On 25 April 2011 China's Supreme People's Court (SPC) published a draft judicial interpretation that explains how civil cases relating to alleged violations of the country's Anti-Monopoly Law (AML) may be handled going forward. The draft is entitled Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in Hearing Monopoly Civil Cases.
