Can only lawyers file cases online?

At present, 100% courts in all regions of the country can apply for filing a case online. The person filing the case may be a party or an agent, and the agent may be a relative or a lawyer. If it is a party, you can file a case online by yourself. As long as you can read the text, you can basically operate the whole process online. If not, you can find relatives or lawyers to help you file a case. At present, civil and commercial, criminal and administrative cases can apply for online filing, covering the procedures of first instance, second instance, retrial and execution, and can also apply for property preservation at the same time. For those who have no money or don't want to spend money to ask a lawyer to file a case, they can handle it themselves.

I have been there before, 20 19 or 2020. At that time, I didn't understand that I could apply for filing a case online, so I hired a lawyer to file a case. The lawyer applied for online filing on the litigation platform of Shanghai court, and charged me 800 yuan just for filing the case as an agent. Then he said that if he represented him in court, he would have to charge an agency fee of 2000 yuan, and if he represented him in the future, he would have to pay extra. Because my situation at that time was that I bought something from an online website, not a big website like Taobao or Pinduoduo or JD.COM, but a website I built myself. The other party refused to deliver the goods, saying that the price was wrong and asked me to make up the money. I have spent 3888 yuan. The other party said that the website system problem caused the price error, which should be 6888. Let me make up another 3000 yuan, and I refused. I asked him for a refund, but he did not. I chased 1 for more than a month and didn't give me a refund. Later, I decided to sue him, but the lawyer charged so much. Even if he gave me a refund and deducted the lawyer's fee, there was not much left. In order to express my anger, I can only find a lawyer to file a case against him.

Because it was too impulsive, I gave it to my lawyer on the same day. 800 yuan for a lawyer and a lawsuit for me. The next day, I logged into the Shanghai court litigation service platform online, only to find that I could file a case as a party, fill in relevant information and upload evidence. Then I can file a case. Actually, it's very simple. It's done in half an hour, and 800 yuan is gone. I have some regrets.

Then last year, my relatives were cheated by more than 6000 online shopping. She won't file a case online. I successfully filed a case on her behalf because the evidence was sufficient. After filing the case, the other party took the initiative to refund before the court session. The other party also realized that if the court session was held, he would definitely lose the case and was awarded a refund by the court. Because he returned the money before the court session, it saved the follow-up travel expenses for us to appear in court and go to court. We were not in Shanghai at that time, but the other company we sued belonged to Shanghai, so we could only sue in the Shanghai court, and the court session was also held in the Shanghai court. We used to spend hundreds of dollars on travel to court.

I still have a relative who wants to take the doctor's license this year, but he doesn't have the prerequisites (education and work experience) to get the license. However, an educational institution lied to her that as long as he paid more than 8,000 yuan, the possibility of getting the certificate was over 90%, and the contract also stated that 80% of the money could be refunded within one month, and 20% of the operating expenses could not be refunded. Then my relatives asked for a refund within 7 days after payment, and the other party refused to refund. At that time, when signing the contract, he asked my relatives to open the other party's website, enter my relatives' mobile phone number verification code to log in, and then click agree to sign the contract. The other party thinks that my relatives can't save the contract because they don't have the function of saving the contract. The other party thinks that my relatives have no evidence to sue him, but it happened that my relatives recorded the screen at that time, because the contract is usually in duplicate, one for each party, but because the address of this educational institution is in Beijing, my relatives asked me to apply for filing a case on behalf of him on the online Beijing electronic litigation platform. Results After submitting the case and informing the other party, the other party took the initiative to refund.

I also have a civil and commercial case this year. I successfully filed a case as a party in Guangdong Court Litigation Service Network and obtained compensation from the other party.
