BEIJING: Around 202,000 cases did not proceed to administrative litigation following administrative reconsideration in the first half of this year, effectively resolving disputes between administrative departments and citizens and entities, the Ministry of Justice announced on Friday.
The cases’ resolution rate reached 89.4 percent, marking an increase of 12.6 percentage points compared to the same period in 2023, it said.
From January to June, judicial administrative authorities at various levels received totally 292,000 administrative reconsideration cases, a 150 percent year-on-year increase, and concluded 225,000 cases, the ministry said.
Kong Xiangquan, an official from the ministry’s Administrative Law Enforcement Coordination and Supervision Bureau, said that administrative reconsideration serves both as a government self-correction mechanism and a remedy for resolving administrative disputes.
It plays a crucial role in protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the public and businesses.
The ongoing Administrative Reconsideration Law, which was revised in September 2023 and took effect in January, has expanded the scope of administrative disputes brought under this framework for resolution, he said. –The Daily Mail-China Daily news exchange item
