Methods of Adjudication and Principles for Handling New Types of Cases in the Digital Economy

Abstract

The digital economy, in the context of the development of digital industrialization and industrial digitization, continues to expand the boundaries from cyberspace to physical space, and promotes the acceleration of the transformation of traditional industries into digitalization and networking. Digital economy cases have broken through the scope of traditional Internet cases, compounding and intersecting with “intellectual property cases” and “Internet cases”. The scope of judicial involvement in the governance of the digital economy is affected by the current ambiguity regarding the meaning and scope of digital economy cases. The purpose of this paper is to examine the connotation and scope of the new types of cases in the digital economy, to sort out the adjudication concepts and adjudication methods of the new types of cases involving the digital economy, and to further explore the path of the people’s courts to participate in the digital economy governance of the dynamic judicial practice.
