Administrative Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China

The Administrative Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China (Chinese: 中华人民共和国行政诉讼法; APL) is legislation passed in 1990 that authorized private suits against administrative organs and personal on the grounds of infringement of their rights.[1] The law is often referred to in English as the Administrative Litigation Law (ALL), which is a closer translation of the Chinese, but which is not the official English translation used by the PRC government. This law is often invoked in housing disputes.[2]

In 2015, the Administrative Law was revised.[3]: 136  The revisions expanded the people's rights to sue the government.[3]: 136 

The Administrative Procedure Law is thought to be an important achievement in enforcing the Chinese Constitution and its socialist legal system.[4] Also according to economist Keyu Jin, the revisions to the Administrative Procedure Law codified in 2021 marked a new milestone in improving the rule of law in China.[3]: 281
