1. What is an investigation order?

An investigation order refers to a legal document issued by the people's court to the agent of the party concerned to collect evidence from the relevant units and individuals after the party concerned cannot obtain the evidence he needs for objective reasons in civil litigation. The Shanghai Higher People's Court has successively promulgated the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Investigation Order of the Shanghai Court, the Operating Rules for the Application of the Investigation Order in the Case-filing Review Stage (Trial) and Several Provisions on the Use of the Investigation Order in the Execution Procedure (Trial) to promote the application of the investigation order system in the case-filing, litigation and execution procedures.

2. What evidence can a lawyer investigate with an investigation order?

In the stage of filing a case for review, the scope of applying for an investigation order is limited to the procedural evidence of whether the court can file a case, which mainly includes:

(1) Evidence to prove the qualification of the parties, such as the relocation agreement with the relevant departments, the public housing registration certificate and other evidence;

(2) Evidence to prove that the court has jurisdiction over disputes involving litigation, such as evidence that the plaintiff claims that the defendant often lives in a certain district, but has not applied for a residence permit at the police station, and needs to investigate the living conditions with the property management company, village (neighborhood) committee and sub-district office;

(three) other evidence that needs to be ordered to investigate.

If the evidence collected by the parties applying for an investigation order involves substantive issues, the filing judge shall inform them to apply to the relevant court.

(2) the property of the person subjected to execution;

(3) Whether the person subjected to execution has the creditor's rights against the third party and the property of the third party;

(4) Other circumstances that can prove whether the person subjected to execution has actual performance ability. However, laws and regulations clearly stipulate the evidence that people's court executives must investigate and collect.

It is worth noting that the forms of evidence collected by the investigation order are limited to documentary evidence such as archival materials, certificates of rights, e-books, letters and telegrams; Witness testimony and other forms of evidence shall not be included.

The function of "electronic investigation order" eliminates the pain of the parties and agents running back and forth, which is the embodiment of judicial convenience, makes the means of obtaining evidence by the parties and agents more convenient and efficient, and is also of great significance to the judge's judgment according to law and the fair administration of justice by the court.

For the promotion of this work in the future, I have a suggestion, that is, smooth communication channels during the review process, that is, leave contact information when lawyers submit applications. If the judge finds problems in the process of review, he can contact the lawyer in time to understand the specific situation and remind him to supplement and improve it, so as to speed up the process of reviewing and passing the investigation order and further improve the application rate of the investigation order.
