近几年,我国的群体性诉讼案件数量增多并出现以下发展趋势:第一,纠纷涉及社会生产、生活各个领域。第二,受害人数迅速增多。随着经济的快速发展,产品大量生产销售方法的运用,一旦发生事故,受害人数目可达上百上千人。第三,一些事故灾难的诉讼受害者跨省市、跨地区,范围相当广。第四,近两年,关系社会民生的群体性受害事件频频发生,造成极大社会不安定因素,引起政府部门及社会公众的高度重视。如牵动整个中国乳制品行业的三聚氰胺事件等。这类群体性受害事件已经涉及到我们的食品质量、食品卫生安全领域。我国的代表人诉讼制度正面临着各种新问题的挑战,因而在发挥程序保障的功能上显得有些力不从心。本文对我国代表人诉讼制度及其适用现状进行了介绍,并借鉴美国模式提出一些完善我国代表人诉讼制度的设想,希望对我国代表人诉讼制度的发展与完善有所裨益。
