Case brief
Shandong Weihai Rushan Zhengtai Stone Co., Ltd. v. Rushan Wantong Real Estate Co., Ltd. contract dispute retrial case
Application for retrial of contract dispute between Shandong Weihai Rushan Zhengtai Stone Co., Ltd. and Rushan Wantong Property Co., Ltd.
Rushan Wantong Real Estate Co., Ltd. (the "Customer") and Rushan Chint Stone Co., Ltd. (the "Plaintiff") signed an Entrustment Contract, stipulating that the Plaintiff shall handle 50 mu of state-owned land certificates for Rushan Yintan Silver Plot (the "Plot") for the client, and if the client needs it, the Plaintiff shall continue to handle the remaining 38.05 mu of land certificates for the client, and the client shall pay a fee of 46.67 million yuan for the land certificate for the plot, which shall be guaranteed by the Rushan Yintan Seaview Yuntian Real Estate Project (the "Project") under the client's name.
Later, there was a dispute between the two parties due to the payment of the balance of 26 million yuan. The plaintiff sued the court and requested the customer to pay the balance of 26 million yuan and more than 14 million yuan in liquidated damages. The case was first tried by the Intermediate People's Court of Weihai City, Shandong Province, and the second-instance of the Higher People's Court of Shandong Province, and the customer lost the case.
After losing the case, the case quickly entered the execution stage, and the client's 99 properties were seized and faced auction and sale. In such a difficult situation, the client decided to change his lawyer and instead entrusted the legal team of Zhang Zhengqian of
to represent the case for retrial.
After much research and judgment, the lawyers handling the case of Zhang Zhengqian found that the plaintiff Rushan Chint Stone Co., Ltd. had a loophole in the qualification of the litigation subject, and used it as a "breakthrough point" to apply for a retrial and apply for a suspension of execution. In the end, the retrial was successfully started, the original and second-instance judgments were revoked, 99 properties were exempted from auction, and the customer's problem was satisfactorily resolved.
From accepting the commission in November 2022 to revoking the original first- and second-instance judgment in April 2023, the entire process took less than half a year, which was professional and efficient.
This is a typical case of turning defeat into victory, which is of exemplary significance. Before
accepted the commission of this case, no one doubted the qualification of Rushan Chint Stone Co., Ltd. as the subject of litigation, which is usually easily overlooked. Lawyers handling the case in Zhang Zhengqian's team said: Lawyers must have unique vision in the process of handling the proceedings and must be able to find the "breakthrough point", because most proceedings have more than one important "breakthrough point". Only by finding the "breakthrough point" can they attack accurately and make a successful move.
The case received a "Remarkable" rating.

Case brief
Hong and Wei company labor dispute case
Labour dispute revolving around blank contracts
The employee (customer) is a professional manager. Before entering the job, the legal representative of the employer and the employee signed an employment contract with a guaranteed annual salary of 1 million yuan, but in the three years after entering the job, the employer HR required the employee to sign three blank employment contracts (one signed every year). After the worker leaves, the two sides dispute because of the annual bonus and salary standards.
After applying for labor arbitration, the laborer realized that there were many difficulties in this case, so he entrusted lawyer Zhou Yanjun of
to represent the case.
After lawyer Zhou Yanjun accepted the commission, there are three difficulties in summarizing the case. First, the employer denies the authenticity of the employment contract signed by the legal representative and the laborer, and proposes that the employment contract signed before entering the job (not yet resigned from the previous unit) is invalid. There is a dispute over which employment contract shall prevail for the laborer's labor compensation.
The second is that the employment contract signed by the laborer every year after entering the HR office is blank (the employer supplements the handwriting in the blank after the laborer applies for arbitration, and wants to prove that all the compensation of the laborer has been paid in full). How to identify the handwritten content can achieve the purpose of proof.
Third, after graduating from college, workers have been working for more than 20 years and have changed multiple jobs. How to prove the number of years a worker has worked continuously is also a key issue to consider.
The main work of lawyer Zhou Yanjun has three points: First, after many understandings and in-depth thinking, the identification matters are determined, and it is required to appraise whether the handwritten part of the three employment contracts is formed at the same time, rather than directly appraising the formation time of the handwritten part; second, collect and prepare more complete evidence to prove that the laborers have been working continuously since graduating from university in the 1990 s, without any interruption, and lay the foundation for the annual leave salary; third, which employment contract submitted by both parties is the true meaning of both parties, and which employment contract is performed. Finally, the court adopted the agent's opinion and supported all the laborers' claims I am very satisfied with my work.
This case won"Remarkable (Excellent) "Rating.
Case brief
Lin v. Wang and other applicants' appeal for execution objection
Lin v. Wang and other applicants for the implementation of the objection
Wang and others (the "client") are shareholders of a robot startup enterprise (the "company"). After multiple rounds of financing, the company has been unable to successfully realize the refund of project funds, and eventually the working capital broke and the company was unable to repay the company's debts. Lin, the creditor of the company (the "applicant for execution"), believes that Wang and other shareholders have not fully fulfilled their obligation to subscribe to the company's registered capital, so they need to bear supplementary liability for the company's debts for the difference.
Therefore, Lin filed an execution objection lawsuit with the court, demanding that Wang and other shareholders be added as the executors, and Wang and others entrusted lawyer Zhou Yanjun of
to handle the case.
The case is extremely complex, the company's shareholders and capital have changed many times, through the original shareholder transfer of equity exit, multiple mutual transfer of equity within shareholders, multiple financing to introduce institutional investors, capital increase and capital reduction, capital provident fund to increase capital, shareholders divorce split equity, intangible asset investment and other situations.
Zhou's team of lawyers went deep into the company's evidence collection, retrieved and sorted out the company's previous changes in registered capital, shareholder equity transfer, and previous monetary investment statements, providing detailed materials and statistical tables for the calculation and confirmation of the actual investment amount of Wang and other shareholders.
In this case, the company's investment forms are diverse, and there are major disputes between the two parties on the conversion of capital provident fund to capital, the time of investment of intangible assets, the evaluation amount, and whether to complete the investment procedures. To this end, Zhou's team of lawyers communicated with clients, deeply understood the company's investment process and carried out standardized and effective sorting, and carefully prepared the requirements and procedures for the conversion of capital provident fund to registered capital and intangible asset investment.
Due to the serious and responsible pre-trial preparations of Zhou's lawyer team, the court finally adopted the opinion of Zhiheng's client during the trial, finding that Wang and other shareholders had fully invested and did not have to bear any responsibility for the company's debts.
The professional and efficient work of Zhou's lawyer team has safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of Zhiheng's clients. This case has laid a good foundation for the subsequent series of cases in which other creditors of the company apply for additional shareholder liability, which is of great significance to the company and its clients. Zhiheng lawyer has won high praise from clients
