To protect the substantive rights of a person which is not a party against compulsory enforcement, Article 227 of the Civil Procedure Law establishes a dual remedy system with application for a retrial and action against enforcement as its content. This system directly ties the correctness of procedure to the authenticity of substantive rights, and embodies the dependence of civil procedure law on substantive civil law, which is not only inconsistent with the structure of civil litigation and the principles and rules of the civil procedure law, but also wastes judicial resources, leads to unnecessary litigations, and creates flaws in judicial protection. The dual remedy system should be transformed back into a unitary remedy system, which is the common practice of comparative law. As long as the person which is not a party claims a substantive right to exclude the enforcement, he can bring an action against the enforcement, regardless of whether he believes the original judgment is wrong, or whether the enforcement object has already been chosen by the original judgment. Before the legislative amendment, courts can promote the transformation of the dual remedy system into a unitary remedy system. |
