Designated jurisdiction is the intentional change of the order of jurisdiction due to the particularity of individual cases. Aiming at safeguarding judicial justice, it has brought about positive effects in practice. However, there are also some defects in this system, such as the casual application of designated jurisdiction, the lack of effective connection between the investigative, procuratorial and trial organizations, the disrespect for the right of objection to jurisdiction, etc. Imperfection of the system weakens the function of judicial review, hinders people's lawful rights, violates legal principles, increases litigious cost, and affects litigious efficiency. Such problems are related to the unique feature of our existing institutional structure of dividing responsibility for their own work, coordinating their efforts and checking each other, and the special form of the collective exercise of judicial power. Moreover, the inquisitorial litigious mode breaks the balance between national power and personal rights, which causes designated jurisdiction to become power-oriented, administrative and punishment-oriented. To reform and improve this system, a mode evolving around trial should still be applied. The pre-trial designated jurisdiction should be clarified and the procuratorial organizations should be allowed to supervise such designation. Designated jurisdiction during trial should be forwarded by the procuratorial organizations and determined by the people's courts. As for the guiding thought, we should adhere to legal proceedings and be cautious in the application of designated jurisdiction. We should also adhere to the principle of convenience, that is, organizations should be designated for the convenience of case handling. As for the perfection of the system, the applicative scope of the designated jurisdiction should be defined, and the subjects, influencing factors of designated jurisdiction and the procedure to decide it should be clarified. Besides, proper and concrete procedures for the application of designated jurisdiction should be established, and the right of objection to jurisdiction should be acknowledged and guaranteed. |
