The Connection Of The Environmental Civil Public Interest Litigation System And The Ecological Environment Damage Compensation System

Our country revised the Civil Procedure Law in 2012 and established an environmental civil public interest litigation system.In 2017,the Reform Plan for the Compensation System for Ecological Environmental Damage（hereinafter referred to as the “Reform Plan”）was passed,establishing the compensation system for ecological and environmental damage.Analyzing the two types of litigation systems,there are many similarities between the two,such as the purpose of litigation and the scope of application.The existing laws in our country have not actually solved the conflict between the two types of litigation systems and have not well coordinated the relationship between them.The most urgent task is to improve relevant laws and regulations as soon as possible,issue corresponding judicial interpretations,and make specific provisions on how to connect the two types of litigation systems.By analyzing the problems and causes of the two types of litigation systems in the process of connection,this paper finally designs a specific connection path for the two types of litigation systems.This paper firstly introduces the general situation of the two types of litigation systems,and analyzes their respective concepts,characteristics and theoretical structures.Secondly,clarify the relationship between the two types of litigation systems,and explore the relevance and differences between the two types of litigation systems.The premise of realizing the orderly connection of the two types of litigation systems is to clarify the relationship between the two.The correlation between the two types of litigation systems provides the possibility for the connection,but the difference between the two types of litigation systems is a problem that needs to be solved in the process of connection.Only by properly handling the differences between the two types of litigation systems can the connection be made more comfortable.Thirdly,this paper analyzes the problems existing in the connection process of the two types of litigation systems,from the gaps in the connection between the two types of litigation systems and the conflicts in practical operation.The reasons for the poor connection between the two types of litigation systems are summarized from two aspects: the disorder of the connection rules and the logical evolution of the power structure.Finally,based on the above analysis,the specific connection paths of the two types of litigation systems are put forward in a targeted manner.The original ecological and environmental damage compensation system is included in the environmental civil public interest litigation system,and the two types of litigation systems are unified into the environmental civil public interest litigation system.The setting of the connection sequence,the establishment of a unified dispute resolution mechanism,the setting of the connection rules,the strengthening of public participation and supervision,etc.
