"Cases, like textbooks, can help the firms understand the law and authority better," said Zhu Haixiang, a deputy chief procurator.
In the near future, the procurators being in charge of the contact points will issue more cases about business regularly. They will also hold salons and lectures online and offline to provide a platform for knowing firms' judicial problems during their operation and popularizing law, Liang said.
Zong said the procuratorate should release more related cases after the implementation of the Civil Code at the beginning of next year.
