Improvement of Chinese legal system of foreign-related document service

Abstract

The difficulty of foreign-related judicial document service is one of the hot issues in the discussion of Chinese international judicial theory and practice. In 2006, the Supreme Court released the Several Provisions on the Service of Judicial Documents of Foreign-related Civil or Commercial Cases, which can mitigate the existing problem to some extent. However, it is only a makeshift to rely on judicial interpretation to solve foreign-related judicial document service but can not settle the problem fundamentally. We should make full use of the legislative interpretation and modify the related provisions in the current Civil Procedure Law for improving China’s legal system of foreign-related document service.
