This paper investigates empirically how Chinese courts adjudicate eminent domain decisions for the first time and proves that even the non-independent Chinese courts can curb local governments’ eminent domain power to some extent. We hand-coded 586 eminent domain judgements awarded by the High People’s Courts of China from 2014-2015, which were made available by the Supreme People’s Court of China recently.
We look forward to welcoming you on July 3-5, 2023 for our Annual Conference entitled "Islands and Ocean: Public Law in a Plural World." The conference will take place at the Victoria University of Wellington, in New Zealand.
