III Precision Judicial Administration in All Respects
The construction of informatization and smart courts are achieving precision in trial and enforcement of cases and internal administration of courts through informatization systems and big data analysis.
In the aspect of operation and maintenance,the analysis and visualization capabilities of the operation and maintenance platform and its voice dispatching capabilities have been improved to achieve platform-based and model-based management,and to promote the implementation of an operation and maintenance system focusing on quality and efficiency in the People’s courts. The Supreme People’s Court has provided its three office areas,six circuit courts,the intellectual property court and the National Trial Information Resource Management Centre with access to the China Unicom cloud and the Capcloud (Shouxin cloud),ensuring the sound operation of operation and maintenance system focusing on quality and efficiency. In addition,it has guided China’s high courts and some intermediate courts in construction of visualized operation and maintenance platforms and operation and maintenance systems focusing on quality and efficiency. The overall monitoring rate of infrastructure and the monitoring rate of self-owned equipment have both reached 95%. As much as 80 per cent of the application systems have been monitored in general,and 100 per cent of the core applications have been monitored. The monitoring rate of data resources has reached 75 per cent in general,and the core data resource monitoring rate has reached 85 per cent.
The big data management and service platform of the people’s courts has ensured that the confidence level of case data remains above 99% through a strict data quality management mechanism and scientific data quality verification methods. The platform automatically generates nearly 600,000 reports and records of courts at all levels nationwide every day,with nearly 2.2 billion items of information entered into the calculations every year. As a result,the people’s courts have not only ended the era of manual collection of statistics,but also significantly improved the analysis of trial trends in courts at all levels in timeliness,comprehensiveness and richness by utilizing the centralized and aggregated judicial trial data resources. At the same time,through correlation and integration of case data and personnel data,it has supported the establishment of an information-based performance management system of persons and cases,and matters and persons.
At present,the precision of court informatization and smart court construction has been explored and progress was made in some courts and fields. Some courts have cooperated with the three major telecommunication carriers to verify defendants’ telephone information and identity information in a timely manner,and have served defendants by “flash+”. Some courts have cooperated with united express delivery companies and online shopping platforms to verify defendants’ address information in a timely manner,and have served defendants accurately by mail. These above ways all made use of information integration technology to precisely push court information needed.
The precision practice in implementation of information technology is particularly worth mentioning. In order to break the traditional case-handling mode of “one person solely responsible for a case until it is completed”,Jiangsu courts implemented the “854 mode” in the operation of its enforcement command centers in 2019. The enforcement command centers of Jiangsu courts at all levels focused on handling eight types of routine work,provided five types of technical services,assumed four management responsibilities,and provided a full range of system support for the enforcement and case handling teams. In this way,enforcement was significantly enhanced in intensiveness,precision and standardization. Such actions as passive enforcement,selective enforcement,illegal enforcement and inappropriate enforcement were effectively reduced in the courts. The Jiangsu courts also connected the enforcement and case handling system with the trial and case handling system,aiming at information sharing between the two systems. In case filing,they automatically detected duplicate cases of parties and automatically imported original trial case documents (including judgments,mediation documents,rulings and other documents of enforcement basis,and written confirmations of service address),and linked with preservation cases and related litigation cases. In cases handling,access could be obtained to such documents of enforcement basis as trial case files,preservation case files and previous enforcement case files (case files of the first enforcement and all the previous resumptions of enforcement),as well as the electronic files of the present case for enforcement. Jiangsu courts added in the system the precision management system module of subject matters of enforcement cases. Thus,the system could record the personal property inventory of judges and the property inventory of the enforcement bureau,take different measures for different types of property,determine handling periods and track handling in real time. A system has also been established to measure in different dimensions the efficiency of a variety of property control and disposal measures,and determine the handling period of each measure. Different colors were used to mark those close to or exceeding the handling period respectively in order to remind the handling persons and the persons in charge of the enforcement bureau.
