Features: The administrative litigation system is one of the three major litigation series in China. Its establishment and development are of great significance for improving China's constitutional system, strengthening judicial functions to supervise and guarantee administrative functions, and effectively protecting the legitimate rights and interests of natural persons, legal persons, and their organizations from unlawful and improper administrative activities. In the more than 10 years since the implementation of the "Administrative Litigation Law of the People's Republic of China," with the accumulation of practical experience in administrative litigation and the overall improvement of the rule of law in society, the rough and outdated characteristics of laws originally considered successful have become evident in many aspects, such as the imprecision of legal language and basic concepts, the narrow scope of cases, and the ambiguity of evidence rules. Some areas that were originally blank also urgently need new legal provisions, such as trial rules, types of judgments, and applicable conditions. For this reason, the Supreme People's Court has issued two sets of interpretations on the implementation of the Administrative Litigation Law successively.
