LEGAL guidelines issued by the Supreme People’s Court and the Procuratorate will have to be reported to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee from now on in a bid to strengthen the rule of law and the role of the constitution. The NPC Standing Committee has also set up a procedure to check local rules and repeal those that violate superseding laws and the constitution if the government departments responsible fail to redress the problems, Xinhua reported Monday.
