The Supreme People's Court announces the trial of typical cases involving environmental supervision of motor vehicles by the People's Court in accordance with the law

2025-07-17   

On the 5th, the Supreme People's Court released three typical cases of motor vehicle environmental supervision that were tried by the people's courts in accordance with the law, guiding the public to enhance environmental awareness, promoting the legal and compliant operation of the motor vehicle testing industry, and promoting the formation of a green development mode and lifestyle. The motor vehicle emission inspection agency is an important gateway to control the compliance of motor vehicle exhaust emissions, and the inspection report issued by it is the direct basis for determining whether motor vehicle emissions meet environmental standards. Motor vehicle inspection agencies that engage in fraud and provide false certification documents have transformed from environmental protectors to environmental polluters. People's courts should crack down severely in accordance with the law to maintain the fairness and seriousness of motor vehicle emission inspection activities. In the first case released this time, a certain motor vehicle testing company and its legal representative Chen purchased OBD simulators and exhaust emission cheating software, and issued false certification documents for more than 400 motor vehicles. The company has received two or more administrative penalties within two years for providing false certification documents, and the circumstances are serious. The people's court sentenced the company to a fine of 300000 yuan for providing false certification documents in accordance with the law, and sentenced the relevant responsible persons to fixed-term imprisonment and fines, which will effectively deter the illegal and criminal activities of providing false certification documents in the motor vehicle emission inspection industry. A good ecological environment is the most universal welfare for people's livelihoods, and any illegal behavior that causes damage to the ecological environment should bear corresponding compensation responsibilities. In Case 2, Li dismantled the three-way catalytic converter of a leased vehicle and replaced it with inferior products for profit. A certain car rental department knowingly allowed the vehicle's exhaust system to be unqualified and allowed it to be driven on the road. Both actions caused damage to the atmospheric environment. On the basis of investigating Li's criminal responsibility in accordance with the law, the people's court also guided a car rental department and Li to actively bear the cost of ecological environment damage caused in civil public interest litigation through mediation, ensuring that the damaged ecological environment is fully and timely repaired, fully reflecting the principle of "valuable environment and responsibility for damage", and demonstrating the comprehensive protection of the ecological environment by the judiciary. According to the law, ecological and environmental authorities have the responsibility to investigate and punish illegal activities in the field of motor vehicle environmental supervision. In Case Three, the ecological environment regulatory department imposed a penalty of confiscating illegal gains and imposing a fine on a testing company for issuing false motor vehicle emission inspection reports in violation of regulations. A certain testing company failed to pay fines and illegal gains on time, and the ecological environment department applied to the people's court for compulsory enforcement. The people's court ruled to allow compulsory enforcement, supporting the administrative punishment of the ecological environment department for the illegal act of issuing false emission inspection reports by inspection agencies in accordance with the law, maintaining the seriousness and authority of ecological environment law enforcement activities, and promoting the formation of a good situation of multi-party collaborative governance.
