The Supreme People’s Court promulgated Several Provisions on Publishing the List of Dishonest Persons Subject to Enforcement, effective October 1, 2013.
According to the Court’s statistics for enforcement cases involving debtors with property from 2008 to 2012, more than 70% of persons subject to enforcement evaded, obstructed or even violently resisted enforcement, while fewer than 30% complied voluntarily. The provisions seek to address these enforcement difficulties.
Courts at all levels must enter qualifying debtors into the Supreme People’s Court’s database and make the list publicly available. They may also publish information through newspapers, radio, television, the Internet, notice boards and other channels, and periodically explain the status of the list through press conferences or other means.
A person who has the ability to comply but fails to perform obligations established by an effective legal instrument may be listed if any of the following circumstances applies:
1. Obstructing or resisting enforcement through fabricated evidence, violence, threats or similar means.
2. Evading enforcement through sham litigation or arbitration, concealment or transfer of property, or similar means.
3. Violating the property-reporting requirements.
4. Violating an order restricting high consumption.
5. Refusing, without proper justification, to perform an enforcement settlement agreement.
6. Other circumstances involving refusal to perform obligations established by an effective legal instrument despite having the ability to do so.
