消费民事公益诉讼惩罚性赔偿金处置路径研究

Study on Punitive Damages Disposal Path of Consumer Civil Public Interest Litigation

摘要: 我国法律未明文规定消费民事公益诉讼中惩罚性赔偿金的具体处置路径，但是在司法实务中法院似乎对这一问题已经有了明确的答案。在借鉴美国消费集团诉讼的多维度功能后，我国消费民事公益诉讼的功能应当被重构为“威慑–补偿”二元结构。在该二元结构功能指导下，对实务中的惩罚性赔偿金具体处置路径进行匹配性评估，并对适配性的处置路径进行系统矛盾的调适和内部结构的优化。

Abstract: China’s law does not explicitly stipulate the specific disposition path of punitive damages in consumer civil public interest litigation, but in judicial practice, the court seems to have a clear answer to this problem. After learning from the multi-dimensional function of American consumer group litigation, the function of China’s consumer civil public interest litigation should be reconstructed into the dual structure of “deterrence-compensation”. Under the guidance of the dual structure function, the matching evaluation is carried out on the specific disposal path of punitive damages in practice, and the adjustment of the system contradiction and the optimization of the internal structure of the adaptive disposal path are carried out.
