BEIJING: Chinese courts have intensified efforts to compensate and give judicial assistance to those who were hurt by miscarriages of justice over the past few years, China’s top court said.
“Offering aid or compensation to people who were wronged by government departments, including those wrongly convicted due to judicial misconduct, is an effective way to balance public power and private rights,” said Liu Zhumei, director of the Supreme People’s Court’s compensation office.
State compensation can be applied not only for judicial mistakes but also administrative misconduct, she explained. Since the beginning of this year, courts at each level have heard 6,449 cases on state compensation regarding judicial mistakes – an increase from an average of about 5,000 cases in past years, Liu said, adding the growth should attribute to people’s increasing legal awareness.In a high-profile case in September 2018, for example, the Jiangxi High People’s Court compensated villager Li Jinlian 2.93 million yuan for wrongly convicting him of murder.
