For this trial.
The difficulty had never been how to argue the case in court, or how to reach a ruling in this trial.
Because from the standpoint of establishing the facts and the corresponding laws and regulations.
Had the defendants-Industry and Commerce, Health, food inspection, and the Reconsideration Department-failed to act?
Under the relevant provisions of administrative law, failure to act was defined as not handling a matter, delaying its handling, or giving no response.
These were all legally prescribed interpretations of failure to act.

That could be established through the relevant facts and evidence.

The defendant departments had already failed to follow up on Dafa Supermarket and the matters under reconsideration in accordance with the complainant's requests and the relevant laws and regulations.
Starting with Industry and Commerce, it had clearly engaged in such conduct.

"The court will now adjourn."
