Case
Is the following clear? If not, edit it please:
Meanwhile, Haikou's zoning was adjusted, and the former Qiongshan was annexed into Haikou City. On March 18, 2003, Qiongshan District People's Procuratorate, of Haikou City, transferred the case to Haikou People's Procuratorate. HPP, on August 7 the same year, once again made a public prosecution against Mr Lu to Haikou Middle People's Court. On Oct 29, HMPC sentenced Mr Lu to twelve years' imprisonment with deprivation of the political rights for four additional years, and simultaneously imposed him a fine of 3000 yuan.
Mr Lu appealed against the judge's decision. On December 10, Hainan High People's Court sent the case back to HMPC, on the grounds the HMPC's judgment was unsubstantiated with unclear facts. So HMPC needed a retrial.

-- you have GOT to find another word instead of 'procurator/procuratorate'-- it is ghastly: archaic and unfamiliar, surviving only in the Church and in eastern Europe. I suggest 'Administrator' or 'Financial Administrator' or 'Administrative Officer' or 'Financial Officer'.

Your editing is very cool. But all Chinese official departments have decided to use "procuratorate", like "Supreme People's Procuratorate" (See English in the banner in its website:

I wish your federal government had spoken to me before they rushed into this nomenclature. As you can see from the USA Today search, 'procuratorate' produces no hits at all, and 'procurator' produces specialized ecclesiastical and legal associations, as I suggested.
Oh well, there is no use crying over spilt milk. Much greater anomalies have been created in Japlish.

But if Chinese government sticks to the misuse, it will finally enter English vocabulary, because English is so open-minded.
