The amendment of civil procedure mainly includes seven aspects: perfecting the mediation and litigation mechanism linking; further safeguard the litigation rights of the parties; perfect the system of burden of proof; to perfect the summary procedure; strengthen the legal supervision; perfecting the procedure for trial supervision; improve the implementation of the program.

 A small claims litigation system execute a court

The new revised civil procedure law provides for the establishment of small claims litigation system for the first time.

Many civil cases is a simple civil case facts are clear, less controversial. The provisions of the civil procedure law trying simple civil cases in which summary procedure. To perfect the summary procedure, to improve the trial efficiency, reduce litigation costs, reasonable use of judicial resources, has the vital significance.
