China's legislative bodies have started background investigation and drafting of the civil compulsory execution law, said Jiang Wei, vice-president of the Supreme People's Court (SPC), at a seminar of the World Enforcement Conference on Jan 22.

At the seminar, Jiang outlined the enforcement system in China which contains the Civil Procedure Law and others, more than 20 judicial interpretations made by the SPC and dozens of regulations.

He said, the SPC-led group drafting the civil compulsory execution law is striving to complete it by the end of 2019.

The law must normalize enforcement procedures and set the building of a modern enforcement system as a goal to ensure the code being applied properly in real judicial work.

The seminar, themed on the "Future of Enforcement of Legislation", was chaired by Gong Jiali, Guangdong Provincial High People's Court. Also present at the seminar were judicial officers from Croatia, Cuinea-Bissau, Laos, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Russia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and the UK, and other countries and regions.
