The judgment of the first instance stated: “the total amount of the above-mentioned trust principal and trust income is 317133333333 yuan. In the event that the balance replenishment agreement is invalid, the court decides that Xinchao company, Zoje resources company and de’ao company shall be liable for compensation for half of the debts of Huaxiang company within the range of 158566666667 yuan respectively.” In this judgment, The provisions cited in the judgment of first instance are Article 7 of the interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues concerning the application of the guarantee law of the people’s Republic of China: “If the main contract is valid but the guarantee contract is invalid, the creditor and the guarantor shall bear corresponding civil liability according to their respective faults. If both the creditor and the guarantor are at fault, the part of the guarantor bearing civil liability shall not exceed one-half of the part that the debtor cannot pay off”.
The judgment of the first instance stated that “in this case, Guangzhou Rural Commercial Bank… Xinchao company, Zoje resources company and de’ao company… Are all at fault and should bear part of the responsibility.” In this case, Guangzhou rural commercial bank is the creditor and three listed companies are the guarantors.
