Open and shut administrative cases
Some 70 percent of administrative cases the Pudong New Area People's Court accepted in the latter half of last year were related to police, urban construction, market, planning, labor and social security, housing and land expropriation.
According to a white paper released on Thursday, the court accepted 606 administrative cases against city-level and district authorities in the latter half of last year.
Among these cases, 153 are in connection with Baoshan District, 126 are connected to Minhang District, 117 with Huangpu District and 55 with Chongming District. The remaining 155 are related to city-level authorities.
The majority of cases in Huangpu concerned administrative agreements and land expropriation information disclosure. The area is the centre of redevelopment.
Baoshan and Minhang are being transformed from old industrial areas, and so illegal structures in old towns and communities are a big problem.
Two major types of disputes in Chongming District concerned labor and social security, as well as agriculture.
Nearly 130 cases ended with mediation.
