How long can a court bring a lawsuit to a higher court after the court issues a conciliation statement?

Civil conciliation statement refers to a legal document that the people's court urges the parties to reach an agreement through mediation on the basis of finding out the facts and distinguishing right from wrong in the process of trying civil cases on a voluntary and legal basis.

Article 88 of the Civil Procedure Law: An agreement reached through mediation must be voluntary by both parties and not forced. The contents of the mediation agreement shall not violate the law.

Article 89 of the Civil Procedure Law: If an agreement is reached through mediation, the people's court shall make a mediation statement. The conciliation statement shall specify the claim, the facts of the case and the result of conciliation.

According to the provisions of the Civil Procedure Law, if the parties provide evidence to prove that mediation violates the principle of voluntariness or the contents of the mediation agreement violate the law, they may apply for a retrial. If it is verified by the people's court, it shall be retried.

Therefore, once the court issues a conciliation statement, it cannot prosecute.
