民事诉讼进行中,当一方当事人死亡时,如何从法律上看待其继承人的诉讼权利和义务?进言之,继承人参加诉讼究竟系其权利抑或义务?当继承人选择不参加诉讼时,对其诉讼权利以及诉讼权利背后的民事权利会产生何种影响?这些问题在实务中确有探讨的必要。民事诉讼法的相关规定见于第一百三十六条、第一百三十七条。前者规定,当一方当事人死亡,需要等待继承人表明是否参加诉讼的,中止诉讼;后者规定,原告死亡,没有继承人,或者继承人放弃诉讼权利的,或者被告死亡,没有遗产,也没有应当承担义务的人的,终结诉讼。最高法院《关于适用民事诉讼法若干问题的意见》中并无进一步的相关规定。可以看出,法律的态度并不明了,诉讼中止规定中“需要等待继承人表明是否参加诉讼”的表述似乎明确继承人具有选择权,既为权利,则选择不参

The Supreme People’s Court’s Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Civil Procedure Law do not contain any further relevant provisions. It can be seen that the attitude of the law is not clear, the suspension of the provisions of the law “The need to wait for the successor to indicate whether or not to participate in the proceedings, ” the statement seems clear heirs have the right to choose, both rights, the choice of non-
