摘要： 举证时限制度是民事诉讼证据制度中备受争议的问题。文章坚持准备程序阶段的举证时限规制以及相对宽松的举证失权效果，同时主张以当事人的主观故意作为失权发生要件，从而适度缓和举证迟延、诉讼效率与司法公正之间的紧张关系。举证时限制度的贯彻实施有赖于司法制度的改革，在法官有权力、无权威的司法环境中，举证时限制度难以顺畅运行。

Abstract: Taking the opportunity of a thorough study on the evidence system of Civil Procedural Law, this paper reexamines the present system of time limitation on evidence submission, and analyzes the influential proposed amendments or alternatives. The author maintains that, the present regulation on time limitation on evidence submission and the legal effect of elapse of time limitation on evidence submission in the preparatory stage of civil procedure should remain unchanged; however, the subjective intension of the party should be considered as the condition of denial of evidence submission when the elapse of time limitation occurs, so as to relax the tension among the prevention of delay of evidence submission, promotion of the litigation efficiency and realization of justice. Furthermore, the effective operation of the time limitation on evidence submission depends on the reform of judicial systems. In a judicial environment where the judge has judicial power but the judgment has no authority,the time limitation system on evidence submission would not operate smoothly.
