4. Received a notice to appear in court. In practice, some courts give notice of appearance on the day when the case is submitted, while others give notice after a certain period of time.
5. Be a surrogate.
6. Participate in the experiment.
First of all, the clerk finds out whether the parties and other participants in the proceedings appear in court and announces the court discipline.
Then, the presiding judge announced the court session, checked the parties, announced the cause of action, announced the list of judges and clerks, informed the parties of their litigation rights and obligations, and asked whether the parties filed an application for withdrawal. If the parties do not apply for withdrawal, the court will continue to hold the session. Generally, both sides should be consulted first to see if they are willing to mediate. If both parties are willing to mediate, they will enter the mediation procedure. If you don't want to, continue the experiment. The plaintiff first claims the claim, facts and reasons, and then the defendant pleads.
Then, the presiding judge announced that he would enter the court for investigation. The plaintiff gives evidence first, and then the defendant cross-examines. After several rounds, after the plaintiff presented the evidence, the defendant presented the evidence and the plaintiff cross-examined. After the two sides have completed the proof and cross-examination, the court investigation is over.
The evidence and cross-examination in the court investigation stage are the most important, which affects the acceptance of the court and the success or failure of the lawsuit! Therefore, the proof should be thorough, the cross-examination should be sufficient, and there should be no carelessness. As the saying goes, "details determine success or failure", it is true.
Subsequently, after the court investigation, the presiding judge summarized the focus of the dispute and then entered the stage of free debate. On the basis of court investigation, debate freely on the focus of the dispute. First of all, the plaintiff stated his reasons and used "logical syllogism" to clarify his views and support his request. The defendant refuted the plaintiff's point of view, opposed the other party's request and safeguarded his own interests. Then, the defendant advocated his own point of view, stated the reasons, and the plaintiff refuted it. After several rounds of mutual debate, the free debate ended.
Then, the court debate ended and entered the final statement stage. The presiding judge shall consult the final opinions of both parties in the order of plaintiff and defendant. After the plaintiff's final statement, the defendant stated.
Finally, the trial ended, waiting for the court to decide according to law. Mediation can be conducted before the judgment, and mediation can also be conducted. If mediation fails, make a timely judgment.
