China News Service, Beijing, August 30 (Reporter Zhang Suliang Xiaohui) After nearly a year of exploration, the trial functions of the four-level courts have been gradually optimized, the structure and distribution of cases have become more reasonable, the allocation of judicial powers has become more scientific, and the quality and efficiency of conflict resolution has been effectively improved. The people's sense of fairness and justice has been continuously enhanced... The "Interim Report of the Supreme People's Court on the Pilot Reform of the Positioning of Trial Functions of Four-level Courts" was submitted to the Thirty-sixth Session of the Standing Committee of the Thirteenth National People's Congress for deliberation on the 30th. (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") so stated.

　　According to reports, the pilot work aims to optimize and improve the trial-level functions of the four-level courts.

This includes promoting the transfer of four types of administrative cases that are not difficult to hear, subject to less local interference, and are suitable for local resolution, to be heard by the basic people's courts.

Simultaneously improve the level of jurisdiction standards for civil cases, and realize the further lowering of the focus of trials.

　　The report pointed out that after the adjustment of the jurisdiction standards at the civil and administrative levels, the number of "sinking" civil and administrative first-instance cases accepted by the pilot courts has increased only slightly, and the quality of trials has remained stable and improved.

The pilot basic-level people's courts accepted a total of 9,570 "sinking" civil cases, accounting for only 0.15% of all new first-instance civil cases received during the same period. The appeal rate of first-instance civil cases and the second-instance revision rate were 8.73% and 1.25%, respectively, which were higher than those before the pilot. The year-on-year decrease was 0.2 and 0.04 percentage points respectively.

　　The pilot basic-level people's courts accepted 11,275 "sinking" four types of administrative cases, accounting for 6.76% of the first-instance administrative cases, of which 7,545 were concluded, and the second-instance reissue rate was 1.74%, down 0.26 percentage points from the first three months of the pilot. The quality of trials has steadily improved.

　　When summarizing the phased results of the pilot work, the report believes that the focus of the trial is reasonably lowered, and that conflicts and disputes are promoted to achieve fair, efficient and substantive resolution at the grassroots level.

At the same time, the promotion of jurisdiction mechanism has been effectively activated, and the functions of high and intermediate people's courts in hearing major and typical first-instance cases have become more prominent.

　　The data shows that since the pilot program, the high and intermediate people's courts have raised a total of 435 cases, a year-on-year increase of 19.5%. Among them, 23.7% of the cases involve major national interests and social and public interests, and 33.96% of the cases are relatively new types within their jurisdictions. , difficult and complicated cases, 34.91% of the cases have guiding significance for the application of general laws, and the cases of elevated jurisdiction involve the confirmation of data rights, unfair competition on the Internet, the qualification of new business employers, the effectiveness of education and training contracts under the "double reduction" policy, etc. Legal Issues.

　　Another data shows that since the pilot program, the Supreme People's Court has newly received 2,275 civil and administrative applications for retrial review cases, a decrease of 85.33% compared with that before the pilot program. Significant optimization has been made to effectively solve the problems of indiscriminate retrial applications and idling review procedures.

　　In his report to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, Zhou Qiang, President of the Supreme People's Court, also talked about some problems and difficulties in the pilot reform, including the unbalanced development of the pilot courts and the continuous improvement of supporting guarantee mechanisms.

　　He said that at present, the pilot reform of the trial-level functions of the four-level courts has entered a critical period of reform, and the tasks and responsibilities of advancing various tasks are arduous.

In the next step, the Supreme People's Court will further promote the pilot work, ensure the successful completion of the pilot task, and promote the improvement of the trial-level system with Chinese characteristics and in line with judicial laws.

Among them, a special management mechanism for retrial review cases and retrial cases will be established to ensure that major typical cases are handled in a timely manner and with high quality.
