Research Abstract |
It became clear with this research that, as to a Chinese environmental lawsuit, a claim for damages and a demand for injunction may be admitted even if the proof about the relationship of cause and effect remains in experiential presumption in a trial process. As this reason, it may be pointed out that a Chinese lawsuit has mediation character and the stability of local society is considered more important than the clarification of a cause for imputation. Besides, based on the present condition that serious pollution victims hesitate presenting a case to the court, the arguments in the Chinese academic journals about public interest litigation and the future view about institutionalization of it were discussed in a published paper.
