Not required. The essence of the judicial process in criminal cases is that the state punishes criminal acts, so whether criminal cases are public prosecution cases or private prosecution cases, there is no need to pay litigation fees. The People's Court does not charge litigation fees when hearing criminal incidental civil litigation cases. However, if the party concerned does not file a criminal incidental civil lawsuit during the litigation process, but instead files a separate civil lawsuit for the civil part, the litigation fees shall be paid according to the charging standards. The interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on the application of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that the People's Court does not charge litigation fees for hearing incidental civil litigation cases. Incidental civil lawsuits should be filed after the criminal case is filed and before the first-instance judgment is pronounced. If the victim is an individual, he or she may file an incidental civil lawsuit directly with the People's Court; in a public prosecution case, during the investigation or prosecution stage, an incidental civil lawsuit may also be filed through the investigation agency or procuratorial agency. If the state or collective property suffers losses, the legal person or other organization that suffered the loss may directly file an incidental civil lawsuit with the People's Court, or may file it through the investigation and prosecution authorities during the investigation and prosecution stages; if the unit that suffered the loss does not file a lawsuit, it may be filed before the People's Court. After the procuratorate files a public prosecution, it can file an incidental civil lawsuit. Legal objectives:
