内容提要 《民法典》第9条已宣示绿色原则作为民法基本原则。对司法实践中涉及 绿色原则的相关案例,可根据案涉纠纷是否存在可适用的民事法律规范及其数量、规范与绿 色原则之间是否存在冲突以及绿色原则可否有助于相互冲突之规范间的适用选择,进行三 层顺次分类。通过分析相关案例,可得出漏洞填补、价值宣示、规范解释和规范选择四种绿 色原则司法适用的具体路径。其中规范解释适用指仅有一个可适用于解决案涉纠纷的规范, 但适用该规范会造成与绿色原则间的价值冲突,可引入绿色原则重新解释该规范以作出妥 善裁判。绿色原则的规范解释适用可依循民事规范识别、冲突价值权衡、解释方法探求和比 例原则考量四个主要步骤展开,并应严守利益平衡、充分说理和规范双引三项基本要求。

Abstract: Article 9 of the Civil Code has declared the Green Principle as the basic principle of the Civil Code. Through studying and theoretical analysis, it can be concluded that according to whether there exists applicable civil legal norms and the quantity, whether there is a conflict between specific norms and the Green Principle, and whether the Green Principle can be applied to the selection between conflicting norms, relevant cases involving the Green Principle in judical practice can be divided into three levels of classification. Furthermore, four specific approaches to the judicial application of the Green Principle are found out, namely loophole filling, value declaration, normative interpretation and normative selection. The application of normative interpretation means that there is only one norm applicable to the settlement of the disputes involved in the case, but the application of the norm will cause value conflict with the Green Principle, in which the Green Principle can be introduced to reinterpret the norm to make a proper judgment. The normative interpretation and application of the Green Principle can be carried out according to the four steps: civil normative identification, conflict value measurement, interpretation method exploration, and proportional principle consideration. Moreover, three basic requirements should be strictly observed: interest balance, full reasoning, and double normative introduction.
