

Visible in the appellate procedure, because the law principle to follow different and review the different objects, the object of civil litigation by the court of appeals review appeal scope limit, conducted a comprehensive review the legality of administrative litigation is a specific administrative act of the trial court judges and defendants, a manifestation of this is a legitimate administrative principle in administrative litigation.

(seven) the nature of the responsibility

In civil proceedings, the establishment of tort liability in the occasion, the defendant usually have to bear the liability for damages. In the field of contract, a party for its breach of contract to the other losses, should bear the liability for breach of contract by the other party, including continue to perform, pay breach of contract damages or compensation for losses. In nature, the parties bear civil liability.

"Administrative procedure law" sixty-seventh provides that: citizens, legal persons or other organizations infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of the damage caused by a specific administrative act of an administrative organ or the personnel of an administrative organ, have the right to claim compensation. Rule sixty-eighth: a specific administrative act of an administrative organ or the personnel of an administrative organ infringes the citizen, legal person or other organization's legitimate rights and interests of damage, the administrative organ or the administrative organ staff of administrative organs responsible for compensation.

(eight) implementing agencies

"Civil Procedure Law" provisions of article 207th:A legally effective civil judgment, ruling, and criminal judgments, rulings of the property in part, shall be executed by the people's Court of first instance. Other legal documents of the law enforced by a people's court, shall be enforced by the people's domicile or where the property where the people's court for enforcement. "Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on a number of issues people's courts (for Trial Implementation)"Article1Rules: the people's court according to the need, according to the provisions of relevant laws, the establishment of executive agencies, specifically responsible for the implementation of the work.

"Administrative procedure law" sixty-fifth paragraph second: citizen, legal person or other organization refuses to perform the judgment, ruling, the administrative organ may apply to a people's Court of first instance for compulsory execution, or law enforcement. The act of sixty-sixth provides that: citizens, legal persons or other organizations for the specific administrative act is not filed within the statutory period and is not complied with, the administrative organ may apply to a people's court for compulsory execution, or law enforcement. "Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on some problems in the implementation of 'of the people's Republic of China Administrative Procedure Law'"The eighty-seventh regulation: legal, regulations do not authorize the administrative organs to enforce the right, the administrative organ may apply to the people's court for compulsory execution, the people's court shall accept the case according to law. Legal, regulations can be enforced by administrative organs in accordance with the law, or apply to the people's court for compulsory enforcement, the administrative organ may apply to the people's court for compulsory execution, the people's court may accept the case according to law. Analysis of the legal provisions, we can find that has executive power mechanism in administrative litigation is not limited to the people's court, including law enforcement agencies have.

Some differences in the administrative litigation and civil litigation, we can find that the nature of the cause of these differences is the fundamental point of administrative litigation and civil litigation is different. Administrative litigation disputes is the representative of the interests of the general public, and represent the majority of the public decision and not of itself, but the agent of administrative subject. So, in order to prevent the administrative subject variation in the representative of the public interest and seek their own and personal interests, administrative litigation request to the administrative subject particularly strict, does not allow its disposition rights, also does not allow its and reconciliation in the administrative relative person. On the other hand, because the administrative subject is the representative of the public interest, which has a strong administrative resources, in order to prevent the imbalance of administrative litigation rights and obligations of both sides, "administrative procedure law" in the burden of proof and trial period and so on to the administrative relative person of tilt.
