Court Development |
Xuhui District People's Court of Shanghai gives full play to its role as a people's court, enforcing laws in a just way for the people and impartial justice to protect the healthy development of the regional economy and social harmony and stability. In 2002, the Court took the lead in introducing the new procedure named 'defensing of sentencing' in China, which granted the prosecutor the right of proposing the penalty and safeguarded the defendant's right of sentencing claim to further standardize sentencing, making the criminal justice more open, impartial and transparent. In the judgment of a theft case in May 2, 2011, the Court for the first time gave an injunction to the defendant that was under a suspended sentence. Besides, the Court added the procedure of suspended sentence hearing for the defendant to bring the roles of both the judicial authority and the social correction authority into better play. Since 2009, the Court, through continuous exploration and practice, has created a justice service platform with 'Qin Lingmei Tour Mediation Room', 'Litigation Service Center', 'Enforcement Service Center', and “Online Enforcement Service Center' to deal with judicial affairs in an impartial and efficient way. In addition, the Court continuously extended the judicial functions and magnified the effect of judgment by providing judicial advice and Judgment White Paper and other ways of suggesting that the airport code in standard language should be indicated on the airline ticket, standardizing the prior admission first-aid system of medical institutions, strengthening prevention of duty crimes and improving the anti-corruption mechanism to promote and participate in the social management innovation according to laws. |
