What should I do next after receiving the short message from the people's court mediation platform?

Legal analysis: It shows that the case has been formally accepted and put on record. The next step is that the people's court will send a copy of the indictment to the defendant within five days from the date of filing the case, and the defendant will submit a defense within fifteen days from the date of receipt.

Legal basis: Article 97 of the Civil Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). If an agreement is reached through mediation, the people's court shall make a conciliation statement. The conciliation statement shall specify the claim, the facts of the case and the result of conciliation. The conciliation statement shall be signed by the judge and the clerk, stamped with the seal of the people's court and served on both parties. The conciliation statement has legal effect after being signed by both parties.
