Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By reexaminating the concept of "fact-object of adjudicaton theory" and adopting a new theoretical framework called "the fact-object of prosecution", I have investigated various problems concerning the count, which is a system that symbolizes the adversarial feature of the current Criminal Procedure Code. In particular, I clarified the significance of "specification" and "identification" of the cause of action and the difference in the institutional functions of these requests. I also clarified the relationship between each of these requests and the problems related to changing the count and the difference between the criminal fact described in the indictment and that described in the judgment.In this way, I gave a new systematic position to these problems and reexamined them from a different angle than before.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
訴因制度は現行刑事訴訟法の当事者主義化を象徴する制度であり、その採用は刑事裁判を「真実発見」の場から当事者の攻防の「勝敗判定」の場へと転換させる意味を持つ。そのため、訴因の特定・明示、訴因変更の要否・可否といった諸問題は、刑事裁判の存在意義それ自体に関わる重要な問題であるが、従来、これらはもっぱら「審判対象論」の枠組内で検討されてきたため、これらの諸問題間の相互関係が不明確である等、理論的な解明が不十分なままにとどまっていた。本研究は、公訴対象論という観点を付加することにより、裁判論との関係をも射程に入れた新たな理論枠組を提示し、刑事訴訟のあり方を考える上で重要な視点を確立するものである。
