Because the cause for the housing project's failure ultimately lies with these three entities, this bla ga always results in an outco.
He quickly prepared another complaint and reorganized the previous evidence according to procedure; Old Tang headed straight for the Guangming District Court.
Ten minutes later, Old Tang arrived at the filing chamber, where he first collected the adjudication. Then he went straight to the window.
The staff mber glanced at him and said, "Lawyer Tang, your last case was dismissed. Is this the sa one?"
"Yes, but I've changed the defendants. Please review it carefully again."
The staff took it and looked over it: civil litigation with three defendants—a bank, a developer, and the housing authority of the Bright District...
Watching the staff mber, Old Tang smiled professionally, "This ti it should be up for review again. Last ti it was an administrative procedure, and you said my choice of defendant was ineligible. Now that it's been changed to a civil procedure, it should be acceptable, right?"
"This, this one is complex. We do indeed need to review it again..." the staff hesitated.
"No problem!" Old Tang waved his hand and said, "I have ti, I can wait. But if you still don't file the case this ti, then I will appeal."
"Even if I have to appeal to the Supre Court, I must clarify this matter, otherwise, if we encounter a similar situation in the future, we won't be able to file a case, right? How can we file a lawsuit without being able to do so?"
"Alright, I'll be going then, I'll wait for your notice at ho."
This ti, he made it clear, waiting to see exactly why the Bright District would not file the case. If the reason was legal, fine, since it had already been converted to civil litigation, there would no longer be an issue of defendant ineligibility.
But if they still refused to file the case, then it would indicate that the reason was not legal.
At that mont, an administrative appeal could be made directly to the higher court, which is a unique aspect of administrative litigation, presumably understandable to all.
If the higher court still disagrees, then he would continue to escalate the issue. If all legal avenues were blocked, then it would be ti to utilize the power of public opinion, given the courts are the last line of defense.
You always have to clarify what to do when you encounter such issues, right.
The lights in the filing chamber stayed on all night, along with the participation of the court leaders...
The next morning, Old Tang received a phone call. The Guangming District Court made a decision to accept the case!
Striking while the iron was hot, Old Tang went to the court again. He wanted to request a judicial appraisal of the financial transactions between Li Shuwei, Jin Ma Company, and Yinfei Company by the People's Court. |em|p|yr.
And also, the amount of money that Li Shuwei could return.
With that figure, actual requests for litigation could be quantified. Otherwise, picking a random number, what would he do if his side didn't have enough money, and the houses still couldn't be delivered?
The economic investigation departnt was wool-pulled again, but this still had to wait, needing to wait until the case entered the review and prosecution stage, and all the evidence was fixed and clarified before the court could proceed with the investigation.
It was another waiting period, but Old Tang was used to it by now.
Finally, the case of Li Shuwei embezzling funds entered the review and prosecution phase. The court knew the approximate amount—thirty-eight million plus—and based on this figure, Old Tang specified corresponding liability claims.
The developer was responsible for fifty-six percent, the bank for thirty-four percent, and the housing authority for ten percent. Perfect.

At the Tidal Road branch of Jingzhou Bank, Manager Zhang's recent days had slowly beco more relaxed.
He hadn't expected that after Tang Fangjing berated him for so long last ti, it ultimately did not beco public.
Honestly, for such behavior, he really had no idea what the other party was thinking, but the lack of exposure ant that the headquarters and the local financial supervision bureau could deal with it directly.
The internal penalty wasn't particularly serious, coming down just yesterday, and Manager Zhang felt as if he'd been reborn.
Anyway, since the situation had been dealt with, there would normally not be anything further; a double penalty is improbable.
As for anything else, he really didn't think there would be anything. There were too many instances of banks being blad for incomplete developnts due to lax regulations, and you never see those instances where the bank actually takes responsibility.
However, just as he sat down in his office, the bank president called.
"Alright, President, I'll be right there!"
He hung up the phone and hurried to the president's office, only to find the president's face looked fouler than anything.
"What's wrong, President, what happened now?"
"We've been sued again!" Yao Yuehua, with a dark face, threw a bunch of docunts out.
Sued again? It's not rare for the bank to be a defendant, could it be...
Manager Zhang hurriedly picked up the docunts and was shocked as he looked at them, becoming even more astounded as he continued to read the complaint.
"President, what's this about? Could the court actually accept these demands?" Manager Zhang said with a face full of horror.
Eighty million, with the bank clearly being the main party at fault for the improper lending practices, this had already been a point of contention with the housing authority.
And now, the regulatory responsibility might not necessarily be considered a direct cause of the property developnt failure, but the improper lending was another matter...
Yao Yuehua, with a dark face, said, "No matter how you look at it, the issue now is that the court has accepted the case and has sent us a summons. What do we do, what do you suggest?"
Manager Zhang, mouth agape, didn't know what to say. This case would definitely beco a focal point of public interest, and by then, it wouldn't be just about being exposed in the dia.
The improper lending essentially ant that they and the developer were in cahoots; otherwise, why would the bank give out loans in violation of regulations.
"What about Li Shuwei, he's also a defendant, shall we contact him right away?" Manager Zhang said hastily.
