Recently, the fate of the China Judgments Network has attracted much attention.
Since its launch in July 2013, the China Judgments Network has been expanded in 10 years, and a total of 1With more than 300 million articles, it has not only become the world's largest database of judgment documents, but also regarded as one of the landmark achievements of China's judicial reform and judicial openness.
On July 1, 2013, as a unified public platform for all courts across the country, the China Judgments Network was officially launched. The SPC subsequently stated that the online publication of judgment documents will help improve judicial transparency, protect the public's right to know, and strengthen judicial supervision. Second, this practice is conducive to further enhancing the professional quality of judges handling cases, and every document will be subject to inspection and comment by the people, so judges must be more cautious in the trial of each case and take the initiative to improve their professional standards.
Now, Jiemian News reports with concern: In recent years, with the continuous decline in the number of public judgments every year, the login method has become more and more difficult, and the public's doubts about whether the China Judgment Opinions Network can continue to insist on the public release of judgment documents are also deepening. In particular, after the Supreme People's Court issued a notice on the establishment of a separate national court judgment database, the position of the China Judgment Network has become more and more embarrassing.
In fact, this is not the embarrassment and dilemma unique to the China Judgments Network. The arbitration platform on the official website of the Football Association, which was launched in a high-profile manner in 2017, has also changed from vigorous to silent.
On November 17, 2017, the Youth Times reported on the new things incubated by the reform and innovation of the Football Association under the headline of "The Football Association's official website launches the arbitration platform". The text says:Recently, the official website of the Chinese Football Association has launched an arbitration platform, and there is an arbitration entrance on the right side of the official website, which includes two sections: case acceptance, court formation announcement, and ** announcement.
At present, there are 5 pieces of information in the announcement of the acceptance of the case, the first of which is on November 13, involving the content of Beijing Guoan player Zhang Xizhe's complaint to the Disciplinary Committee of the Football Association. Previously, Zhang Xizhe hit his opponent in the face in the league and was punished by the Football Association with a 12-game ban. The content queried by the arbitration platform shows that the Arbitration Committee of the Football Association has accepted the complaint.
At that time, I was working for a commercial sports ** as a reporter, and I often logged on to the official website of the Football Association as a tourist to look for clues to report, just like what ** companies often do today-habitually visiting the China Judgment Document Network to dig out social news clues. However, the good times did not last long, and only a year later, the arbitration platform announced that it was "suspended". The reason is "due to the transformation and upgrading of the arbitration platform system". The method of applying for arbitration has been changed back to local law, and the appeal materials will be sent to the e-mail address.
Now, there is an "iteration" of the restored arbitration platform: after clicking on the arbitration entrance, the official website will automatically jump out of a login page asking for account registration. This means that the access threshold has been rapidly raised, and ordinary netizens can no longer easily query the case acceptance information in the form of visitors.
Of course, players in the industry who are supposed to have "access qualifications" still registered as a matter of course, trying to get justice from the Football Association. In April 2022, Southern Weekly reported such an interesting appeal case: Du Yuxin, a player who played at a club in Hebei Province and suffered salary arrears, submitted materials to the arbitration committee on the official website of the Football Association. But according to his own words - "the second time I logged in, the account was blocked". Southern Weekend reporters later called the Chinese Football Association for arbitration** for several days, but it kept showing a "calling" status.
Compared with the eye-catching homepage entrance prompt in the past, the font size of the "arbitration entrance" of the Football Association has now been reduced many times and is no longer conspicuous. It shows a posture of "ignoring everyone" and showing a state of "lack of sincerity".
Behind the sharp contraction of this "arbitration entrance", there must be a new subtle contraction in the decision-making logic of the top level of the Football Association.
