公聽會發言內容：
2017年司改國是會議明確決議應推動法庭直播，也仔細考量隱私與公平審判之權衡，但令人遺憾的是，這麼多年過去了，目前仍僅由憲法法庭得公開播送，司法院2018年內部擬具草案後便無下文。
為了落實司改國是會議決議、讓司法受到公眾監督，台灣民眾黨團負責任地提出法案，希望以法律審應採「原則公開、例外不公開」、事實審則採「原則不公開、例外公開」之方式推動法庭直播，卻遭受莫名的抹黑。
有綠營立委造謠，需要好幾百億才能實施法庭直播，但依據司法院的預估，一間直播法庭的建置法院約百萬餘，近年來每年最高法院行言詞辯論的次數根本不到十件，即使加上每一場的轉播費用3萬元，如何有好幾百億？更何況，當初司法院在推動「人民參與審判」花費多少？花了數千萬給綠媒，司法院現在在哭窮？
更離譜的是，還有綠媒一條龍抹紅稱，積極推動法庭直播的是中共，難道有法庭直播的國家，如英國的最高法院與上訴法院、美國的州法院都是向中共看齊？此外，事實審的法庭直播在我國也不是新鮮事，2000年蘇建和案，高等法院更審即全程直播。
台灣民眾黨的提案從未要求一律法庭直播，已如前述。在有侵害個人隱私、營業秘密、審判公平性之虞，當然必須予以限制。至於在具體個案上，所涉及重大公共利益程度與其他利益之間的權衡，也由法官做最後之裁決。
根據台灣民眾黨所做的民調，超過七成五支持法庭直播，就連民進黨的支持者，也有73%支持，我們會持續努力回應民意，讓陽光照進幽暗的司法。

Translation:
At the 2017 National Affairs Conference on Judicial Reform, a clear consensus emerged in favor of promoting courtroom live streaming, with careful attention to balancing the public's right to know with the protection of privacy and the right to a fair trial. Yet, despite the passage of several years, only the Constitutional Court currently permits live stream broadcasts. Since the Judicial Yuan drafted an internal proposal in 2018, no substantive progress has been made.
To fulfill the resolution of the National Affairs Conference on Judicial Reforme and enhance transparency and public oversight, the Taiwan People's Party has taken a responsible and measured approach by proposing a bill. This legislation establishes that trial of law should, in principle, be open to public viewing, with exceptions for sensitive proceedings, while trial courts on matters of fact would remain principally closed, subject to exceptions where openness is appropriate. Regrettably, this balanced proposal has been subject to distortion and misrepresentation.
Some legislators from the ruling party have irresponsibly exaggerated the costs, falsely asserting that implementing live streaming would require expenditures of more than ten billions of New Taiwan dollars. This claim is categorically misleading. According to the Judicial Yuan's own estimates, equipping a courtroom for live broadcasting costs approximately NT$1 million. The Supreme Court, for example, holds fewer than ten oral hearings annually. Even with an additional NT$30,000 per session for live broadcasting, the projected costs fall dramatically short of the inflated figures cited. Moreover, the Judicial Yuan has not hesitated to invest substantial sums—amounting to tens of millions of NTD—in pro-green media to promote citizen participation in trials. It is therefore inconsistent and disingenuous to cite budgetary concerns as an obstacle to courtroom transparency.
More troubling are pro-green media narratives alleging that the push for courtroom live streaming is part of a Chinese Communist Party directive. This baseless accusation defies logic. Are countries like the United Kingdom, where the Supreme Court and appellate courts routinely livestream proceedings, or the numerous U.S. states that permit courtroom live streaming, also acting under Beijing's influence? Taiwan has its own precedent: in 2000, he High Court's retrial of the Su Jian-he(蘇建和) case was fully broadcast,demonstrating that The concept of livestreaming trial court proceedings on matters of fact is neither novel nor foreign.
The Taiwan People's Party's proposal does not advocate for indiscriminate or universal livestreaming of court proceedings. As explicitly stated, cases involving sensitive issues—such as personal privacy, confidential business information, or concerns about trial fairness—would remain closed to the public. Judges would retain full discretion to decide whether a case warrants public broadcast, balancing the public interest with legal and ethical considerations.
Public sentiment strongly favors judicial transparency. A survey conducted by the Taiwan People's Party found that over 75% of respondents support livestreaming court proceedings, including 73% of Democratic Progressive Party supporters. We are committed to honoring this public mandate and will continue our efforts to promote openness in the judiciary, fostering trust through transparency and accountability.
