Preface to the third edition. Chen Xingliang (Boya Chair Professor, Peking University).

The first edition of the book "General Gist of the Criminal Guiding Cases Adjudication of the People's Courts" was published in 2013, the second edition in 2018, and the third edition in 2024. It is gratifying to note that following the development and maturity of China's Case Guidance System, this book has been updated and republished at a rate of about once every five years, and has become an influential brand of codification publications for criminal guiding cases.

In 2010, the Supreme People's Court promulgated the Provisions on Work on Case Guidance (hereinafter referred to as the "Provisions"), formally establishing the Case Guidance System with Chinese characteristics. Subsequently, in 2015, the Supreme People's Court promulgated the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Provisions on Work on Case Guidance (hereinafter referred to as the "Detailed Implementation Rules"), further standardizing and improving the system for work on Case Guidance. Of particular note is the Guiding Opinions of the Supreme People's Court on Unifying the Application of Law and Strengthening the Search for Similar Cases (Trial) (hereinafter referred to as the "Guiding Opinions"), which came into effect on July 31, 2020. If we say that the "Provisions" and the "Detailed Implementation Rules" are the normative basis for the case guidance system of the people's courts in China; Then, the search system for similar cases established by the Guiding Opinions indicates that the Case Guidance System of the People's Courts of China has entered a stage of full implementation, which has laid the foundation for the integration of the Case Guidance System into the judicial system of China. As Chinese scholars have pointed out, on the premise of adhering to the framework of China's current legal system, the Guiding Opinions position China's search system for similar cases as a specific system under the statutory law system with Chinese characteristics, emphasizing that the people's courts should give full play to the reference role of Guiding Cases and other similar cases on the basis of adjudicating cases in accordance with the law, promote the realization of judicial justice such as the uniform application of law, and continuously enhance the stability and predictability of the law. The search system for similar cases is a way for guiding cases to be applied to judicial adjudication and law-finding activities, and it requires judges to not only find the law when handling criminal cases or other cases, that is, to find the legal rules applicable to pending cases from normative documents, but also to conduct a search for similar cases, and further clarify the normative basis for case handling through guiding cases. In particular, when legal norms are abstract and comprehensive, it is more necessary to refer to the gist of the adjudication of the Guiding Case. When conducting a search for similar cases, the concept of similar cases should first be clarified. Similar cases here, as the name suggests, refer to similar cases. There are some controversies in the academic circles in China on the understanding of similar cases, and there are mainly the following three views: The first view is that similar cases refer to cases that have similar factors to pending cases, including similar facts, similar legal relationships, similar points of dispute, and similar legal issues in dispute. The second view is that the similarity of cases refers to comparing the factual characteristics stated in the precedent with the litigation issues of the pending case and judging the sameness or similarity, rather than generally determining the similarity of the facts of the whole case. The third view is that the essence of "same case" in different judgments in the same case is to use the legal characteristics of the facts of the case as a clue to determine whether the facts of the case are of the same legal nature as a whole. In the above-mentioned disputes, the core issue is the distinction between similar cases and similar cases. As mentioned earlier, a similar case refers to a similar case. So, does the same kind of case here refer to one type of case or is it divided into two types of cases, i.e., the same kind of case or similar case? In my opinion, similar cases should refer to the same type of cases, i.e., similar cases. As for the "same case" in the same case and different judgments, I think it refers to similar cases. Because there is no such thing as an identical case, a similar case is one that is essentially the same, that is, similar. Therefore, there is no need to dwell on the conceptual dispute between similar cases and the same case, but we should go deep into the comparison of the contents of the pending cases and the guiding cases to examine whether there is a similar relationship between the two. What needs to be taken seriously here is the scope of similarity, and in the formulation of the various points of view mentioned above, the similarities are specifically stated, including both factual similarity and legal similarity. However, in my opinion, the so-called similarity can only refer to the similarity of the facts of the case, and does not include the similarity of laws, such as similarity in legal relationships and similarity in legal disputes. It should be pointed out that Article 1 of the Guiding Opinions clearly stipulates the concept of similar cases, "similar cases refer to cases that are similar to pending cases in terms of basic facts, focus of disputes, application of law, etc., and have already been adjudicated and effective by the people's courts". Here, the similarities of similar cases can be summarized into three aspects: the facts of the case, the focus of the dispute, and the application of law. Logically, however, it is debatable whether the focus of the dispute and the application of law can be used as similarities. The distinction between factual and legal issues is involved here: facts are the premise for the application of law, and the law applicable to different facts should also be different. Therefore, similar cases can only be judged from whether the facts of the cases are similar. As long as the facts of the cases are similar, the focus of the dispute and the application of law must be referred to.

It should be pointed out that not all cases can become similar cases, and only authoritative cases can become similar cases that can be referred to. Article 4, Paragraph 1 of the Guiding Opinions specifically stipulates the scope of similar cases: "The scope of search for similar cases generally includes: (1) Guiding Cases issued by the Supreme People's Court; (2) Typical cases released by the Supreme People's Court and cases in which judgments have taken effect; (3) Reference cases and cases in which judgments have taken effect published by the high people's courts of that province (autonomous region, directly governed municipality); (4) Cases in which the judgment of the people's court at the level above or that court has taken effect. "Among the above four types of cases, the Guiding Cases issued by the Supreme People's Court are, of course, the most authoritative, and therefore the main cases of the same kind**, which play a very important guiding role in the adjudication work of courts across the country. In a sense, the Guiding Cases released by the Supreme People's Court are in the nature of precedents. In fact, not only Guiding Cases, but also all cases in which the Supreme People's Court's judgments and judgments take effect have a guiding role in the adjudication work of the people's courts at all levels, and are therefore in the nature of similar cases. In addition to Guiding Cases, the Supreme People's Court also publishes Typical Cases, which often release several cases on a certain topic, which are relevant to a certain type of case and therefore of practical significance. In addition to cases issued by the Supreme People's Court and cases in which judgments and judgments take effect, according to the Guiding Opinions, cases in which the judgments of the High People's Court, the people's court at the next higher level, and this court take effect may also become similar cases. It can be seen from this that the scope of similar cases in China's judicial practice is relatively extensive. It should be noted here that, although there are many types of similar cases, not all of them have the same effect. First of all, the impact of similar cases at different levels is different in terms of pending cases. For example, the Guiding Cases of the Supreme People's Court are of reference value. The referential effect here is only lower than that of the commendability. Other similar cases are referential, and the effect of referential is significantly lower than that of referential here. Second, the effectiveness of judgments of different levels of people's courts shall correspond to the level of the people's courts. In other words, the higher the level of the people's court's judgment, the higher the level of validity of the case, and vice versa. For example, the reference value of cases in which a judgment of a high people's court takes effect is higher than that of a case in which a judgment of an intermediate people's court takes effect; The reference value of cases in which the judgments of intermediate people's courts take effect is higher than that of cases in which the judgments of basic people's courts take effect, and so on, all of which make the effectiveness of various types of cases form an orderly hierarchy, thereby eliminating the conflict between the effects of these similar cases. Chinese scholars have adopted the principle of referring to Guiding Cases issued by the Supreme People's Court as cases with explicit binding force; Cases published in the Gazette of the Supreme People's Court, other typical cases, and cases in which judgments take effect, as well as reference cases and cases in which judgments take effect issued by the High People's Court of this province (autonomous region, municipality directly under the Central Government), are referred to as cases or cases with strong implicit binding force; It is appropriate to refer to cases in which the judgment of the people's court at the next higher level and the judgment of this court takes effect as a case with weak hidden binding force. It should be pointed out that judges often have certain preconceived notions when adjudicating cases, and are easily influenced by their own adjudication precedents. Therefore, after searching for similar cases, if you find that the results of the case in which your judgment has taken effect are different from those of the Supreme People's Court, the High People's Court, or the Intermediate People's Court, you should follow the binding similar cases and change the results of your habitual case handling. The establishment of a search system for similar cases has greatly stimulated the demand for similar cases in the people's courts at all levels. Judging from the current situation, the Supreme People's Court's Guiding Cases and Typical Cases have been publicly released, so that judicial organs at all levels can quickly understand them, and thus they are relatively easy to retrieve. Although other cases in which judgments have taken effect have also been published through various channels, such as the China Judgments Network, it is slightly more difficult to retrieve. Under such circumstances, the Supreme People's Court has also disclosed some cases with important reference value through publications such as the Gazette of the Supreme People's Court, the Criminal Trial Reference, and the Selected Cases of the People's Court, and has processed these cases to extract the focus of the dispute and the reasons for the adjudication, which has brought convenience to judges in retrieving similar cases and applying them for reference, which is worthy of recognition. At the same time, various publications on the compilation of cases have also been published, and the above-mentioned cases have been reprocessed and compiled into a book to provide information for judges to search for cases. With the implementation of the search system for similar cases, it is conceivable that the demand for case compilation works by the judiciary will also increase. Therefore, it is timely to supplement and revise the "General Compilation of the Essentials of the People's Court's Criminal Guiding Case Adjudication" in a timely manner.

The General Essentials of the Criminal Guiding Cases Adjudication of the People's Courts is based on the amendments to the Criminal Law and relevant judicial interpretations, and in accordance with the style and methods of the second edition, supplementing and adding appropriate cases, and writing the gist and explanation of the adjudication. With the promulgation of judicial interpretations, the gist of the adjudication of relevant cases has also been revised. The deadline for this book is the end of June 2023. It should be noted that the supplementary writing of the third edition of this book was completed by Associate Professor Xu Lingbo of Nanjing University Law School alone, with a total of more than 980,000 words. We would like to thank her for her hard work in making it possible for the timely publication of the third edition of this book. Acquaintance in Kunming Binjiang Junyuan Residence.

General Compilation of the Gist of the People's Court's Criminal Guiding Case Adjudication (Volume II, Third Edition).

Chen Xingliang, Zhang Jun, Hu Yunteng, editors-in-chief.

The offences in the chapters of this book are arranged in the order of the provisions of the Criminal Code. The included cases are composed of two parts: the basic facts of the case and the gist of the adjudication, and the gist of the adjudication is discussed in combination with the facts of the case, which is clearer and easier to understand.

The third edition of this book supplements and updates the cases, and is an indispensable "reference work" for criminal law researchers and criminal law practitioners.

China has established the Case Guidance System, and according to relevant provisions, courts across the country "shall refer to" Guiding Cases when hearing cases similar to Guiding Cases. The manuscript of this book is the collation and refinement of similar cases, and it is extremely practical.

The General Gist of the People's Court's Criminal Guiding Case Adjudication is a book that extracts the gist of the adjudication that is of guiding significance for criminal trials on the basis of the selection of existing criminal guiding cases. Therefore, it is different from previous compilation works of Guiding Cases, and highlights the gist of the adjudication extracted from the Guiding Cases. It can be said that the gist of the adjudication is its key word.

When refining the gist of the adjudication, this book pays attention to the corresponding facts of the case and the reasons for the adjudication, and at the same time has a certain degree of abstraction, so as to "originate from the case and be higher than the case". In the same case, if there are several rules, they are marked separately.

On the basis of the processing and refinement of the relevant business chambers of the Supreme People's Court, this book has been further processed, and the main work of this book is to select and rewrite the cases, extract the gist of the adjudication from them, and make necessary arguments and elaborations on the gist of the adjudication in combination with the cases.

The third edition complements new case studies from the previous edition of the book to the present. The Supreme People's Court issued the Guiding Opinions on Unifying the Application of Law and Strengthening the Search for Similar Cases (for Trial Implementation), which came into effect on July 31, 2020. The Opinions require that in the course of trial of cases, judges need to conduct a search for similar cases in four types of situations, such as cases that lack clear adjudication rules or have not yet formed uniform adjudication rules, and standardize judges' discretion and promote the uniform application of law by referring to similar cases that have been in effect in the past. And this book is the collation and refinement of similar cases.
