14.2 Growth Areas Since the implementation of the Commercial Case Adjudication Act in July 2021, the number of major commercial cases filed under that Act increased steadily in 2022 and 2023, and continued to grow in 2024. Among various types of commercial disputes, the most common ones are disputes over the dis- missal of company directors or supervisors, the valid- ity of resolutions made by shareholder meetings or the board of directors, and the exercise of appraisal rights.
Promoting Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Systems To reduce the number of civil actions, the Judicial Yuan actively promotes the use of mediation as a means of dispute resolution and is currently drafting the “Basic Law on Mediation” to improve the mediation process. Promoting Judicial Openness and Transparency To enhance public trust and confidence in the judiciary and allow public access to the court proceedings, a system for live broadcasting of court proceedings is currently under consideration.
