Judicial system shows progress, but needs further reform
As such, the court must take
immediate action to accelerate its reform process and increase staff
capacity, the President said at the Court’s conference in Hanoi on
January 19.
He noted that in 2014, although the
number of cancelled and amended verdicts decreased, the rate is still
too high at 1.61 percent, due primarily to the court’s mistakes.
However, the President commended the sector for the impressive
workload handled last year, with 92.8 percent of total cases addressed.
Major cases, especially those related to corruption, were addressed
swiftly and strictly, receiving strong public approval.
The sector was also active in ensuring the consistent enforcement of laws during judgment.
For 2015, the State leader has asked the courts to continue
implementing the 2013 Constitution, the revised Law on People’s Court,
and National Assembly’s resolutions on judicial work and judicial
reform.
According to a report delivered at the
conference, the judicial system addressed over 385,000 out of the
415,000 cases it received last year.-VNA
