| This thesis could be divided into three sections. The first section is a review on the existing legislative and judicial practices on the pre-trial preparing procedure. The second section deals with the functions and the purposes for reforms on the pre-trial preparing procedure whereas the third section elaborates on the relevant systems that are required for establishing or improving the pre-trial preparing procedure. In this thesis, the author briefly reviewed and analyzed the existing legislations and the reforms on the pre-trial preparing procedure and further pointed out that the pre-trial preparing procedure has the functions of demonstrating facts, clarifying disputes, collecting evidences, stabilizing evidences, planning court sessions and screening cases. It is then explained by the author that the ultimate purpose of the reforms on the pre-trial preparing procedure is to improve the participation by the litigant in the court proceedings and in the meantime to achieve concentrated trials by the court. Based on the actual situations in China, the author also put forward in her thesis some preliminary proposals on how to establish the pre-trail preparing procedures in the country. According to the author, the pre-trial preparing procedures could be established by setting up or improving the claim-response system, the evidence collecting system, the evidence exchange system, the pre-trial session system, the rights notification system and the pre-trial disposal system. To add to her theory above, the author also gave out some proposals on the organization structure that are needed for the pre-trial preparing procedure at the end of the thesis. |
