What if the retrial time limit expires?

The time limit for applying for retrial in civil cases and administrative cases is six months after the judgment or ruling becomes legally effective, and the time limit for applying for retrial in criminal cases is two years after the execution of the penalty. In civil cases, there is enough new evidence to overturn the original judgment; The evidence on which the original judgment was based was forged; If a judge commits any act of bending the law in the course of trial, the time limit for retrial shall be counted from the day when he knows or should know. If the time limit for applying for retrial has expired and the applicant cannot apply for retrial on his own, he may put forward suggestions for internal error correction to the court of first instance. In criminal cases, the defendant in the original trial can be declared innocent; The defendant in the original trial filed a complaint with the people's court within the time limit stipulated in this article. If the case rejected by the people's court is difficult, complicated or major, it is not subject to the limitation of two years.
