附带民事诉讼

　　被害人由于被告人的犯罪行为而遭受物质损失的，在刑事诉讼过程中，有权提起附带民事诉讼。被害人死亡或者丧失行为能力的，被害人的法定代理人、近亲属有权提起附带民事诉讼。

　　如果是国家财产、集体财产遭受损失的，人民检察院在提起公诉的时候，可以提起附带民事诉讼。

　　人民法院在必要的时候，可以采取保全措施，查封、扣押或者冻结被告人的财产。附带民事诉讼原告人或者人民检察院可以申请人民法院采取保全措施。人民法院采取保全措施，适用民事诉讼法的有关规定。

　　人民法院审理附带民事诉讼案件，可以进行调解，或者根据物质损失情况作出判决、裁定。

　　附带民事诉讼应当同刑事案件一并审判，只有为了防止刑事案件审判的过分迟延，才可以在刑事案件审判后，由同一审判组织继续审理附带民事诉讼。
　

INCIDENTAL CIVIL ACTIONS

　　Where a victim has suffered any material loss as a result of the defendant’s crime, the victim shall have the right to institute an incidental civil action during criminal procedures. If the victim is dead or has lost capacity of conduct, his or her legal representative or close relative shall have the right to institute an incidental civil action.

　　Where state property or collective property has suffered any loss, a people’s procuratorate may institute an incidental civil action along with a public prosecution.

　　A people’s court may, when necessary, take a preservative measure to seize, impound, or freeze the property of a defendant. In an incidental civil action, the plaintiff or the people’s procuratorate may apply to the people’s court for taking a preservative measure. Where a people’s court takes a preservative measure, the relevant provisions of the Civil Procedure Law shall apply.

　　When trying an incidental civil case, a people’s court may conduct mediation or render a judgment or ruling based on the material loss.

　　An incidental civil action shall be heard concurrently with the criminal case. An incidental civil action may be heard by the same judicial organization after the trial of the criminal case only to prevent the excessive delay of the trial of the criminal case.
