Which civil lawsuits require two Judges and three People’s Jurors to participate in Vietnam?

Pursuant to Article 63 of the 2015 Civil Procedure Code, panel for first-instance trial over civil lawsuits is as follows:

The panel for first-instance trial over civil lawsuits shall be composed of one Judge and two People’s Jurors, except for cases specified in Article 65 of this Code. In special cases, the first-instance trial panel may consist of two Judges and three People’s Jurors.

If the case involves minor people, People’s Jurors being people who are working at Communist Youth Union of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Women’s Union, family affair authorities, children affair authorities must participate in the first-instance trial panel.

Regarding labor cases, People’s Jurors being people who have worked or are working in a employee collective’s representative organization or people having knowledge in labor law shall participate in the first instance trial panel.

Thus, for civil lawsuits in Vietnam, two judges and three people's jurors are not required to participate, but in special cases, there may be two judges and three jurors mentioned above.
