Tongfang Dynamics | Focusing on the Highlights of the New Law and Serving as a “Guardian” for Administrative Review
Rule of law development
2023-12-16
On September 1, 2023, the Fifth Session of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress adopted the newly revised Administrative Reconsideration Law by vote. The law will take effect on January 1, 2024. The newly revised Administrative Reconsideration Law actively addresses public concerns, clarifies the principles, duties, and safeguards for administrative reconsideration, improves regulations on the scope of administrative reconsideration, introduces measures to make it more convenient for applicants to file requests for administrative reconsideration, strengthens the capacity of administrative reconsideration to absorb and resolve administrative disputes, refines procedures for accepting and hearing administrative reconsideration cases, and enhances the supervisory role of administrative reconsideration over administrative law enforcement.
To intensify the study and publicity of the newly revised Administrative Reconsideration Law and to ensure its effective implementation, the Justice Bureau of Heping District, Shenyang City, held a special lecture on the Administrative Reconsideration Law on the afternoon of December 15. Attorney Fu Zanru, partner at Tongfang Law Firm and a member of the legal advisory team for the Heping District Government as well as a member of the Heping District Administrative Reconsideration Advisory Committee, participated in this special lecture. He provided an interpretation of the key revisions and highlights of the newly revised Administrative Reconsideration Law and engaged in lively exchanges and discussions with staff members from the Heping District Justice Bureau.
Since beginning his practice, Attorney Fu Zanru has served as legal counsel for numerous administrative agencies within the province and has repeatedly participated in the resolution of administrative reconsideration cases, administrative litigation, and various other administrative disputes, accumulating extensive theoretical and practical experience. During this event, Attorney Fu Zanru discussed the new Administrative Reconsideration Law from multiple angles—including its background, significance, and key highlights—while drawing on real-world issues encountered in practice and using vivid, engaging case studies. He explained the new law’s enhancements in areas such as expanding the scope of administrative reconsideration, refining pre-reconsideration requirements, strengthening the ability of administrative reconsideration to address administrative disputes, and improving the procedures for hearing administrative reconsideration cases. The interactive atmosphere at the event was exceptionally lively.
Tongfang Law Firm will continue to provide sophisticated legal services and demonstrate a diligent work ethic, serving as a “guardian” for administrative reconsideration and an “advocate” for laws and regulations in the prevention and resolution of administrative disputes.
