The Interest measurement theory put forward by the Japanese scholar Ichiro Kato has its posifive significance. It reveals that the process in which a judge decides cases by applying the law is a process of interest measurement. Iewever,this theory has its shortcomings,the most basic one being the lack of a system of scientific rules,which can easily lead to arbitrariness. Interest has a stratified structure:the specific interests of parties,group interest,institutional interest,social interest andpublic interest. In practice,we should distinguish different types of interest and carefully analyze and demonstrafe each of them. |
