Features: In China's civil litigation theory, the Civil Procedure Law is divided into narrow and broad definitions. Narrowly defined, the Civil Procedure Law refers only to the Civil Procedure Code. Broadly defined, the Civil Procedure Law encompasses all legal norms related to civil litigation procedures, including the Civil Procedure Code, special civil procedure laws such as the Special Procedure Law for Maritime Litigation, as well as provisions on civil litigation procedures found in other laws, regulations, judicial interpretations, and other normative documents. As China's Civil Procedure Code, the Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China provides relatively concentrated and systematic regulations on civil litigation procedures. However, a single code cannot fully encompass the essence of civil litigation law. Moreover, as a procedural law, it must be supported by substantive law and, together with other civil procedural laws, constitute China's civil procedural legal system for preventing and resolving civil rights disputes.
Named "One-Stop Guide," the book aims to help readers gain a more comprehensive and systematic understanding of the Civil Procedure Law. The provisions of different laws, laws within the same department, and laws within China's legal system are not isolated but interconnected. In legal practice, a large number of civil procedural legal rules are scattered in other laws, administrative regulations, judicial interpretations, rules, and normative documents outside the Civil Procedure Code. Books like this can significantly reduce unnecessary complications for lawyers, judges, and parties.
At the same time, as a teaching aid for legal studies, this book plays an active role in helping students gain a vivid and comprehensive understanding of China's civil legislation during the teaching process. The book arranges the provisions of the principal law in order, interspersing relevant laws, administrative regulations, judicial interpretations, and important departmental rules. Of course, it does not simply "bundle" various laws together but instead summarizes, organizes, and explains all related provisions, with the aim of better solving practical issues based on legal regulations.
