Abstract
AbstractBefore we start to explore specific aspects and procedures of civil litigation in China, it is necessary to look through some basic concepts and systems under the Chinese law first. This chapter will cover such aspects as China’s 4-level court system, how many instances will a civil case go through, how cases are numbered and what information does the case number reveal, what is cause of action and its functions, how much court fee do the parties need to pay, and an overview of the whole process of civil litigation in China. At last, a brief introduction to Chinese lawyers’ role and function is presented as well. We hope this chapter could help readers build a framework of China’s civil litigation system and go through other sections of this book more efficiently.
