1. Background of the Establishment of the People’s Court of Zone 16
As of July 1, 2025, the model of regional people’s courts officially replaces district-level courts in major localities such as Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong Province. This reform aims to streamline the judicial system, enhance specialization in adjudication, and improve the efficiency of dispute resolution.
The People’s Court of Zone 16 was established to assume first-instance jurisdiction previously held by the People’s Courts of Thuan An and Di An—two rapidly growing urban-industrial centers in Binh Duong Province.
2. Jurisdiction of the People’s Court of Zone 16
The People’s Court of Zone 16 has first-instance jurisdiction over civil, criminal, administrative, labor, and commercial disputes arising in the following eight administrative divisions:
Di An City: Di An, Dong Hoa, An Phu, Tan Dong Hiep
Thuan An City: Central Thuan An, Thuan Giao, Binh Hoa, Lai Thieu
From the date the new court model becomes operational, all disputes arising in the above areas will be handled by the People’s Court of Zone 16, replacing the previous local courts.
3. Legal Notes When Filing a Case at the People’s Court of Zone 16 (Di An – Thuan An)
To ensure that your case is promptly accepted and processed correctly, individuals and businesses should take note of the following:
- Accurately identify whether the dispute’s location falls within the jurisdiction of Zone 16
- Choose the correct type of petition or application using the proper standardized form
- Clearly classify the nature of the dispute (e.g., land, labor, commercial contracts, administrative matters, etc.)
- Prepare complete supporting documents: contracts, certificates, violation reports, invoices, transaction emails, ID papers, etc.
In highly industrial and urbanized areas such as Di An and Thuan An, common disputes include:
contractual disputes (sales/services), factory leasing, labor/social insurance conflicts, and land disputes involving residential and zoned planning areas.
