Enforcement of court rulings challenged by corruption, red tape: top judge

The enforcement of court orders of civil cases are challenged by corruption, government red tape and low efficiency, despite notable achievements, China's top judge said here Wednesday.

"Some civil case enforcement officers could not discipline themselves to reject dinner invitations or briberies, and handled cases unfairly for nepotism or personal benefits," said Wang Shengjun, president of the Supreme People's Court.

Wang made the remarks in a report Wednesday to the 11th session of the 11th National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, the top legislature.

"Some [enforcement officers] abused their power for personal gains, or made power-for-money deals, involving tens of thousands of yuan and bringing bad social influence," Wang said.

Wang said work style of certain enforcement officers also needed improvement.

"Some were indifferent, cold, fretful, or perfunctory when handling their work. Bureaucratism has been conspicuous," he said.

Wang pledged to step up measures in improving enforcement officers' professional levels, work style and combating corruption.
