The Supreme People's Court of Vietnam issued Document No. 01/2017/GD-TANDTC to address professional obstacles during the resolution of criminal, administrative, and civil cases.
The Supreme People's Court responds to some obstacles related to criminal law, criminal procedure, enforcement of criminal judgments (ECJ); civil procedure, enforcement of civil judgments, and administrative procedure. Specifically:
- Postponement of prison sentence execution for female convicts who are pregnant/nursing children under 36 months old.
In this case, the convict may postpone the execution of the prison sentence until the child reaches 36 months old, regardless of whether the pregnancy and childbirth were intentional to avoid serving the prison sentence;
- Loan interest rates in credit agreements exceeding 150% of the basic interest rate of the State Bank of Vietnam.
For loan agreements where one party is a credit institution, the interest rate of the loan agreement shall be determined by agreement and not according to Clause 1 Article 476 of the 2005 Civil Code.
See details in Document 01/2017/GD-TANDTC issued on April 7, 2017.
