Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、民事訴訟法上の重要概念である「訴訟担当、訴訟代理にかかる基礎理論の水準を一挙に高めた」と評価されている（参照、旬刊商事法務2248号（2020）65頁）。加えて、学説上争いのある民事訴訟法29条の要件・効果を考察するための新たな分析視角も提供されたと考えている。こうした基礎理論は、民事訴訟で破産管財人、遺言執行者、相続財産管理人、社団・組合、社債管理者等の財産管理人に与えられるべき地位・権限を考察する上で重要な補助線としての役割を果すものであり、理論的・実務的に大きな意義がある。
