Chinese authorities recently established an internet court to handle a rising number of e-commerce lawsuits, online payment disputes and internet copyright issues. Online shopping lawsuits have recently surged, correlating with China’s rapid e-commerce growth. Most complaints deal with product quality and retailers’ return policies on China’s online marketplaces.<\/p>\n

The new internet court is called Hangzhou Internet Court. It is based in Hangzhou, which is home to many of China’s e-commerce companies, including Alibaba.<\/p>\n

A person can file a complaint in just a few minutes and the entire process, including the trial, takes place online. Shoppers also save money on legal fees and can choose to appear through online video meeting technology.<\/p>\n

According to a spokesperson for the court, “the internet court could improve the efficiency of case handling because both parties of an e-commerce case are often not in the same city.”<\/p>\n

The court says it will also use business intelligence technology in the future to estimate the probability of a plaintiff winning a case before they take legal action.<\/p>\n

China has been testing the online court concept since late 2015 and has processed over 22,000 e-commerce cases online.<\/p>\n
