China’s Cyberspace court points to digital future?!

  • News

According to media reports, China has launched a cyber-court to handle internet-related disputes. China’s new cyber-court in the city of Hangzhou (home of Alibaba and NetEase) will hear cases which are e-commerce and internet related. Due to Du Qian, the cyber-court chief justice, the aim of the cyber court is to “offer regular people an efficient, low-cost solution to these new kinds of disputes that take place on the internet.” The court will have the ability to handle all aspects of a case online from beginning to end.

The court will accept filings electronically and try cases via live stream for the following areas of dispute:

  • contract disputes arising from online shopping,
  • product liability disputes arising from online shopping,
  • internet service contract disputes,
  • internet copyright infringement disputes, and
  • disputes arising from financial loans executed online.

To file a case, plaintiffs must first have their identity verified either through Alipay (Alibaba’s payment service) or by physically showing an ID to a court clerk in Hangzhou. A lawsuit can be filed in five minutes, and that litigating these types of cases online will save time and reduce costs.

Once filed, pre-trial mediation is attempted through internet, phone, or videoconference, and if a resolution is not reached, the suit is formally submitted to the case filing division of the court, which is handled online.

Individuals can also submit evidence and attend their trial remotely through their created cyber-court account. All data transmissions related to court proceedings are encrypted by Alibaba Cloud.
