4. Case-filing register system comes into operation
On May 1, 2015, a case-filing register system began operating. People's courts should accept and register all cases of litigation, handle all those that meet the conditions of admissibility and prosecution, ensure that all cases are entered and properly handled, and that litigious rights are exercised without obstruction.
From May to December 2015, 9.94 million first trial cases were registered at courts across the country, a year-on-year increase of 29.54 percent. The on-the-spot case registration accounted for 95 percent of all cases, among which civil cases increased 26.45 percent, administrative cases 66.51 percent and criminal cases 58.66 percent.
Difficulties in filing administrative lawsuits concerning housing demolition, land acquisition, and government information disclosure were significantly eased.
