Circuit Tribunals of the Supreme People's Court
The circuit tribunals of the Supreme People's Court mainly hear major administrative, civil and commercial lawsuits that involve more than one administrative area. Their verdicts, rulings, and decisions are deemed as those by the Supreme People's Court, as they all represent the Supreme People's Court.
The Supreme People's Court opened its first circuit tribunal in Shenzhen of Guangdong Province in January 2015, to accept and hear the civil and commercial cases, administrative litigation, and criminal appeals in the four provincial-level administrative areas of Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan that need to be heard by the Supreme People's Court, as well as the civil and commercial cases and judicial assistance cases that involve the residents in the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions. It is also responsible for settling the complaints lodged to the Supreme People's Court by the residents in Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan.
By July 2022, the Supreme People's Court had set up six circuit tribunals.
