China Targets Wrongful Verdicts in Commercial Property Cases

China’s Supreme People’s Court (SPC) has set up a task force focused on rectifying potentially wrongful verdicts handed down in property-related cases involving private businesses and entrepreneurs, with the goal of better protecting their rights and interests under a more optimal legal environment that supports the growth of the private economy.

The group is led by high-level officials from the SPC, with the strengthening of oversight for retrials and appeals cases involving property rights complaints carried out in courts nationwide, according to a statement on the SPC’s website on Tuesday.
