In accordance with Item 4 of Article 119, item 3 of paragraph 1 of Article 154 of the Civil Procedure Law of the people’s Republic of China and Article 11 of the provisions of the Supreme People’s Court on several issues involving suspicion of economic crimes in the trial of economic dispute cases According to the third paragraph of Article 208 of the interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court on the application of the Civil Procedure Law of the people’s Republic of China, the ruling is as follows: reject the lawsuit of Rizhao Shenghui Automobile Sales Service Co., Ltd. If you are not satisfied with this ruling, you can submit a petition to the people’s Court of Longquanyi District of Chengdu within 10 days from the date of service of the ruling and appeal to the intermediate people’s Court of Chengdu. On March 11, 2021, the company obtained the subpoena of Chengdu Intermediate People’s Court of Sichuan Province ((2021) Chuan 01 min Zhong No. 6674). The plaintiff Rizhao Shenghui Automobile Sales Service Co., Ltd. appealed against the first instance judgment of Chengdu Longquanyi District People’s court. The court session was held at 13:30 on March 23, 2021.

The main contents are as follows: in the afternoon of March 23, 2021, the intermediate people’s court of Chengdu, Sichuan Province organized a second instance hearing, The company appoints Beijing Anbo (Chengdu) lawyer 2 / Tibet Development Co.Ltd(000752)

The lawyer of the firm attended the trial. After the court investigation (including the parties’ statement, proof and cross examination), court debate and final statement, the company appointed a lawyer to put forward to the court: 1. The appellant Rizhao Shenghui Automobile Sales Service Co., Ltd. obtained the bill involved in the case through bill discount, and the appellant is not a legal holder; 2. According to the available evidence, it is sufficient to determine that Wang Chengbo, the then legal representative of Tibet development and Wu Gang, the director of Tibet development, took advantage of Tibet development to commit a series of economic crimes. The bills involved in the case are not economic dispute cases but suspected of economic crimes; 3. According to Article 11 of the provisions of the Supreme People’s Court on several issues involving the suspicion of economic crimes in the trial of economic dispute cases, if the people’s court accepts a case as an economic dispute and believes that it is not an economic dispute case but is suspected of economic crimes, it shall rule to reject the prosecution and transfer the relevant materials to the public security organ or inspection organ.

Therefore, The court of first instance only based on Tibet development’s statement that “the acceptance bill issued in the dispute in this case may fall within the scope of criminal crimes committed by Wang Chengbo and others”, and determined that this case is not an economic dispute case and is improperly suspected of economic crimes, and this court shall correct it according to law. According to Article 10 of the provisions of the Supreme People’s Court on several issues involving the suspicion of economic crimes in the trial of economic dispute cases “In the trial of economic dispute cases, if the people’s court finds the clues and materials of economic crime suspected of being involved in the case but not having the same legal relationship with the case, it shall transfer the clues and materials of crime suspected to the relevant public security organ or procuratorial organ for investigation and punishment, and the trial of economic dispute cases shall continue”, the case shall continue to be tried by the court of first instance. In conclusion, the plaintiff’s appeal of Rizhao Shenghui Automobile Sales Service Co., Ltd. is established and should be supported. The first instance ruling rejected the plaintiff’s improper prosecution, and the court corrected it. According to Article 171 of the Civil Procedure Law of the people’s Republic of China and article 332 of the interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court on the application of the Civil Procedure Law of the people’s Republic of China, the ruling is as follows: 1.
