For appeals against rulings on three types of cases—non-acceptance of the case, dismissal of the lawsuit, and objection to jurisdiction—the appeal period shall be ten days from the date of service of the ruling (Article 171 of the Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China (amended on December 24, 2021, and implemented on January 1, 2022)). The period shall be calculated from the day following the date of service, and the last day of the period shall be extended to the first working day after the statutory holiday; for appeals submitted by mail, the time of mailing shall prevail, not the time of receipt by the court. It is necessary to keep the mailing receipt and the list of the enclosed documents.

Q5: On the day you receive the judgment, what should be the first thing to check?

On that day, first check the date of receipt, write it on the first page of the judgment and take a photo to keep it. The time limit starts from the day after the delivery, and the date of receipt directly determines the deadline of 15 days or 10 days. Counting an extra day may result in the loss of the right to appeal. Then check three items: whether the names of the parties and the case number are incorrect, the amount of payment and the performance period in the main text of the judgment, and the name of the court that made the judgment and the corresponding higher-level court. If any typographical errors are found, you can apply for a ruling to correct them. If you decide to appeal, determine the scope of the appeal and the budget for the fees with your lawyer on the same day to avoid submitting the appeal at the last minute when the deadline is approaching.

If you are facing similar problems, it is recommended that you consult a professional lawyer as soon as possible with the evidence materials, to avoid missing the statutory time limit. →Specialised services Legal services·Beijing Henglu Law Firm
