我国第三人撤销之诉与案外人申请再审之比较

A Comparison between a Third Party’s Revocation and an Outsider’s Application for Retrial

摘要: 第三人撤销之诉制度与案外人申请再审制度都是为了维护未参加诉讼的第三人的利益，两者有着相同的制度目的。但两者在法律规定与司法实践中存在着一定的区别，例如原告适格条件不同、诉讼时效不同、裁判效力不同等。两个目的相同的诉讼制度如何适用，存在着争议，有主张取代说与共存说，后实践选择了共存说。在共存说的基础上，本文为两种制度应该如何衔接提出了建议。

Abstract: Both the system of the third party’s revocation and the system of the third party’s application for retrial are to protect the interests of the third party who did not participate in the litigation. How-ever, there are some differences between the two in legal provisions and judicial practice, such as different qualifications of the plaintiff, different prescription of action and different effects of judgment. There are disputes about how to apply the litigation system with the same purpose. On the basis of coexistence theory, this paper puts forward some suggestions on how to link the two systems.
