1. The length of time it takes to conclude a case has an important impact on the outcome of the case and the interests of the parties. In judicial practice, the length of time it takes to conclude a case varies depending on factors such as the type of case, the degree of complexity, and the trial procedure. This article will review the closing time of general cases** in order to provide reference for relevant parties.
II. The time for the conclusion of different types of cases.
1.Civil Cases.
The closing time of a civil case varies depending on the type and complexity of the case. In general, simple civil cases take less time to hear, while complex civil cases may take longer. After the court accepts the civil case, if the parties do not dispute the facts and the evidence is relatively sufficient, the court may apply the summary procedure to the trial, which can usually conclude the case within a few months. However, for some complex civil cases, such as those involving multiple parties, a large amount of evidence, or a technical appraisal is required, the trial time may be extended to a year or even longer.
2.Criminal cases.
The time it takes to close a criminal case also varies depending on the type and complexity of the case. Generally, criminal cases take longer to hear than civil cases. This is mainly because criminal cases involve the conviction and sentencing of the accused, which requires more rigorous and meticulous trials. After a criminal case is accepted by the court, if the defendant is detained, the trial time may be relatively short. However, if the accused is released on bail pending trial or is not detained, the trial may be extended. In addition, if there is an appeal, counter-appeal, etc., the trial time will also be extended. As a result, criminal cases can be concluded in a range of months to years.
3.Administrative Cases.
The time taken to close an administrative case varies depending on the type and complexity of the case. Administrative proceedings are special and may take longer to hear than civil and criminal cases. In administrative litigation, the parties need to prove that the specific administrative acts of the administrative organs are illegal or improper, which requires sufficient evidence and legal basis. In addition, administrative litigation may also involve multiple defendants, reconsideration and other procedures, which will also extend the trial time. As a result, administrative cases can be concluded between months and years.
3. Factors affecting the time for the conclusion of the case.
1.The complexity of the case.
The complexity of the case is an important factor in the time it takes to conclude the case. Complex cases require more time and effort to be heard, so the time to close them will be correspondingly longer. For example, cases involving multiple parties, a large amount of evidence, or a technical appraisal often take longer to hear.
2.Proceedings.
Different proceedings can also affect the time it takes to close a case. For example, summary proceedings will take less time than ordinary proceedings. In addition, if it involves procedures such as appeals and counter-appeals, the trial time will also be extended.
3.Judges' workload.
The workload of judges is also one of the factors affecting the time taken to complete cases. If a judge is dealing with multiple cases at the same time, or is faced with other workloads, it may affect the progress of the trial, thereby extending the time it takes to conclude the case.
Fourth, how to shorten the time for closing a case.
1.Prepare evidence and materials thoroughly.
Before the trial of the case, the parties should fully prepare evidence and materials in order to speed up the trial process. Insufficient or flawed evidence and materials may result in a disruption to the trial process or the need for a new investigation and evaluation, which may prolong the time taken to conclude the case.
2.Choosing the appropriate hearing procedure.
The parties can choose the appropriate trial procedures according to the actual circumstances of the case. For example, for simple civil cases where the facts are clear and the relationship between rights and obligations is clear, the summary procedures may be applied for trial, thereby shortening the time for concluding the case.
3.Actively cooperate with the work of the court.
The parties should actively cooperate with the work of the court and abide by the rules and requirements of the court. This speeds up the process and shortens the time it takes to close the case. At the same time, the parties should also perform the obligations determined by the judgments and rulings made by the court and other legal documents in a timely manner.
