Perspective | Research on the Responsibility for Traffic Accidents Involving "Designated Drivers"
In recent years, with the continuous increase in the number of cars in our country and the intensified crackdown on drunk driving, the ride-hailing industry has emerged as a common service in people's lives. However, while ride-hailing services bring us convenience, they have also led to a series of traffic accident disputes. Relevant data shows that the incidence of ride-hailing accidents has been on the rise in recent years, and the resulting disputes over liability have been numerous. Why is the determination of liability in ride-hailing traffic accidents so tricky? Behind this are both the complexity of the ride-hailing industry itself and the inadequacy of legal regulations. Different types of ride-hailing services, such as platform ride-hailing, private ride-hailing, and hotel ride-hailing, have entirely different legal relationships behind them; meanwhile, current laws have ambiguities in certain details regarding the definition of liability in ride-hailing accidents, which often leads to conflicting claims from all parties involved in actual dispute resolution.

On August 27, 2024, the Supreme People's Court officially issued the "Reply on the Validity of Provisions Regarding the Payment Condition of Third-Party Payments between Large Enterprises and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises" (hereinafter referred to as the "Reply"). This document clearly provides a negative evaluation of the validity of agreements that involve large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises using third-party payments as a payment condition. It also offers guidance on how to determine payment deadlines and breach of contract responsibilities after such provisions are deemed invalid. The issuance of this Reply aims to further regulate the practice of large enterprises, as general contractors, transferring the risk of payment to small and medium-sized enterprises, which are downstream suppliers. This is intended to guide and promote the healthy and orderly development of the entire construction market chain, helping all market participants, especially small and medium-sized enterprises that lack market voice, to overcome difficulties together.

Perspective | A Brief Discussion on the Enforcement of Increased Fines by the People's Court
In administrative penalties imposed by administrative agencies that involve monetary payment obligations, there is usually a notification stating: "If payment is not made by the due date, an additional penalty of 3% of the fine amount will be imposed daily." In judicial practice, different administrative agencies, based on the same laws, have made varying regulations regarding whether a separate decision for additional fines is necessary and what procedures should be followed to impose such additional fines. Furthermore, people's courts in various regions have also issued different judicial rulings on the enforcement applications for additional fines from administrative agencies. Therefore, the author believes it is necessary to sort out and analyze the legal application of additional fines to provide some reference for non-litigious administrative enforcement.
