Research center to assist with foreign legal cases
Print Edition
A RESEARCH center opened yesterday at the East China University of Political Science and Law to offer support to courts in Shanghai and across the Yangtze River Delta Region.
The Research Center for the Proof of Foreign Law is a joint venture between the university and the Shanghai Higher People’s Court. It will be staffed by legal experts from the worlds of academia and commerce, as well as foreign language specialists, said Lin Yanping, the university’s vice president.
“The center will provide a host of services, including searching for foreign legal documents and cases, and translating and interpreting them,” he said. It will also receive input from legal experts around the world.
“Our lack of knowledge of foreign laws has caused difficulties in the past,” said Sheng Yongqiang, vice president of the Shanghai Higher People’s Court.
Courts handled 2,000 cases last year involving foreigners or foreign firms, he said.
“But due to a lack of proof of foreign law, several of them had to be suspended, while in others, prosecutors were forced to base their decisions on local laws,” Sheng said.
