A Study On The Time Limit System Of Producing Evidence In The Civil Procedure

In August 2012, the eleventh meeting of the Standing Committee of the twenty-eighth National People’s Congress adopted the decision on Amending the Civil Procedure Law of the People’s Republic of China. One of the highlights of this modification is to increase the provisions on the time limit for parties producing evidence. Specifically, the provisions of Article 65 of the new "Civil Procedure Law" limited that Parties should provide timely evidence for their claims. Once they delivered overdue, they shall be ordered to explain the reasons. If they refused to explain the reason or reasons were not established, the court according to the different circumstances can deny the evidence or accepted the evidence but shall be admonished or fine. Through this provision, the proof deadline system has been increased to the legal level, rather than just reflected in the judicial interpretation. But in practice, due to the lack of detailed provisions and supporting system, all the local courts apply different standards on the time limit system of adducing evidence. There are a variety of problems.By drawing on foreign experience and analysis of the problems existing in the practice of our country, this paper aims at putting forward some suggestions to improve the time limit for adducing evidence system in our country on the basis of the meaning and value of it. Specifically, this paper is divided into four parts. The first part is research on the concept of time limit of proof and value. The first step to define the meaning of the time limit for adducing evidence on the basis of the development of the system of adducing evidence in China,which will be divided into four stages.
