民事判决中的表示错误是指受诉法院在判决形成过程中意思与表示之间的不相一致。书写错误、计算错误乃典型的表示错误。民事判决出现表示错误,不仅有损判决固有的意义,也会对判决的将来执行造成不必要的障碍,因而应予更正。民事判决表示错误的更正程序具有简易性和便宜性。表示错误的更正不影响判决的实质内容,判决的可上诉性、既判力与执行力均以更正后的判决内容为基准。我国现行《民事诉讼法》以“判决书中的笔误”指称表示错误并不科学,在表示错误更正程序的设计上也存在明显不足,亟待完善。 Misrepresentation in civil judgment refers to the inconsistency between the meaning and the expression of the court of appeal in the formation of the judgment. Writing errors, calculation errors are typical of that error. The appearance of an error in civil judgments not only undermines the inherent meaning of the verdict, but also creates unnecessary obstacles to the execution of the verdict and should be corrected. Civil adjudication wrongly corrected procedures are simple and cheap. The correction that indicates the mistake does not affect the substantive content of the judgment. The appellantness, res judicata and execution ability of the judgment are based on the corrected ruling. It is unscientific to say that the current “Code of Civil Procedure” is based on the “clerical error in the judgment”, indicating that there are obvious deficiencies in the design of the procedure for correcting mistakes. It is in urgent need of improvement.
