【Caixin Media】 As the regulatory and judicial authorities continue to intensify their crackdown on financial fraud in the capital markets, in recent years a large number of listed companies’ financial fraud has been uncovered. At the same time, the pre-filing procedures for securities misrepresentation have been abolished, the case-filing threshold has been lowered, and this has directly driven a sharp increase in the number of related claims cases.

On March 31, the Shanghai Financial Court issued the “Shanghai Financial Court Case-Trying Work Status Report (2025)” (hereinafter referred to as the “Report”) and the top ten typical cases of the Shanghai Financial Court for 2024. The Report discloses that in 2025 the Shanghai Financial Court accepted 9,485 cases of various types of financial disputes, with the total amount in dispute for the year standing at RMB 214.63 billion. Among them, disputes over liability arising from securities misrepresentation exceeded disputes over financial loan contracts, becoming the case type with the highest number of filings.
