ABSTRACT:
The judiciary in developing countries is troubled with various problems. Specifically, court delays, backlogs and
uncertainty associated with unexpected outcomes have diminished the quality of justice and leads to loss of
confidence of the general public in judiciary. Court delay is always coupled with impartiality, corruption and
low quality of judgment, etc. The reform program needs to address the major causes of the deterioration in the
quality of court services and address the root political, economic causes of an inefficient and inequitable
judiciary and not simply deal with its symptoms.
Like many other judiciaries in developing countries, court delay is also a problem facing the jurisdiction in
Chinese courts, especially in appeal and retrial procedure. Based on empirical study, this paper will also
illustrate the major causes of court delay as well as difficulties of law enforcement in Chinese jurisdiction. In
particular, some special references are made to the retrial procedure and the roll of the Trial Committee in the
course of jurisdiction, as well as accessibility to the courts.
