Recently, the Supreme People's Court (SPC) issued the Opinions on Implementing the Judicial Accountability System to Improve the Trial Supervision Management Mechanism (for Trial Implementation) and the Opinions on Enhancing the Work on the Handling of Cases by the Presidents and Division Chiefs of the People's Courts at All Levels (for Trial Implementation).
According to the Opinions on Trial Supervision Management, the people's courts at all levels must, after the reform toward a judge appointment quota system is completed, strictly carry out requirements of reforming the judicial accountability system to ensure the adjudicative power and responsibility of trial judges. They should, as required by judicial principles, continue to improve the trial supervision management mechanisms by information technology. The full trace of performance of trial supervision management duties by court presidents and division chiefs should be permanently retained in the business platforms, including but not limited to time, content, time limits, and results.
The Opinions on the Handling of Cases by Court Presidents and Division Chiefs stress that the presidents and divisional chiefs of the people's courts at all levels should, after appointment, handle cases, particularly cases that are serious, difficult, complex, and new and cases that are of widespread guiding significance in the application of law. The Opinions also clarify the minimum annual caseloads of the presidents and division chiefs of basic and intermediate people's courts, and require that the caseloads of court presidents and division chiefs be under public scrutiny and subject to regular inspection and monthly notification by courts at a higher level.
