Being an important link of smart courts,placing a case on file on Internet in civil litigation has dual values.One is to guarantee the party’s highly efficient exercise of the right to action,and the other is to promote the court to exercise the right of placing a case on file efficiently.Owing to the lack of unitary application rules and norms of placing a case on file in civil litigation for the courts all over the country,the subjects of litigation are reluctant to file a case on file on Internet.In the Civil Procedure Law revised in 2021,the validity of starting litigation on the online platform has been determined.Then,the courts all over the country produced relevant proposed norms in succession and provided legislative support for the regular operation of the system of placing a case on file on Internet in civil litigation.However,some problems came into existence during its operation,which include the lack of unitary norms,the inconsistence of the scope of accepting cases and the subjects of application,the inconsistence of the procedures of placing a case on file and the way to submit materials,etc.These problems impede the operation of the system and deviate from the original legislative intention.Therefore,it is necessary to unify the legal grounds for the system of placing a case on file,to regulate the scope of accepting cases and the subjects of application,to define the modes of placing a case on file on Internet,to enhance the lawyer’s service platform for placing a case on file on Internet,and to formulate the modes of placing a case on file on Internet.The study of the system is advantageous to provide convenient and highly efficient service for the subjects of litigation,to lead the subjects of litigation to change their concepts of placing a case on file,to realize the optimized configuration of judicial resources,to guarantee the purpose of the party’s exercise of litigious rights,and to form the effective combination and benign reactions between the judiciary,science and technology. |
