Judicial auction refers to the procedure where people's courts, during the enforcement of civil cases, autonomously or through commissioned auction companies publicly dispose of debtors' properties according to legal processes to repay creditor claims. Courts may auction legally seized or confiscated vehicles when defendants lack funds to repay debts, when courts inventory defendants' assets as requested by plaintiffs, or when vehicles serve as criminal instruments that courts lawfully confiscate and subsequently auction.
The Vehicle Judicial Auction Data from CnOpenData encompasses four transportation categories: motor vehicles, ships, aircraft, and other transportation means, structured into four key tables: Basic Vehicle Information Table, Bidding Information Record Table, Auction Announcement Table, and Subject Matter Information Table. These datasets cover critical fields including court name(法院名称), province(省份), current price(当前价格), starting bid(起拍价), forced sale price(变卖价), market value(市场价), number of registered participants/observers(报名/围观人数), auction start/end time(拍卖开始/结束时间), payment methods(支付方式), contact person(联系人), and subject matter details(标的物信息), providing robust data support for related research.
