Xincheng Construction Company submitted the Notification of Award, two copies of Construction Project Construction Contract, commencement report, foundation and main structure acceptance report and other evidence to prove that the contractor of the Construction Project Construction Contract in this case is Xincheng Construction Company, not Qiu Xiaojun.

The court of first instance held that Xincheng Construction Company has no direct interest in the case, which is obviously inconsistent with the facts, and found the facts wrong.

Tianle Real Estate Company, in violation of the contract, settles with Qiu Xiaojun without authorization and makes payment to him, which clearly constitutes a breach of contract.

According to Article 1 of the Interpretation of Construction Contract Disputes, the contractor who has signed the construction contract of the construction project as the counterpart of the contract, regardless of the lending qualification or other reasons, only involves the determination of the contract invalidity, and there is no restrictive provision that the contract letting party cannot be sued because of the lending qualification and the settlement of the project payment.

The domicile is located at the east of 10 meters north of the intersection of Tongyun Road and Da’an Street, Donglu Street Office, Xin County, Liaocheng City, Shandong Province.

On the premise that the Contractor actively sues the Employer, the relativity of the contract shall not be breached.

The trial of this case has now been concluded.

The court of first instance found that “Xincheng Construction Company illegally lent its qualification, did not participate in the construction, and had no legal rights and interests in the contract involved in the case”, which was inconsistent with the facts, and the fact was wrong.

The actual constructor can only apply when the contractor should settle without settlement or does not claim rights on the settlement of the project funds, or does not exercise or delay in exercising the due creditor’s rights, and the actual constructor sues the employer to break through the relativity of the contract.

The court of first instance dismissed the lawsuit of Xincheng Construction Company on the basis of the plaintiff subject’s disqualification, without facts and legal basis.

(2) The court of first instance applied the law wrongly.

Legal representative: Zhao Daoyin, executive director and general manager of the company.

The relevant effective judgment of the project involved in the case confirmed that due to the project involved in the case owed to others, a number of serial lawsuits have been triggered, and the relevant court decided that Xincheng Construction Company should bear the repayment responsibility for the relevant arrears of the project involved in the case.

Xincheng Construction Company applied for retrial according to the provisions of Item 2 and Item 6 of Article 200 of the Civil Procedure Law of the People’s Republic of China (before amendment), and requested to cancel the civil ruling (2020) Lu 15 Min Chu No.

Legal representative: Li Hongsheng, executive director and general manager of the company.

According to the judicial interpretation and guidance of the Supreme Court, it is conditional for the actual constructor to break through the relativity of the contract.

Qiu Xiaojun is not the subject of the contract involved in the case, and cannot set contract rights for him.

Even if Article 43 of the interpretation stipulates that the actual constructor can break through the relativity of the contract and sue the employer, subcontractor and illegal subcontractor, it does not deny the contractor’s right to sue based on the contract.

Unless otherwise stipulated by law, the principle of contract relativity shall be strictly followed.

In this case, there is no case that Xincheng Construction Company, as the contractor, is lazy to claim the project payment from the Employer.
