最近,江苏省扬州市中级人民法院决定,今后该市基层法院除在审理新类型案件中遇到适用法律的共性问题外,一律不得再向上级法院内部请示办案。它是全国第一个明文规定不得再就个案请示办案的法院。这一规定实施后,扬州中院只收到两份关于新类型案件适用法律问题的请示。实际上,最高法院早在2003年11月30日即曾发布通知强调,人民法院审理刑事案件,除了适用法律疑难案件以外,不得向上级人民法院请示。
Recently, the Intermediate People’s Court of Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province has decided that in the future, the city’s grassroots courts will not be allowed to ask for more cases from the higher courts unless they encounter common problems with applicable laws in hearing new types of cases. It is the first court in the country that explicitly stipulates that no case may be called upon for clarification. After the implementation of this provision, the Yangzhou Intermediate People’s Court received only two requests for legal application of new types of cases. In fact, as early as November 30, 2003, the Supreme Court promulgated a circular that emphasized that people’s courts should not ask for explanations from higher people’s courts except criminal cases that are difficult to handle in criminal cases.
