A special law court unveiled last Thursday in Pudong district aims to deal with civil and commercial cases during the World Expo 2010.

The Expo covers the districts of Pudong, Huangpu and Luwan, but about three-fourths of its land and facilities are in Pudong.

To avoid overlap of jurisdictions in Expo-related cases, the Shanghai High Court has designated the special court to rule on a variety of disputes ranging from construction of facilities to tickets and insurance.

The new court team include six judges - five for civil and commercial case judgment and one for enforcement.

The Expo court has already begun to hear cases about house leasing, software sales, real estate management and property damage.
