Fund proposed to clean environment

Top court wants procedure to allot money set for restoration

The Supreme People's Court has called on the national environmental and judicial authorities to jointly set up a fund to manage, use and supervise money confiscated by courts for environmental restoration.

"The fund should clarify who is qualified to use the compensation, how to use it and who should supervise its use to ensure that the money does go to repairing the polluted environment," Wei Wenchao, deputy chief judge of the environment and ecology division of the Supreme People's Court, said on Monday.
