The head of China’s top court pointed out the need to strengthen supervision and examine implementation of court reform in a conference on judicial reform held on Sept 12.

Zhou Qiang, chief justice and president of the Supreme People’s Court, said that it’s necessary to supervise implementation of reformative measures in court.

At the conference, an overall working plan on centralized supervision of judicial reform and its working measures were deliberated and special supervision measures over major projects of judicial reform were deployed.

Zhou emphasized the need to promote supervision over judicial reform, saying that as of now, comprehensive and deep judicial system reform is to be implemented in an all-round way and more contradictions and problems are required to be resolved.

Zhou required multiple measures to be taken in supervising the reform such as flexible conversations, questionnaires, checking case management systems and random checks over case files to ensure that the real problems and condition can be found.

It’s necessary to concentrate on solving the major and difficult problems. Judicial reform covers a wide focus on major areas such as judicial responsibility, internal institutional reform, judicial protection over property rights and environmental resource trial system reform, according to Zhou.

Zhou also deemed it necessary to accelerate judicial supervision working system improvements and to supervise reporting to analyze reform progress, implement effects, solve existing problems and discover their causes to provide meaningful resolutions.

Concerning feedback for rectification of the problems, it’s necessary to reflect them in a timely way to courts in all regions, listing the problems and setting out concrete requirements.
