The review procedure of civil retrial application is the pre-procedure of the retrial of a case. There is a serious shortage of legislative supply for the review procedure of civil retrial application in China. With the continuous improvement of the People’s ability and level of judicial supervision，the number of civil retrial applications has increased substantially year by year. But there are many practical problems，it is urgent to reconstruct the legislation. It is suggested that a complete set of review procedures should be reconstructed，and the export should be appropriately tightened through the trial procedure，so as to realize the effective unification between the parties’ legal needs for applying for retrial and the stability of the effective judgment of the people’s court，and to lay a solid foundation for the function of civil trial supervision procedures.
