China's National Financial Regulatory Administration has published for consultation draft rules to govern administrative reconsideration in the financial supervisory system. The draft measures are intended to align reconsideration work with the Administrative Reconsideration Law of the People's Republic of China and its implementing regulations, and to standardize how disputes over supervisory actions are handled. The draft contains eight chapters and 56 articles. It sets out core principles for administrative reconsideration, including legality, fairness, openness, efficiency and convenience for the public, and positions reconsideration as the main channel for resolving administrative disputes. It also defines the scope of cases that can be reconsidered and exclusions, allocates jurisdiction based on hierarchical authority and step-by-step review, and clarifies application and acceptance procedures, including participants, filing methods, required application content, pre-reconsideration cases, acceptance standards, time limits, consolidated handling and repeat reconsideration. In addition, it codifies review and decision-making procedures covering evidence collection, hearings, consultation of case files, protection of parties' procedural rights, review of normative documents attached to a case, review deadlines and the types and legal basis of reconsideration decisions. The administration said it will study feedback, revise the draft measures and issue them for implementation at an appropriate time.
