Futian District Court livestreams trials
    2018-10-25  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

OVER 20 hearings were broadcast live online by Futian District Court on Tuesday, attracting nearly 10,000 netizens to watch, according to the Southern Metropolis Daily.

The trials at the Futian court, concerning cases of financial disputes, debt, credit card fraud and other criminal matters, were live broadcast on tingshen.court.gov.cn, a national portal for online trials.

In less than 30 minutes, the judge made a ruling on a case concerning debts with both the plaintiff and the defendant “attending” the hearing by video call rather than being physically present at the court.

The court has adopted three online platforms to assist it in dealing with cases in the most efficient way, especially those concerning financial disputes. One of the smart systems can help judiciary staffers file cases, transform documents, organize online trials, write verdicts and execute verdict decisions, as well as other functions.

Since the smart system was put online in June last year, it had helped file 28,676 cases and completed 26,640 by the end of September, shortening the average period it takes to deal with one case from four months to only two, according to the report.

The court also uses a smart system that helps transcribe the audio recordings instantaneously during trials.

As of Tuesday, the Futian court had already livestreamed 1,909 trials on the website, attracting a total 514,220 views this year alone. The court’s goal for 2018 is to livestream 2,200 trials.

Recently, when dealing with an economic dispute involving virtual currencies, the Futian court reminded the public to be cautious about investing in virtual currencies because the existing Chinese laws do not protect investments or trades in virtual currencies.

The plaintiff in the case, identified as Zhao, accused the defendant, surnamed Zheng, of swindling him out of 1.08 million yuan (US$155,707) by introducing him to invest in DKcoin, a type of virtual currency.

Zhao pleaded to the court that Zheng told him that all of his investment had disappeared after giving him the sum of his earnings valued at 44,046 yuan. Zhao wanted to terminate his investment contract with Zheng and get his money back.

However, the court had to reject Zhao’s plea because the investment was made with a virtual currency, meaning it is not subject to legal protection. Making financial investments with virtual currencies is in fact a crime under current laws, according to the court.
