Abstract:
The Judicial Reform Strategy under Resolution No. 49 dated June 2, 2005 of the Party Central Committee has identified: “…reform of administrative procedures in judicial agencies to create favorable conditions for people to access justice…”. Moreover, in Plan No. 122/BCS dated December 26, 2005, the Supreme People’s Court Party Committee also identified: “reform of court administrative procedures is undertaken under the way that is open/public, simple and convenient for citizens to exercise their rights to take legal action at courts. When a person takes a legal action at court, this court shall determine the agency which has jurisdiction of settling the case, then transfer the files and notify the petitioners thereof; moreover, courts should publish the procedures for accessing the files, supplying documents and information, extracting the judgements or decisions of courts according to applicable laws”.
In the context where the courts are implementing strong institutional reforms to improve judicial capacity and judicial integrity, with the support of the United Nations Development Program in Vietnam (UNDP) and the Supreme People’s Court, the Research Team, leaded by Mr. Nguyen Hung Quang – Managing Partner of NHQuang&Associates, has conducted the Report “Good practices in court procedures to improve court integrity”.
