The implementation of the innovative legal system whereby the person in charge of an administrative agency appears in court as the respondent in administrative litigation against the agency is an inherent requirement of administrative litigation. The stability and prosperity of Sichuan Province depends on the implementation of the rule of law，which in turn depends on giving full play to the role of the “key few” or “critical minority”. The Party committees，governments and people’s courts at various levels in Sichuan Province have attached great importance to the implementation of legal provisions on the appearance in court of the person in charge of an administrative agency as the respondent in administrative litigation against the agency and established corresponding supporting systems and adopted various measures to implement the system. Through their concerted efforts，currently a consensus on this system has already been reached among persons in charge of administrative agencies at various levels in Sichuan Province and actual results have been achieved in promoting the substantive resolution of administrative disputes through this system. However，some problems have also emerged in the implementation of the system. To solve these problems，the Higher People’s Court of Sichuan Province has put forward suggestions on the improvement of the system in light of the administrative trial practice and actual conditions of the Province.
