情報請求權（資訊請求權）非僅具實體法上之權利性質，其且係訴訟前之舉證責任減輕制度，而得用供作為調整因當事人間於證據掌握能力不足而造成之程序上不平等，如能就此制度強化其理論構成，應能有助於真實發現及訴訟目的之達成。基本上，我國實體法上並不乏情報請求權之規定，但因學說上，就其在程序上之意義，尚未有充分之討論；因而實務上，情報請求權人多以攻擊防禦方法之方式主張之，而未能充分發揮其制度目的，誠屬可惜。本文有鑑於此，乃引介德國相關制度，並闡析其制度運用之方法及內容，且就訴訟上可能之替代制度予以評估，期藉此，得令國內對此一制度為充分之認識。

Abstract The right for information（Auskunftsanspruche） is not only a right provide strengthened. In our country, the articles regarding the right for information can be easily found in many substantial laws. However, its procedural significance is still not fully discussed yet. In order to help our people to properly understand this system, we would like to introduce the similar system in Germany and analyze its nature as well as the appropriate way to use it. In addition, we woed in substantial laws, but also a system to mitigate the responsibility of litigants in providing evidence during a civil action. It is helpful in finding truth and fulfilling the goals of the civil procedure if the theory of this system could buld also like to study on other possible substitute systems.
