1. General

1.1 General Characteristics of the Legal System

The legal system of the Macau Special Administrative Region (Sala Macau) was based on civil law. The judicial system consists of the courts and the prosecution.

The courts hold full judicial powers, and the Prosecution Office is considered an autonomous judicial organ, whose leading direct tasks are to comply with the law and represent the interests of the Macau Special Administrative Region (and other organizations) in court, as well as to carry out criminal investigations.

Judicial System

The judicial system of Sala Macau is based on adversarial relations.

However, the Tribunal has the ability to enforce confirmations that it considers relevant to the adoption of a conclusion, but if it does not seek one of the parties, the Tribunal could not block a dispute resolution initiative. The Tribunal has the ability to consider only precedents established by the parties (except those that are disclosed and uncontested, prevalent in the performance of its obligations and have a determining significance, or those that the parties invoke with a rushed intent).

The principle is that, in effect, any conclusion has almost no chance of being accepted until the appropriate party has expressed its views and evidence. During the proceedings, each party has the right to make its own deal with all the actions of the party and the evidence submitted to the court. Of course, there are exceptions to this principle that are provided to ensure the effectiveness of the conclusion. In such circumstances, there is an opportunity for a provisional conclusion to be adopted, and conversely, the party whose conclusion is accepted will have the opportunity to adopt the conclusion and then take its own objections and affirmations, which will then be appropriately modified by the Tribunal.

The Tribunal functions in earnest agreement with the principles of impartiality and objectivity, and its conclusions are the most lawful. It should not be monotonous. The specific procedure depends on what one of the parties requests.

Civil litigation procedure

The first stage of the procedure is based on the first written execution. The judge examines materials and evidence documents enacted by the parties, and transferring the case to the court if supplementary evidence is required. Host trials are given to court, with testimony from witnesses, experts, and parties to court. The court and the parties may have a certain restriction, and can interrogate and correct witnesses, and ask arbitrators to make additional statements. A written statement may be attached to the class only in exceptional cases, and the final argument on the duty of the precedent is submitted verbally to the court. The final legal claim is likely to be submitted verbally if the parties agree, but in an unpleasant case, it should be submitted in front of the final prison.

Any judicial conclusion must be supported, which led to the adoption, but in fact, a specific design that provides clarity and objectivity that the party can be judged in the case of complaints. It is obliged to comply with.

Criminal lawsuit

Criminal procedures are still based on opposition, but their structure is different. The investigation is conducted by the Public Prosecutor's Office, which is considered an autonomous judicial authority. At the end of the investigation, the Public Prosecutor's Office will collect complaints based on evidence and send them to the court. During the investigation, the judge dresses as the host of the investigative agency. However, the end of the investigation will be noted by the opportunity to make an objection without confirming all the prosecutor's claims. For this reason, the defendant has the option of requesting that the mediator in the preparation procedure to examine the indictment before the incident is transferred to the court, or the court of the first instance. 。

1.2 Court System

In Sal Macau, the autonomous judicial system is operated until the conclusion is reached. The design of the judicial system is specified by the Act No. 9 of the 1999, but has been revised by the 2019 Act No. 4.

Trends and Developments

Authors

Court and/ or each parties have a question or question that thinks that it is appropriate to seek specialized judgment and verification that takes advantage of the strengths of highly specialized institutions, and request this verification. There is an opportunity, and one or several experts will be appointed. In this case, experts have no attention to the fact that a report by an expert is made in a no n-judicial way and provided before the start of the trial, and experts have regarded the explanation arising from any questions or reports. , There is an option to be asked for testimony to court during a trial.

Under a specific living situation, the judge has options to use the provision of solutions by two experts.

See Section 1. 3 "Trial Articles and Procedures".

Furthermore, the protocol of the hearing and the hearing will be conducted in writing, but thorough records are not issued and are not saved.

Recording and recording of evidence can be requested by the parties or ordered by the court, but if such testimony is not provided in court, the record is considered indispensable.

Protocols and records are stored in court, usually provided browsing without restrictions for the parties, lawyers, and those who pay reason for, but at that time, viewing damages the ambition and dignity of personal life. It does not harm morality, or the ultimate danger of the last court's conclusion.

The Sarl Macau's legal system was introduced during the 4th century Portuguese rule, and it is thought that hearing will be acceptable under the civil litigation society. Salard Macau is paying a lot of interest in the court's direct duties to ensure harmony and quick progress from the beginning to the end of the trial. In addition to ensuring the legal nature of the parties' litigation, the judge will establish an appropriate precedent, ensure or decide on a lawsuit that considers it is important to make an appropriate trial and end it. This includes the right to make a decision on a lawsuit that may be overturned. The referee also includes the right to adjust the specific standards of the procedure if it is judged that it is sufficient in consideration of the person in the case.

The referee stands in front of the hearing and trial, controls all the impacts of the parties, observes compliance and legalness, and maintains order when needed or considered.

Although the Macau Special Administrative Region Civil Procedure Law allows for strict deadlines for filing a defense, performing legal acts, etc., it does not provide for a cumulative deadline for legal proceedings, and the period may vary due to numerous domestic and foreign legal proceedings.

... Even if the parties reach material agreements during the arbitration session and the circumstances are submitted to the arbitrator for approval, they become part of the proceedings and are therefore subject to the common standards and frameworks set out in Section 1. 3 "Judicial Materials and Procedures" and Section 7. 6 "Degree of Publicity of Hearings" regarding publicity. However, the parties have every opportunity to decide to maintain confidentiality for certain circumstances of the material agreements.

The settlement agreement is enforceable in accordance with the common standards and provisions of the Civil Procedure Law of the Macau Special Administrative Region. The circumstances of enforcement depend on whether all or part of the circumstances of the main agreement have been disclosed to the court. If the matter to be enforced has been approved by the court, enforcement shall be carried out in accordance with the rules on enforcement of judgments, otherwise in accordance with the rules on enforcement of agreements.

The settlement agreement approved by the Tribunal as res judicata is only likely to be set aside by an extraordinary appeal, in which case the agreement in principle shall be invalid as a result of the conclusion based on res judicata.

The above does not prevent the parties from reaching an out-of-court agreement, on the basis of which they agree to resolve the issue that is the subject of the above-mentioned proceedings in another way.

In civil declaratory proceedings, the Tribunal may

declare the existence of a claimant's right or probability;

{declare the existence of a claimant's right or probability. }
