Who should bear the expenses incurred by witnesses in criminal cases?

Now people's living standards are getting better and better, but with the continuous development of social economy, there will be many disputes in society. Then Bian Xiao also saw a netizen asking such a question on the Internet. Who should bear the expenses incurred by witnesses in criminal cases?

First, the party providing the witness pays. In fact, many netizens may be confused about this problem, but the expenses incurred by witnesses in criminal cases are generally paid by the party providing the witnesses. Moreover, China's relevant laws and regulations also have some provisions on this point. In judicial interpretation, there are special provisions on the compensation mechanism for witnesses to testify in court. The expenses incurred by testifying in court shall be paid by the party providing the witness and then borne by the losing party. In fact, the reason why the state stipulates this is to encourage witnesses to go out and testify bravely.

Second, the relevant provisions of national laws If the state does not have clear provisions in this regard, then many people will not choose to testify in court voluntarily, so it will not help the parties to the incident. The state has also made some provisions in the Civil Procedure Law. If the witness has spent the corresponding expenses for testifying in court, then these expenses will be borne by the losing party.

Three. Conclusion If a party applies for a witness to testify, it shall be submitted by the party in advance. If the other party loses the case during the trial, the expenses shall be borne by the losing party. If the party concerned fails to file the relevant application, the people's court shall notify the witness to testify in court, and the corresponding expenses shall be paid in advance by the people's court. In fact, the reason for this provision is to encourage more people to testify in court.
