起诉前证据保全的可大致划分为传统型与现代型,传统型机能即是对证据的保存与固定,而现代型机能则体现为收集证据、促成集中审理与促进诉讼外纠纷解决。在程序机能扩张的基础上,诉前证据保全程序的独立性也逐渐加强,适用情形也在固有的证据可能灭失或难以使用这一情形的基础上有所扩张,而包含了当事人同意,于确定事、物之现状有法律上利益并有必要的情形。%The functions of evidence preservation before civil action can be roughly divided into the traditional one and the modern one .Traditional function is preservation of evidence , while the modern one is to collect evi-dence, concentrate on adjudication and facilitate dispute settlement outside the court .With the expansion of the function , the evidence procedure becomes more independent and can be applicable to more circumstances , ranging from when the evidence is hard to be preserved or is likely to be destroyed to when the litigant applies for the evi -dence preservation and when it is necessary to keep the evidence as it is now .
