This year marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of China's Maritime Court. The Supreme People's Court issued the 41st batch of Guiding Cases on the 26th. This is the first time that the Supreme Court has issued a guiding case on maritime adjudication, covering areas such as maritime cargo transportation contracts, shipwreck rescue, and liability for damage caused by ship contact, providing more authoritative and clear guidelines for adjudicating similar cases. According to reports, maritime cases mainly involve civil and commercial disputes in the fields of ships, transportation, marine development and utilization, or related fields. They have characteristics such as strong expertise, many foreign-related factors, and special procedural regulations, and occupy an important position in the field of international justice. The Guiding Cases issued this time will further resolve difficult issues in the application of laws in the maritime sector, unify adjudication standards for such cases, and raise the overall level of maritime trials in China.
