Create a prepaid consumer protection mechanism
Public lawyers contribute to the business environment under the rule of law
In order to continue to optimize the business environment under the rule of law, in response to the first case of Wujin prepaid card consumption rights protection, our district actively explored, further gave play to the role of public lawyers, and tried to implement a long-term working mechanism of departmental cooperation and social co-governance, contributing to the construction of a higher level of safe Wujin and Wujin under the rule of law.
Last year, a beauty salon in our district was transferred, and the prepaid card could not be used normally, causing more than 100 consumer complaints. Relying on the "public lawyer + public interest litigation" work model, the district public lawyer participated in the special hearings held by the district procuratorate, supported the injured consumer to file a lawsuit, and appeared in court to assist the prosecutor in performing his duties. In March last year, the district court issued a judgment in the case, ordering the three defendants to "refund one and pay three". This is the first case of Wujin prepaid card consumer rights protection, and the victim consumer successfully got back his advance payment, and his legitimate rights and interests were protected.
Due to the universality, typicality and representativeness of the "prepaid card" consumer dispute case, some unscrupulous merchants operate fraudulently and frequently "run away", seriously disrupting market order, harming the healthy development of related industries, and negatively impacting the business environment under the rule of law. In order to further standardize the order of the prepaid consumer market and stimulate the vitality of consumption, in June this year, the Political and Legal Committee of the District Party Committee and the District Public Lawyer's Office convened the District Court, the Procuratorate, the Public Security Bureau, the Commerce Bureau, the Data Bureau, the Market Supervision Bureau and other relevant departments to discuss the coordination mechanism for the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of prepaid card consumers, and explore the establishment of a long-term working mechanism of departmental cooperation and social co-governance for the supervision, prevention and disposal of commercial prepaid card disputes. After several rounds of discussion and revision, the collaborative working mechanism has been officially issued for trial implementation.
In recent years, our district has attached great importance to the work of public lawyers, giving full play to the positive role of public lawyers in ensuring economic development, protecting people's livelihood and well-being, and safeguarding fairness and justice. Dozens of public lawyers have successfully handled public interest litigation cases such as the restoration of the ancient buildings of Kuixingge in Xueyan Town, the disposal of discarded hazardous waste, the crackdown on illegal fishing, and the promotion of barrier-free facilities, and the results of public interest litigation have been continuously amplified.
In the next step, our district will continue to create an excellent mechanism for public lawyers to perform their duties, and continue to promote the work of public lawyers to a new level, so that the road for public lawyers to help the construction of the rule of law will be wider and wider.
