With the development of socialist market economy of out country, the improvement of judicial ideology of the people, the increase of civil cases accepted and heard by every court year by year. The civil judicial system constructed by the Civil Procedural Law formulated in 1982, amended in 1991, has not been in accordance with civil trial by justice and efficiency at present. After the five-year revolutional outline of the people's court is completed, the books and articles on judicial system have come into being gradually. Lightening the burden of the parties and the court, simplifying the judicial procedure, accelerating the judicial rhythm have become the focal point of research in judicial world and theorelial (theoretical) world.
