More lawsuits filed

The number of lawsuits filed last month across China rose 29 percent from a year ago after courts adopted measures to ease filing procedures. On May 1, Chinese courts changed their filing procedure from accreditation to registration, which greatly lowered the barriers for filing a case. Unlike the previous practice of examining cases before they are filed, cases are now accepted by courts immediately as long as they meet basic requirements. Between May 1 and Thursday, about 1.1 million cases were filed across the country, said the Supreme People鈥檚 Court yesterday. The number of administrative cases increased by 221 percent, and private prosecution of criminal cases increased by 149 percent.
