Better rights for Taiwan people

The rights and interests of people from Taiwan involved in civil cases will be better safeguarded with the introduction of a legal interpretation of documents concerning such cases.

The Supreme People's Court said yesterday when mainland courts send documents to a Taiwan litigant, the documents can be directly transferred to the recipient if he or she happens to be on the mainland.

And if the recipient is not on the mainland, the documents can be delivered to the recipient's lawyers or other designated representatives in the mainland.
