Research on the Legal System of Representative Action in China

As a special litigation form, representative litigation has more prominent ad-vantages than traditional litigation mode in dealing with group disputes. The theoretical basis of agency litigation includes litigation efficiency, right relief and unity of application. As far as the judicial practice of our country is con-cerned, the actual operation effect of this system has not reached the initial ex-pectation of the legislation, its application rate is very low, and its bearing func-tion is also limited to a certain extent, can not meet the actual needs of solving group disputes. The problems in the representative litigation system mainly lie in the following aspects: the limited application scope of the representative liti-gation, the imperfect announcement procedure, the blank of the appeal legisla-tion procedure and the lack of the reward mechanism. Therefore, in order to play the role of this system well, we must constantly improve it and test it in practice, so as to better play its due role. It is necessary to expand the scope of application of representative litigation, lower the threshold of application, so that more and more parties involved in a large number of cases to participate in litigation activities and protect their legitimate rights and interests. Second, we should improve the announcement procedure, for some" Free rider" illegal acts, will be severely punished. In addition, we should perfect the legislative 23 pro-cedure of appeal, because in our country's litigation system and judicial inter-pretation, there is no special legislative provision for representative litigation, therefore, there is a contradiction between the judicial interpretation and the actual implementation of the appeal, which requires us to conduct an in-depth analysis and study on the problems existing in the appeal procedure, and con-stantly improve and optimize it. Finally, we should build a mechanism to reward and motivate the litigant representative, when a party with a large number of litigants wins a case in group litigation, the representative can be given the right to receive compensation in priority, and get paid for it.
