“…This paper first analyses the types of cases, geographical distribution, standing, distribution of causes of action, jurisdiction, claims, adjudication, and other elements in 339 cases of MEPIL. Based on the analysis, it is found that China's MEPIL has distinctive characteristics (Jia, 2022) and is designed to protect public interests such as marine ecology and biological resource diversity (Li, 2022), effectively enforces the law (Liu Z., 2020) and enhance sustainable development (Zhai, 2018). In addition, China's MEPIL faces obstacles such as a low record of lawsuits filed by administrative organs, inadequate legal basis for standing of social organizations, under-utilization of the ecological damage compensation (Xie and Xu, 2021), and the defects of the litigation jurisdiction system (Xie and Xu, 2022).…”

Marine pollution and ecological damage seriously undermine economic and social development and human life and health and threaten the sustainable development of human society. With the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization and the intense exploitation of marine space and marine natural resources, China’s marine ecology is facing serious problems such as pollution of marine waters, the decline of marine plant and animal resources, and the impairment of the ecological function of coastal zones. China’s marine environmental public interest litigation (MEPIL) has achieved remarkable results in protecting marine natural resources, safeguarding the marine ecosystem, and preventing marine pollution and ecological damage. The paper closely combines the judicial practice of Chinese MEPIL, exploring 339 legal cases brought by administrative organs, public prosecutors, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) presented on the China Judgment Online from 2018 to 2023. It can be concluded that three modes of MEPIL, namely civil, administrative, and civil public interest litigation incidental to criminal proceedings, have been constructed. Attempts have been made to confirm the standing of the litigation, improve the pre-litigation procedure, and clarify the types of compensation. However, significant obstacles exist in China’s MEPIL. Theoretical clarifications and practical distinctions with other types of proceedings should be made. The current standing should be improved regarding procuratorial organs, administrative authorities, and social organizations. Court jurisdiction systems need to be enhanced. Inconsistencies in the legal provisions on whether MEPIL cases must be under the exclusive jurisdiction of the maritime courts have impeded the efficiency of the handling of cases. The corresponding solutions to the aforementioned obstacles are also analyzed. Clarifying the MEPIL’s nature and improving the relevant laws, and regulations, are essential measures. In addition, providing the explicit interpretation of the legal provisions, expanding the standing, and improving the jurisdictional and other legal system should be explored.

Environmental pollution litigation cases (EPLCs) are experiencing a significant upward trend attributable to the extensive discharge of pollutants in China. However, the driving factors of EPLCs remain ambiguous. Herein, a comprehensive research framework is established by using the logarithmic mean divisia index (LMDI) method for investigating the driving factors of China’s EPLCs. The provinces of Henan, Jilin, Shandong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Guangdong stand out as the regions with the highest number of EPLCs. The GDP per capita and incidence rate promote the incidence of EPLCs, while emission intensity and emission intensity per unit area inhibit the occurrence of EPLCs. Population and population density have less impact on EPLCs. These findings should serve as references for controlling the occurrence of EPLCs in different provinces in China.

El objetivo general del artículo fue analizar sistemáticamente mediante la revisión de literatura el impacto de la vulneración del derecho a contradicción en el proceso de colaboración eficaz que recurre al empleo de la prueba pericial. La metodología utilizada fue cualitativa, de tipo básico y con diseño de revisión sistemática, por ello contó con una muestra de 6 artículos relacionados con la temática del estudio. Respecto a los resultados, se determinó que la prueba pericial aporta cogniciones de otras materias cuya relación con el Derecho acrecienta la posibilidad de comprender la situación y resolver un juicio de la manera más integral posible, para lo cual también debe cerciorarse el principio de contradicción. Por otra parte, la indagación se limitó al no realizar comparaciones constitucionales con otros sistemas legales para concebir las diferencias constantes que implican concepciones a tener en consideración; sin embargo, el valor del estudio recayó en el reconocimiento del impacto que la vulneración del derecho mencionado implica para las sociedades y los individuos según su responsabilidad y las imputaciones por las cuales deben responder. Finalmente, se concluyó que el principio de contradicción es crucial para un juicio íntegro y debe reforzarse cuando se reciba evidencia desde otras ramas del conocimiento.
