Busy courts online
Print Edition
AN online court has been established in east China’s Zhejiang Province to deal with e-commerce cases. The pilot program was initiated by Zhejiang’s Provincial Higher People’s Court and includes three district courts and the Hangzhou Intermediate People’s Court.
The online court is responsible for disputes related to online finance, online payment, infringement of Internet copyright, and online transactions.
It has received 247 lawsuits since being launched on August 13.
Zhang Zheng, an official with Hangzhou Intermediate People’s Court, said all legal procedures can be done through the new system. Plaintiffs can register on the website of the online court, file lawsuits and pay legal costs.
Zhang said local courts had been under great pressure because of the growing number of e-commerce-related cases. For example, Yuhang District court received 1,229 Internet-related cases during the first nine months of this year, up 192.62 percent from last year.
