If the lawyer of first instance neglects his duty, the lawyer of second instance may be replaced. Article 59 of the Civil Procedure Law: A power of attorney signed or sealed by the client must be submitted to the people's court when entrusting others to represent the litigation. The power of attorney must specify the entrusted matters and authority. An agent ad litem must have the special authorization of the client, and can admit, waive or change the claim, make a settlement, file a counterclaim or appeal on his behalf. The power of attorney sent or entrusted by China people living abroad and China citizens must be authenticated by China people and China embassies and consulates in that country. If there is no embassy or consulate, it shall be certified by the embassy or consulate of a third country that has diplomatic relations with the people of China, and then by the embassy or consulate of China and China in the third country, or by the local patriotic overseas Chinese organization.
Second, can the second trial of civil litigation be postponed?
The second trial of a civil action may also be postponed.
The second trial, like the first trial, can be postponed as long as it is postponed according to law. The provisions of Article 132 of the Civil Procedure Law may be extended under any of the following circumstances:
1, the parties who have to appear in court and other participants in the proceedings have justified reasons not to appear in court;
2. The party concerned temporarily applies for withdrawal;
3. It is necessary to notify new witnesses to appear in court, obtain new evidence, re-identify, conduct an inquest, or supplement the investigation;
4. Other circumstances that should be postponed.
The procedure of second instance, also known as the procedure of appeal trial, is the steps, ways and methods that the people's court of second instance should follow when trying the facts and applicable laws determined by the judgments and rulings of the people's court of first instance that have not yet taken legal effect according to the appellant's appeal or the people's procuratorate's protest. It is an independent litigation stage in criminal proceedings.
Third, the way of second instance appeal.
Appeals can be made by appeal or orally. The appellant's appeal can be filed through the people's court of first instance or directly to the people's court of second instance.
