China News Service, February 24. The Supreme Law held a press conference today to release ten typical cases of the protection of the rights and interests of the elderly in the people's courts.

The trial judge of the Supreme Court of Justice Wang Dan stated at the press conference that some people with ulterior motives deceive the elderly by using the name of "retirement by house" to achieve the purpose of illegally occupying their properties.

People's courts pay attention to screening in the trial of related cases, and intensify crackdowns on illegal acts.

  At the press conference, the reporter asked that due to the population policy, it is common for a young couple to support four elderly people, and the burden of family support is too heavy.

In recent years, new forms of old-age care such as social institutions and "house-based old-age care" have come into the eyes of the general public. How do the people's courts protect the legal rights and interests of relevant elderly groups?

  In this regard, Wang Dan said that at present, whether it is based on my country's traditional customs or actual national conditions, elderly care is still based on home.

However, due to the impact of population policies, the current burden of one-child care for the elderly is also a reality.

Actively responding to population aging has become a long-term strategic task of the country.

In 2013, the State Council issued the "Several Opinions on Accelerating the Development of the Elderly Service Industry", which proposed to carry out a pilot program of reverse mortgage pension insurance for the elderly, which is colloquially referred to as "household pension".

It should be said that the model of "retire care by housing" provides a new way of thinking for the elderly who "have real estate under their name but no cash in their hands".

  However, from the perspective of judicial practice, some people with ulterior motives deceive the elderly by using the name of "retirement by housing" to achieve the purpose of illegally occupying the property of the elderly.

The people’s courts pay attention to screening in the trial of relevant cases, increase efforts to crack down on illegal acts, and better safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly by confirming the invalidity of the contract in accordance with the law, and effectively guarantee that the elderly can enjoy the state and enjoy the state. The policy dividend also avoids falling into the trap of "routine loans" and realizes that the elderly can live there.

  Wang Dan pointed out that at this stage, in addition to home-based care for the elderly, living and living in elderly care institutions is also an important way for the elderly.

Taking into account the special physical, intellectual and mental health of the elderly, when dealing with related disputes, it is necessary to give corresponding care obligations to the elderly care institutions.

  "This time we also selected a typical case in which an elderly care institution was sentenced to bear the liability for compensation because it failed to fulfill the corresponding duty of care. This case not only reminds all children to inform the elderly as much as possible when sending them to an elderly care institution. People’s physical health also warns elderly care institutions that they should perform their duties in caring for the elderly, strengthen management, eliminate safety hazards that endanger the lives and health of the elderly, improve the quality and ability of nursing staff, and fully protect the personal and property safety of the elderly , To ensure that the elderly live a happy and healthy life." Wang Dan said.
