(1) The reasons are different. The trial is terminated due to circumstances during which the trial should not or does not need to be continued, or the trial cannot be continued due to force majeure circumstances;
(2) Legal consequences vary. After the trial is terminated, the litigation is terminated and will not be resumed, but the suspension of the trial only suspends the litigation activities. The trial shall resume once the reasons for the suspension have disappeared.
Suspension of a case trial means that the people's court decides to temporarily suspend the trial of the case after accepting the case but before making a judgment, and then resume the trial after the relevant circumstances disappear.
How long will the trial be suspended?
If the statute of limitations is suspended and force majeure has not taken effect in the last six months of the statute of limitations, suspension of trial means that after accepting the case and before making a judgment, the people's court decides to temporarily suspend the trial of the case until the relevant circumstances disappear. After that, the trial activities will be resumed.
