The names of individuals or organizations who fail to fulfil court-ordered obligations, such as paying debts in a timely manner, will be published online, the supreme court declared on Tuesday.

Any party that fails to perform their legal duty within six months or tries to transfer, conceal, sell or damage the property involved, will be listed on the court's official website (www.chinacourt.org).

The court is required to notify the lax party or parties before the list is made public.

If the debt is paid off or a recognized warranty is produced within 15 days after notification, the name or names will not be listed on the site, reports Beijing Evening Post.
