If the denounced party dies, will denunciation settlement continue in Vietnam?
One of the people I denounced for making a mistake in land management has died, can the denunciation settlement continue? The others I denounced are still living normally.
If the denounced party dies, will denunciation settlement continue in Vietnam?
Pursuant to Clauses 1 and 3, Article 34 of the 2018 Law on Denunciations, suspension and termination of denunciation settlement are as follows:
1. A denunciation handler may issue a decision on suspension of denunciation settlement on one of the following grounds:
a) The result of settlement by other organizations/individuals or settlement of other relevant cases needs to be waited for;
b) The result of additional expertise or re-expertise needs to be waited for.
2. When the grounds for suspension of denunciation settlement are no longer reasonable, the denunciation handler shall immediately issue a decision to keep settling the denunciation. The time limit for suspension of denunciation settlement shall not be included in the time limit for denunciation settlement.
3. A denunciation handler may issue a decision on termination of denunciation settlement on one of the following grounds:
a) The denouncer totally withdraws the denunciation, except in the case specified in Clause 3 Article 33 of this Law;
b) The denounced party is an individual who is dead and the denunciation is only related to the denounce party’s responsibilities.
c) The case has been settled under an effective judgment or an effective judicial decision or an effective decision issued by a competent organization/individual.
Thus, according to the regulations in Vietnam, the proceedings will be terminated in case the denounced party dies and the denunciation is only related to the responsibility of the denounced party.
And in your case, only one of the people you denounced died, the content of the denunciation is still related to the others. Therefore, the denunciation will still be handled as usual, and the denunciation settlement will not be terminated in Vietnam.
Best Regards!
