近年,我国食品安全事件、环境污染事件不断发生。社会公共利益的保护,催生公益诉讼的立法。2012年8月31日新修订的民事诉讼法首次明确规定了公益诉讼,但规定过于笼统,有“犹抱琵琶半遮面”之嫌,在实践中运用,仍需不断完善。 In recent years, China’s food safety incidents, environmental pollution incidents continue to occur. The protection of social public interests, the birth of public interest litigation legislation. On August 31, 2012, the newly revised civil procedural law clearly stipulated public interest litigation for the first time. However, the provisions are too general and there is a suspicion that “it still holds half the cover.” In practice, we still need to constantly improve.
