Excerpt According to the provisions of Article 8 of the "Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning Enforcement," cases where the defendant is a people's government at or above the county level and it is not suitable for a basic people's court to hear the case are within the jurisdiction of a middle-level people's court. ③ Choice of Jurisdiction. According to Article 17 of the "Administrative Litigation Law," if the reviewing agency changes the original specific administrative act in an administrative case involving demolition and relocation after review, the case may be heard by the basic people's court where the original administrative act was made or where the reviewing agency is located. (9) Conditions and Procedures for Case Filing ① Conditions for Case Filing According to the provisions of the "Administrative Litigation Law" and relevant interpretations on the conditions for filing a lawsuit, an administrative lawsuit filed against demolition administrative acts (or review decisions) or inactions must meet the following conditions: a. The plaintiff is a citizen, legal person, or other organization that believes the demolition administrative act (or review decision) or inaction infringes on its legitimate rights and interests. b. There is a clear defendant, i.e., the administrative organ that made the demolition administrative act (or the plaintiff believes it failed to fulfill its statutory duties) or the reviewing agency that changed the original administrative act. c. There are specific claims and factual grounds. This includes requesting the people's court to rescind the demolition administrative act (or review decision), confirm its illegality or invalidity, order the court to modify the demolition administrative penalty, or require the defendant to fulfill its statutory duties, while also being able to bring an additional claim for administrative compensation. Support the claims with facts and provide corresponding evidence. d. The case falls within the scope of administrative litigation accepted by the people's court and within the jurisdiction of the court hearing the case. e. The lawsuit is filed within the statutory period for filing. ② Procedures for Case Filing According to the relevant provisions of the "Administrative Litigation Law" and interpretations, the people's court shall form a collegiate panel to examine the plaintiff's complaint. If the conditions for filing are met, the case shall be accepted within 7 days; if not, a non-acceptance ruling shall be issued within 7 days. If the content of the complaint is incomplete, the plaintiff shall be ordered to correct it. From the date of receiving the corrected materials, if the conditions for filing are met, the case shall be accepted within 7 days; if still not met, a non-acceptance ruling shall be issued within 7 days. If parties are dissatisfied with the non-acceptance ruling, they may file an appeal with the higher people's court through the first-instance people's court within 10 days of receiving the non-acceptance ruling, or directly with the higher people's court. (10) Procedural Procedures for Trial According to the provisions of the "Administrative Litigation Law" and interpretations on procedural procedures for trial, the people's court shall form a collegiate panel to examine the legality and rationality of the demolition administrative act and the legality and rationality of the demolition administrative penalty when hearing administrative cases involving demolition. At the same time, except where it involves state secrets, personal privacy, or is otherwise stipulated by law, demolition administrative cases shall be heard openly. The people's court shall not apply mediation in administrative cases. Administrative compensation litigation cases may apply mediation. The people's court shall render a first-instance judgment within 3 months from the date of case filing. If there are special circumstances requiring extension, approval shall be obtained from the higher people's court. The higher people's court shall hear cases.
