Thoughts on the Pathway of Implementing a Hearing System in the Governance of Unreasonable Litigation-Related Petitions——Anempirical analysis based on the petition case handling in L City Court of H Province
Unreasonable litigation-related petitions are currently a major challenge troubling courts at all levels.They are characterized by a preference for petitioning to higher authorities,a high proportion of online channels,widespread repeat visits,and difficulty in concluding the petition process.In prac-tice,they primarily manifest in three typical forms:profit-driven,obsessive,and composite.Unreasonable litigation-related petitions seriously undermine judicial credibility,waste social resources,and disrupt the integrity system,and must therefore be addressed within the framework of the rule of law.The application of a hearing system in the governance of litigation-related petitions holds special legal significance,as it helps to ensure rational expression by the parties involved,promote information disclosure,form a consensus of understanding,thereby achieving procedural justice.Currently,there are issues such as unclear standards for the application of the hearing system,irregular application procedures,and incomplete supporting measures.It is necessary to clarify the criteria for initiating hearings,optimize key aspects of the hearing process,deepen the use of hearing outcomes,and strengthen the support-ing measures such as penalties for unreasonable petitions.This will improve the effectiveness and legal framework for handling unreasonable litigation-re-lated petitions and promote the modernization of petition governance.
