Jurisdiction of regional People’s Courts in resolving civil cases

This study examines theoretical and practical issues concerning the jurisdiction of Regional People’s Courts in civil cases following the restructuring of Vietnam’s court system. It analyzes and compares legal provisions before and after the reorganization and considers legislative perspectives, research materials, and implementation in several localities. The findings indicate that Regional People’s Courts contribute to streamlining the judicial apparatus, reducing the workload of provincial-level courts, increasing specialization, and improving adjudicative efficiency. However, implementation has revealed difficulties in determining jurisdiction, inter-agency coordination, human resources, facilities, and citizens’ access to justice. The study proposes improving relevant legislation, strengthening judicial resources, accelerating digital transformation, and enhancing inter-agency coordination mechanisms to improve the effectiveness of civil case resolution under the new court model.
