Judicial Transparency
Share

The Supreme People's Court, China's highest judicial body, issued a judicial interpretation that clarifies procedures for cross-examining cases of state compensation.

The move aims to boost judicial transparency and ensure that compensation claimants and liable parties have equal rights to information, participation and expression.

According to the interpretation, cross-examination should be made public except for cases that involve state secrets, personal privacy or are otherwise stipulated as unsuitable to be shared publicly by law.

It also details the distribution of evidential burden and establishes a time limit system for presenting evidence.

The interpretation is expected to standardize the procedures for cross-examination used by courts at various levels when they hear cases involving state compensation.
