The local people's court and the municipal intermediate people's court have made judgments. Isn't it the system of second instance and final adjudication? Why did they receive a court summons?

In China, the second trial is the final trial, but the parties may apply for a retrial if they think the case is wrong.

If the parties think that the effective judgment, ruling or mediation made by the people's court is wrong, they may apply to the court at the next higher level or to the people's court at the same level for retrial.

According to Article 199 of the Civil Procedure Law, if a party considers that a legally effective judgment or ruling is wrong, it may apply to the people's court at the next higher level for retrial; A case in which one party has a large number of people or both parties are citizens may also apply to the people's court that originally tried the case for retrial. If a party applies for a retrial, the execution of the judgment or ruling shall not be stopped.

According to Article 241 of the Criminal Procedure Law, the parties, their legal representatives and close relatives may appeal to the people's court or the people's procuratorate against the legally effective judgment or ruling, but they cannot stop the execution of the judgment or ruling.
