Article 104 Civil Procedure Law
Meaning
Legal preservation measures in Chinese courts require the applicant to provide a surety or financial guarantee to prevent abuse of the judicial process. This provision of article 104 civil procedure law governs the court’s authority to demand security when a party requests the preservation of property or evidence before or during a civil trial. The rule stops applying once the court determines that the requested preservation no longer carries a risk of causing wrongful economic loss to the respondent.
Statutory Threshold
Court practice relies on a strict evaluation of the necessity of the preservation and the adequacy of the provided security. Judges typically require the applicant to submit cash, bank guarantees, or litigation preservation insurance as collateral. If the security is insufficient, the court rejects the application.
Procedural Execution
Procedural steps dictate that the preservation ruling must be executed within five days of the court accepting the application or receiving the security. The court transmits the execution order to the relevant local registry or bank to freeze the assets. This operational timeline minimizes the risk of asset dissipation by the respondent.
Financial Consequence
The applicant bears full liability for any losses incurred by the respondent if the court later rules that the preservation request was wrongful. Compensation is paid directly from the provided security to make the respondent whole. This liability forces claimants to assess their legal claims carefully before initiating preservation procedures.
