内容提要 民事证明责任分配的实质性原则问题是当代证明责任理论的中心议题,但学界至今未提出令人信服的解决方案。当代证明责任理论的各种学说所提出的盖然性原则、证明危机原则和消极事实原则等,均不是证明责任分配的实质性原则,不能为证明责任分配提供正当性理由。既然证明责任是民法概念,那么就应当从民法价值理念的角度探寻其实质性原则。由于证明责任概念的功能仅在于实现相关民法概念的功能,所以它的实质性原则就是相关民法概念背后的民法基本原则。对民事证明责任分配的实质性原则的厘清,有助于我们从实质性原则出发,对具体制度中的证明责任分配进行目的论解释。

Abstract: The substantial principle of civil burden of proof distribution is a central issue in contemporary theory. The principles proposed by various theories, such as probability principle, principle of proof crisis, negative fact principle etc., are not substantial principles of burden of proof distribution. These theories can't provide legitimate foundation for the distribution of burden of proof. Since the burden of proof is a concept of civil law, its substantial principles should be discussed from a perspective of value idea of civil law. And, because the purpose of the burden of proof is to realize the function of related concepts in civil law, its substantial principles are the basic principles of civil law. The clarification of substantial principles for the burden of proof distribution will assist us to conduct a teleological interpretation of the distribution of burden of proof in concrete institution from a perspective of substantial principles.
