喺法庭開審時，訴訟雙方都冇權聽審，聽證亦唔須證人到場，而採用文字去傳達，形同祕密審判。訴訟雙方並冇一般普通法法庭所認可嘅權利，亦冇設陪審團，一切係聽法官嘅心證。而法庭係有各種刑罰同刑求嘅權限，但冇包死刑。
At the beginning of the trial, neither party has the right to hear the case, and the hearing does not require the presence of witnesses, but is conveyed in writing, which is like a secret trial. The parties do not have the rights recognised by the ordinary common law courts, nor do they have a jury, but the judge's testimony is heard. The court has the authority to impose various penalties and tortures, but it does not include the death penalty.
