The Capital, Old Tang had just stepped out of the Marine Area Procuratorate. The communication here was not particularly effective. For public interest litigation like this, the Procuratorate likewise suggested it would be more appropriate for the Consumer Association to initiate the action.
The public interest litigation currently undertaken by the Procuratorate mostly focused on environmental protection and other areas related to the criminal domain.
For instance, crimes involving the infringement of personal information—indeed, these suspects had already committed torts against the individuals whose information had been collected and sold. It wasn't as if the fact of infringement disappeared simply because they were convicted.
But individual lawsuits were not realistic; a single case might involve information from hundreds of thousands of people.
Therefore, it was more appropriate for the Procuratorate to initiate public interest litigation.
