Guidelines for the entire process of civil litigation: from filing to adjudication

Civil litigation is the main legal channel for resolving civil and commercial disputes. Understanding the full litigation process helps parties better protect their legitimate rights.

Case filing materials include the complaint, evidence list, and identity documents. The court will register and accept the case within 7 days. Preparatory work before filing is critical.

After case filing, the case enters the pre-trial preparation stage. The court decides whether to accept the case within seven days. For cases meeting the filing conditions, the court accepts and issues relevant documents.

The trial process includes court investigation, court debate, mediation, and judgment. The parties should submit evidence on time and be prepared for cross-examination.
