Civil action incidental to criminal proceedings is a litigation activity in which the court conducts a joint trial on the compensation for direct material losses caused by criminal acts according to the application of the victim or the procuratorial organ in the process of hearing criminal cases. The specific procedures of criminal incidental civil action are as follows:
1. The people's court shall decide whether to file a case within seven days after the prosecutor who meets the statutory requirements files a complaint;
2. After accepting the incidental civil action, the people's court shall serve a copy of the incidental civil complaint on the defendant and his legal representative in the incidental civil action within five days;
3. Adjacent civil actions should be tried together with criminal cases. If special circumstances require separate trials, the people should be punished first;
4. If the plaintiff in an incidental civil action refuses to appear in court after being summoned, or withdraws from court without the permission of the court, it shall be treated as withdrawal.
