BEIJING: Legal organizations will work together to protect enterprises’ legal rights and reduce the impact of legal procedures that may affect their operations during the novel coronavirus prevention and control period, according to a directive published.
The directive, which aims to provide guarantees for the resumption of work and production, was released by the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Supreme People’s Court, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Justice.
For enterprises that are unable to resume production due to judicial investigations, legal organizations will choose measures with the least impact on production, Chen Guoqing, deputy chief procurator, said during a news conference on Wednesday.
“We will also re-evaluate the circumstances of business operators who are in custody for police investigation, prosecution or trials.
If further detention is unnecessary, they can be released on bail so they can resume their businesses,” Chen said.
