"Small courts" unleash the "big energy" of grassroots governance
The People's Court of Guangxi Longsheng Autonomous County of All Nationalities has been able to actively perform its duties and promote the front-line resolution of contradictions and disputes.
In the cold winter season, everything is hidden in winter. Walking through Huangli Town, Longsheng Autonomous County, Guilin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, I saw that the streets were neat and clean, the vendors were busy, and the pedestrians were smiling, and there was a stable and peaceful scene everywhere. Behind the harmonious picture is the embodiment of the achievements of Longsheng County in comprehensively promoting grassroots social governance. As the "frontier position" for resolving contradictions and disputes, the Longsheng County People's Court's Huangli People's Court hears cases in its jurisdiction fairly and efficiently in accordance with the law, resolves contradictions and disputes, interprets the feelings of justice for the people with practical actions, and gives full play to the court power of grassroots social governance.
Over the mountains and mountains to resolve contradictions and disputes
Judge, there is a more difficult property damage compensation dispute in our village, which involves the industrial road of the villager group and the industrial development of more than 30 villagers, please come and help us mediate. ”
On September 7, 2023, the secretary of the Party branch of Liuman Village, Huangli Town, Longsheng County, invited Judge Man Min of the People's Court of Huangli to mediate an infringement issue at the scene, and the cadres and police of the township judicial office and specially invited mediators participated in the mediation. After more than 2 hours of on-site investigation, the judge summarized the focus of the dispute between the two parties and explained the relevant laws and regulations, so that the dispute could be resolved before litigation and greatly reduced the litigation burden of the parties. At the same time, under the judge's explanation of the law, the villagers' awareness of the rule of law has also been further enhanced.
Judges of the People's Court of the Scoop carry out circuit trials.
In their daily work, "crossing mountains and mountains" and "wading into underwater fields" style visits are "commonplace" for court officers and policemen. In accordance with the work requirements of the "Fengqiao-style People's Court in the New Era", the Scoop Court gives full play to the function of pre-litigation mediation, insists on putting the non-litigation dispute resolution mechanism in the front, and unites rural cadres to mediate conflicts and disputes in the fields through sinking visits and door-to-door coordination and resolution, giving full play to the multiple dispute resolution advantages of "judges + specially invited mediators + village elders", constantly integrating and strengthening mediation forces, promoting the proper resolution of contradictions and disputes, and resolving them in accordance with the law, so as to realize "small matters do not leave the village, and contradictions do not become lawsuits". Provide effective judicial services for the modernization of rural governance.
The circuit court conveys the judicial temperature
Longsheng is known as "nine mountains and half water and half fields", and the four townships of Huangli, Lejiang, Pingping, and Sanmen under the jurisdiction of the Huangli Court have high mountains and long roads, especially the elderly groups who live in the high mountains all year round are particularly difficult to travel. To this end, the Scoop Court opened the circuit court to the door of the people's homes, settled the disputes for the masses, and analyzed them.
President, Shi's application for a determination of incapacity for civil conduct, I set it at 11 o'clock**, but the applicant just called**, saying that because of advanced age and severe motion sickness, he could not participate in the trial on time. Clerk Xiao Liao said. "You immediately inform the applicant that he will not go to court, and we will carry out a circuit trial in this case, and we can also use the case to explain the law and publicize the law to the masses. The President replied immediately.
Focusing on the goals and tasks of shifting the focus of trial enforcement work downward, resolving disputes on the spot, and facilitating mass litigation, the court has set up roving case-handling points, judges' studios, and remote counters for litigation services in towns and towns under jurisdiction that have not set up courts, and has used the method of roving trials to change "sitting in the court to handle cases" to "approaching the masses", opening court trials to the alleys and alleys of villages, and explaining the legal issues that the masses are concerned about, such as private lending, marriage and family, land contracting, labor and employment, etc., in combination with actual cases, "one-to-one" Accurately answer questions and solve doubts, convey judicial temperature face-to-face, and constantly cultivate a "big culture of rule of law" with "grassroots small courts".
Do everything possible to realize the rights and interests of winning the lawsuit
The deadline for the performance of the mediation agreement is coming soon, and other villagers also asked me if I got the rent, and I was about to go to the court to ask, but I didn't expect you to send the money over, thank you! Liang, a villager of Silong Village, Huangli Town, expressed his gratitude to the judge.
In March 2023, a brick factory owed a total of more than 20 yuan in land lease money to 19 villagers in Silong Village, of which 3 households including Liang sued to the court. After mediation, the two parties reached an agreement that a brick factory would pay off the rent owed within 3 months, and if it failed to pay within the agreed period, the contract would be terminated. Seeing that half of the agreed time had passed, a brick factory had not paid a penny. If the payment is not made on time, the remaining 16 villagers who are still waiting and watching will definitely sue and are likely to demand the termination of the contract, which is not conducive to the production and operation of the brick factory.
Through the investigation of the presiding judge, it was found that the brick factory was very profitable, but due to conflicts between shareholders, the financial management was not standardized. Based on the principle of resolving conflicts and disputes at the source and effectively reducing the litigation burden of the parties, the judge actively communicated with the legal representative and shareholders of the brick factory, informed them of the possible consequences of failing to perform their obligations on time, and encouraged them to perform automatically from the perspective of saving time and energy, litigation fees and enforcement fees. After the judge's explanation of the law and patient persuasion, several shareholders of the brick factory reached a unanimous opinion, agreeing to pay the obligations set out in the mediation agreement out of their own pockets according to the proportion of shares, and pay off the rent owed to other villagers. All 19 villagers received the rent that had been owed for three years, and the two parties shook hands and made peace.
In addition, the court has also set up a noon court, an evening court, and a "cloud court" to provide convenient and efficient judicial services for the masses. Since the launch of the practice of "I do practical things for the masses", the Huangli Court has tried 73 cases through the "noon court" and "evening court", tried 42 cases through circuit trials, resolved 87 contradictions and disputes before litigation, filed 55 cases online and door-to-door, and organized and carried out 13 legal popularization activities, which were well received by the masses.
