Handbuch des chinesischen Zivilprozessrechts

The present work is the first German-language publication to comprehensively detail the law of civil procedure in the People's Republic of China.

The book's authors are scholars and practitioners who stand as recognized experts in the field of Chinese law. The work offers an in-depth analysis of the civil judgment process, ranging from procedural requirements, court adjudication, the issuance and enforcement of judgments, and special characteristics of proceedings involving a foreign element. In addition, the book is annexed with the Civil Procedure Law of 2017, the 2015 Judicial Interpretations of the Supreme People's Court on the Civil Procedure Law, and other important judicial interpretations, in each case reproduced in the original Chinese alongside a German translation. Also included is an introductory chapter discussing the evolution of Chinese civil procedure law, principles of procedural law, and the judiciary in China, with an emphasis placed on empirical findings as related to judicial civil practice.
