China's Supreme People's Court issued a judicial opinion on Thursday, in which it proposed the use of blockchain data tamper-proof technology to improve judicial credibility.
According to official disclosure, a judicial blockchain platform has been built in recent years, with more than 2.2 billion documents stored on the judicial blockchain. In order to further play the role of blockchain in promoting judicial credibility, serving social governance, preventing and defusing risks, and promoting high-quality development, the Supreme People's Court (SPC) issued opinions on strengthening the judicial application of blockchain.
This judicial opinion includes seven parts and 32 contents. It is proposed that by 2025, a blockchain alliance will be built between courts and all walks of life in society, and basic support capabilities such as data verification, trusted operation, smart contracts and cross-chain collaboration will be greatly enhanced.
According to the guideline, the court will build an Internet judicial blockchain verification platform to support parties and other relevant subjects to verify the authenticity of mediation data, electronic evidence, litigation documents and other judicial data.
The guideline proposes to promote the on-chain storage of judicial data such as court electronic files, electronic files and judicial statistics reports, promote the on-chain storage of data and operations such as execution cases, and promote the unified storage of litigation documents and receipt of service served by the court on judicial blockchain platform to ensure the security of judicial data and compliance with operation.
In order to improve judicial efficiency, the guideline proposes to support typical application scenarios such as application of filing information flow, application of connection between mediation and trial process, and connection and linkage between trial and execution process. It also proposes the establishment of business rules and smart contract procedures such as trial filing and execution automatically triggered by non-performance of mediation agreement.
The guideline also focuses on cross-chain collaborative application between courts and procuratorial, public security, judicial administration, finance, intellectual property and other departments, proposing support for realizing the qualification of lawyers participating in litigation activities, online inquiry and verification of credit reports, and establishing automatic execution investigation and control and credit punishment models.
