China wants to clear up a backlog of court cases during an eight-month campaign which started in Beijing Wednesday.
Wang Shengjun, President of China's Supreme People's Court, said the campaign was expected to bring an end to a number of long-running property cases.
The specific number of backlogged cases was not released.
"Some sentences that have not been carried out remain major concerns of petitioners and the public," Wang said. "Those cases usually draw criticisms and we have to take actions."
Wang listed six case categories which are priorities of the new judicial campaign. They include cases delayed because of local government interference or other illegal pressures, the defendant being government units or state-owned enterprises, cases involving migrant worker payment and cases petitioned for several times.
In order to facilitate the implementation of the new campaign, a leading group of staff from several ministries and government bodies has been placed in charge. It is required to submit monthly reports during its investigation.
