环境公益诉讼并非一种独立的诉讼类型。环境公益诉讼是原告以"凡市民"中一分子的身份诉诸司法之诉讼。环境公益诉讼并非通过与环境行政监管者的结盟为环境行政监管补强,而是通过"监管监管者"来实现环境公益目标之维护。环境公益与私人利益的内在关联是环境公益转化为私主体诉诸司法之权利的最终根据,而"利益归属主体"与"利益代表主体"的疏离为环境公益诉讼提供了诉讼法上的依据。环境公益诉讼的性质、功能定位及诉权基础决定了环境公益诉讼仍具有民事诉讼和行政诉讼的基本属性。
Environmental public interest litigation is not an independent litigation type. Its plaintiff appeals to justice in the capacity of a member of "citizens",and it is not through the alliance with the environmental administrative regulators for the environmental administrative supervision,but through "supervising regulators"to achieve the maintenance of environmental public interest objectives. The inner link between the environmental public interest and the private interest is the final basis of the environmental public interest into the right of the private subject to resort to justice,while the alienation of the "interests attribution subject"and the "interests representative subject"provides the basis of procedural law for environmental public interest litigation. The nature,function orientation and litigation right foundation of environmental public interest litigation decide that the environmental public interest litigation still follows the basic property of civil litigation and administrative litigation.
