Commentary on Supreme Court's Guiding Opinions on Similar Cases

2020-07-28

On July 27, 2020, the Supreme People's Court published the Guiding Opinions on Unifying the Application of Law and Strengthening the Research of Similar Cases (for Trial Implementation) ("Guiding Opinions"). The Guiding Opinions signal a significant move made at the national level to ensure the consistency of judicial practice in China. Notably, the Guiding Opinions provide a clear definition, scope, and hierarchy for similar cases, which serve as essential guidance for China's judiciary. Among the similar cases the Guiding Opinions define, de facto binding effect is given only to guiding cases published by the Supreme People's Court, while other similar cases serve only as references for adjudication (Article 9). Aside from this, the Guiding Opinions also specify when and how the research of similar cases should be conducted (Articles 2-3, and 5-11), and request lower courts to take measures to enhance case research work (Articles 12-13). The Guiding Opinions will become effective on July 31, 2020 (Article 14).
