A judicial interpretation to identify and apply relevant foreign laws is expected to be released soon to help Chinese judges efficiently resolve disputes involving foreign parties, China's top court said.
According to the Supreme People's Court, as cooperation between China and the Belt and Road Initiative participants grows, so do cross-border business interactions and the corresponding commercial disputes.
Thanks to the in-depth research, the judicial interpretation has been approved by the judicial committee of the Supreme People's Court and is ready to be issued, a chief judge from China's top court said.
Last week, 12 cases related to the BRI and handled by Chinese courts were disclosed by the top court. With these, the top court has disclosed a total of 40 influential cases concerning the BRI since the initiative was proposed in 2013.
The disclosures aim to show the country's judicial determination and contribution to serving high-quality development and advancing the coordinated approach to promote the rule of law at home and in matters involving foreign affairs.
