证人作证问题是民事诉讼的基本问题,也是民事诉讼言辞中心主义的关键所在。关于证人拒绝作证其实是个价值衡量的问题,在涉及案件事实与其他价值冲突时是否一味追求真实,如何处理也值得探讨。证人拒绝作证不是因为其本身有什么特权,而是因为其负有对相关人的保密义务(如医生对病人负有保密义务),所以准确地说应该叫证人拒绝作证的义务。
The issue of witness testimony is the basic issue of civil lawsuit and also the key to civil right utterance-centrism. Witness refusing to testify is actually a matter of value measurement. It is worth discussing whether to pursue the truth when it comes to the conflict between the facts of a case and other values. Witnesses refuse to testify not because of their own privilege, but because they have a duty of confidentiality (such as a doctor’s duty of confidentiality of the patient) to the person concerned, so it is more appropriate to call the witness’s refusal to testify.
