         Guiding Cases AnalyticsTM is a proprietary serial publication of the China Guiding Cases Project that
aggregates important information on all Guiding Cases released to date and performs quantitative analyses to identify
trends and issues worthy of further study.
In November 2010, the Supreme People’s Court of China (the “SPC”) issued the
Provisions of the Supreme People’s Court Concerning Work on Case Guidance (the “Provisions”)
to establish a groundbreaking system that is aimed at “summariz[ing] adjudication experiences,
unify[ing] the application of law, enhanc[ing] adjudication quality, and safeguard[ing] judicial
impartiality”. 1 Under this system, the SPC determines and uniformly releases Guiding Cases
(“GCs”), “which have guiding effect on adjudication and enforcement work in courts throughout
the country”. 2 In particular, according to Article 7 of the Provisions, courts adjudicating
subsequent cases similar to GCs “should refer to” GCs. 3 Leading judges of the SPC have
explicitly identified GCs as de facto binding precedents. 4

        Each GC is a summary of the original ruling or judgment from which the GC is derived,
supplemented with a crucial section titled “Main Points of the Adjudication”. The legal rule(s)
considered in the case, the facts, the outcomes of legal proceedings, and the reasons for the final
ruling/judgment are summarized in the “Related Legal Rule(s)”, “Basic Facts of the Case”,
“Results of the Adjudication”, and the “Reasons for the Adjudication” sections, respectively.
General principles prepared by the SPC and that it expects all of the courts in China to refer to are
presented as short paragraph(s) in the “Main Points of the Adjudication” section. In addition, the
original rulings or judgments from which GCs are derived must be those that “have already come
into legal effect” and that “are of widespread concern to society”, “[involve] legal provisions [that]
are of relatively general nature”, “are of a typical nature”, “are difficult, complicated, or of new
types”, or are “other cases which have guiding effect”. 5

         To date, the SPC has released 96 GCs, of which 57 are civil GCs. Among these civil GCs,
20 cover intellectual property, unfair competition, and/or anti-monopoly law. This issue of
Guiding Cases AnalyticsTM provides an overview of all of these civil GCs, covering, inter alia,
their types, their sources, and the characteristics pertinent to their application in subsequent similar
cases. The analytics provided here will be updated on a regular basis to deepen the understanding
of civil GCs.

    I.      Number of Civil Guiding Cases

        The first batch of GCs was released in late 2011. Since then, the SPC has issued 18
batches of GCs, bringing the total number of GCs to 96. Like the number of GCs released per
batch, the number of civil GCs released per batch varies. The number of civil GCs released per

II.      Types of Civil Guiding Cases

        Of the 57 civil GCs released to date, 20 involve intellectual property law, unfair
competition law, and/or anti-monopoly law, with the remaining shedding light on various topics of
company law (seven), contract law (eight), and other areas of civil law (see Table 1). Table 2 lists
the legal rules that have been cited in the 57 civil GCs released thus far.

       III.      Sources of Civil Guiding Cases

        The underlying ruling or judgment of a GC can be rendered by any regular court within
China’s four-tier system or by a special court. In China, special courts have jurisdiction to handle
specific types of cases, such as military, railroad transportation, maritime, and intellectual property
cases. Candidate GCs are submitted level by level through the court system until they are
ultimately selected and approved by the Adjudication Committee of the SPC. 6

       Of the 57 civil GCs released to date, 20 are based on rulings/judgments originally rendered
by the SPC itself, 19 by high people’s courts, 12 by intermediate people’s courts, five by basic
people’s courts, and one by a maritime court, which is a special court (GC No. 31) (see Chart 3).

       All but two of the 20 civil GCs whose original rulings/judgments were rendered by the
SPC were released in recent years (i.e., 2014−2017). Three of these GCs were enforcement
reconsideration cases (GC Nos. 34–36). These cases show the SPC’s keen interest in providing
more guidance on this topic, which has not been clearly understood (see Table 3).

   2. Lower-Level Courts in Different Provinces and Provincial-Level Municipalities

       Among those civil GCs whose underlying rulings/judgments that were not originally
rendered by the SPC itself, the SPC has selected relatively more from Shanghai and Jiangsu (nine
civil GCs each) for release as civil GCs. Other cases are predominantly from Zhejiang, Beijing,
and Anhui (three civil GCs each) as well as Tianjin and Shandong (two civil GCs each) (see Chart
4).

IV.      Facts and Reasons in Civil Guiding Cases and Implications for Application

        As mentioned at the beginning of this piece, judges in China have been instructed that they
“should refer to” GCs when adjudicating similar cases. Initially, they were not given any guidance
on how to determine whether a case is similar to a GC. In 2015, the Detailed Implementing Rules
on the “Provisions of the Supreme People’s Court Concerning Work on Case Guidance” was
issued, Article 9 of which provides: 7

          Where a case being adjudicated is, in terms of the basic facts and application of
          law, similar to a Guiding Case released by the Supreme People’s Court, the
          [deciding] people’s court at any level should refer to the “Main Points of the
          Adjudication” of that relevant Guiding Case to render its ruling or judgment.
          (emphasis added)

The phrase “in terms of the basic facts and application of law” suggests that the “Basic Facts of
the Case” and the “Reasons for the Adjudication” sections of each GC should be examined closely
to decide whether a fact of a pending case is distinguishable and whether the legal issues of the
pending case involve the application of law as explained in the reasoning part of the GC.

        It is, therefore, critical to make sure that each GC has detailed “Basic Facts of the Case”
and “Reasons for the Adjudication” sections. Unfortunately, on average, these two sections are
quite short in most GCs. Based on the analysis of all 96 GCs released to date, on average,
approximately 40% of the total number of Chinese characters in the six main sections of each GC
(i.e. “Keywords”, “Main Points of the Adjudication”, “Related Legal Rule(s)”, “Basic Facts of the
Case”, “Results of the Adjudication”, and the “Reasons for the Adjudication” sections) are found
in the “Basic Facts of the Case” and another 40% in the “Reasons for the Adjudication”. 8

        Similar percentages are also seen in civil GCs (see Chart 6). Given that, on average, the
above-mentioned six main sections of a civil GC have about 3,000 Chinese characters (see Chart
5), 40% of this length means only 1,200 Chinese characters. The remaining 20% comprises
“Keywords” (approximately 20 to 30 Chinese characters), “Related Legal Rule(s)” (one or two
titles of relevant legislation), “Main Points of the Adjudication” (typically, one to three
paragraphs), and “Results of the Adjudication” (usually, a couple of paragraphs).

Chart 5: Number of Chinese Characters in Six Main Sections of Each Civil GC

     Chart 6: Relative Length of the “Facts” and “Reasons” Sections of Each Civil GC

       A closer comparison of the 18 batches shows that while the average length of civil GCs
and the relative length of the “Basic Facts” section of issued civil GCs has been going up and
down, the relative length of the “Reasons” sections of issued civil GCs has gradually increased to
approximately 50%. In addition, since Batch No. 8, the “Reasons” section of each civil GC has
been longer than the “Facts” section (see Chart 6). The SPC’s effort to provide more “reasons” is
in line with the objective to “push forward the reasoning reform of adjudication documents” stated
in the Fourth Five-Year Reform Plan of the People’s Court (2014–2018). 9 More reasons provided
in civil GCs will allow courts and lawyers handling subsequent cases similar to these civil GCs to
carefully analyze whether the subsequent cases are truly similar to the civil GCs referenced or
whether they should be distinguished. If implemented well, this will help China to gradually
develop its legal culture of applying cases.
