Motivation

edit

This is a restart of WIPO Lex ID (P12720), which I proposed in Wikidata:Property_proposal/case_number_(mainland_China), but the community finally defined the property as WIPO Lex ID, since all examples (court judgements/decisions) I introduced in the proposal were from the WIPO website. :D
Today when I wanted to enter data for this property, I find it completely changed, but reasonable.

I'm re-proposing the China property here.
For any formal judgement from a court (or eligible authority) in mainland China, there's a unique case id (案号, lit. case number) assigned to that legal proceeding. See third line (right-aligned) of Page 1 of a formal court decision. This id is almost the same as U. S. Supreme Court docket number (P7063).

There's a definitive regulation of case ids published in 2015 by China's supreme court. An unofficial English translation is available here if you're interested.

Case ids before 2015 (start of nation-wide digitization) can't be expected to follow a fixed style or format. So I would like to allow this property as a free-form text field, rather than a very strict one. --XsLiDian (talk) 14:04, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
