Judicial auction refers to the procedure wherein people's courts, during the enforcement of civil cases, either autonomously conduct or entrust auction companies to publicly dispose of a debtor's property to satisfy creditor claims. Courts auction vehicles lawfully seized or confiscated—typically when defendants lack funds to repay debts, prompting courts to inventory defendants' assets per plaintiffs' requests and seize or confiscate their vehicles ex officio, or when vehicles serve as instruments of crime and are confiscated by law.
