Features: Civil dispute litigation refers to the legal proceedings undertaken to resolve civil disputes such as property and family matters. In China, these are conducted by a people's court in the presence of parties and other participants, following statutory procedures. In civil litigation, the people's court carries out mediation, and if mediation fails, it promptly renders a judgment. The People's Procuratorate has the right to supervise the civil judicial activities of the people's court. Litigating parties have the right to manage their civil and procedural rights within the scope of the law. Parties engaging in civil litigation must pay court fees as prescribed. For those who obstruct civil litigation, the people's court may take coercive measures in accordance with the law. The scope of applicability of civil dispute litigation refers to its effective range, which includes four aspects: the scope of applicability to persons and matters, as well as the temporal and spatial scope. Specifically, it addresses the question of when, where, for whom, and regarding what matters it becomes effective.
