The creation of cyber-courts:
It is exactly a year since China decided to officially invest in
the digitalisation of its legal system, by creating cyber-courts in
key cities in mainland China.
The first cyber-court opened its doors in the city of Hangzhou
in August 2017 and the choice of this city to test an
«Internet» court was not accidental.
In fact, Hangzhou is the headquarters of several Chinese
companies with activities connected to the Internet, among them the
famous Alibaba. The company Alibaba alone annually receives about 4
million complaints from customers, the majority of which are left
unanswered by the ordinary courts.
This first cyber-court has been equipped with cutting edge
technology that allows litigants to process an action entirely on
line.
