Chapter 150: Three Words, On What Basis?!

Su Bai looked at the materials organized by Li Xuezhen and slightly frowned.

Immediately afterward, he looked again at the private messages and comments left under Baijun law Firm’s short video account by that prospective client.

Lawyer Su.
Lawyer Su, you are a good lawyer.
I beg you to look at my case.
Our family bought an apartment in Nandu Xiushui Garden three years ago, and at that time the price of the apartment was still acceptable
But we did not expect that the apartment, which our whole family emptied our savings for and for which we still owed the bank more than two million yuan, would simply become an unfinished project!
Now that real estate boss is eating well and drinking well, driving luxury cars, and living in a luxury house.
But our whole family, old and young, has to repay the mortgage, and we have to repay 5,800 yuan a month!
Our family.
We have already looked for lawyers, but there is no way, truly no way, other lawyers are unwilling to take our lawsuit anymore.
Lawyer Su, we want to beg you to help us. Could you think of a way for us? We will pay legal fees.
Lawyer Su, if you see this, can you reply to us?

This client sent dozens of comments and private messages in total.

The time started from six days ago.

And continued until today, with comments throughout the period.

The times were roughly all between two and three in the afternoon.

However, in recent days the comments on Baijun law Firm’s short video account had increased greatly.

Wanting to search them out to prove the client’s posted comments was still relatively troublesome.

After finishing reading this prospective client’s comments and messages, Su Bai let out a long breath.

Unfinished buildings.

Tsk tsk.

According to what the prospective client said, he bought the apartment three years ago, and up to now delivery had still not been made.

A period of three years was not short.

The specific delivery date was not mentioned by the prospective client.

He only said that they had appealed, but the court considered that this matter ought to be privately mediated, and then it had been under mediation all along.

Obviously, the specific delivery date had long since passed.

Afterward, because the prospective client truly would not accept mediation, a hearing was held in the Nandu Intermediate Court.

At the first instance, the real estate company lost the lawsuit.

But the real estate company then filed a second instance appeal, and at the second instance the prospective client lost.

The prospective client’s claims in the first instance were unknown.

The specific circumstances of why the second instance was lost were also unclear.

If the case continued to be litigated, it could only be litigated up to the Supreme People’s Court.

Su Bai rubbed his temples, this prospective client had spoken too vaguely, and he did not understand the specific circumstances very well at all.

Based on the current circumstances, this case could not yet be assessed.

So he turned on his phone and searched for Nandu Xiushui Garden.

Good fellow, it was full of curses!

Return the money! At the beginning you spoke so well, saying it was the highest quality real estate in Nandu, we bought it at a high price, we bought it with loans, we emptied our wallets to buy it! It was precisely so that we could live in a home, and now the delivery date has long arrived and it still cannot be delivered! Return the money!

Exactly!

We still owe the bank several million, now we cannot live in the apartment, and every month we still have to repay so much money, we simply cannot go on living, my wife is now making a fuss about divorcing me, and my child also blames me, I do not want this apartment anymore, can you return the money to me!

If you will not return the money, can you at least finish building the apartment and deliver it? What exactly are you doing now? You are just swindling money, right?

Our family has the elderly above and the young below, and we emptied several wallets, and the apartment we bought has simply become an unfinished project, why does the developer not give us an explanation, why?!

Damn! The real estate boss drives luxury cars and lives in a luxury house every day, leaving us homeless, does your conscience not hurt?

Heh heh. Their conscience hurts? They do not have any conscience at all!!

They are all bastards!!

These purchasers of apartments in the Nandu Xiushui Garden residential complex cursed the developer quite fiercely.

However, when the developer leaves an unfinished project and runs away, causing others to shoulder so much debt all at once, being cursed is well deserved.

Su Bai exited the search interface and lightly exhaled.

Now it seemed that the purchasers in the Nandu Xiushui Garden residential complex harbored deep resentment in their hearts.

It was only that.

For this kind of unfinished building, generally speaking, purchasers faced only two points of demand regarding the unfinished project.

The first point was to demand compensation from the developer.

The second point was to demand that the developer properly complete the project, that is, deliver it.

But if one wanted to realize either of the above two points, both were very difficult.

If litigation were conducted on the basis of these two points, victory would certainly be possible.

But after winning, then what?

The developer would pat his backside and say one sentence: I have no money.

…you would have no way at all to recover the money.

Even worse, it might directly lead to the real estate company and the boss himself no longer having any legal connection.

This was the important difficulty for the majority of claimants in unfinished building cases.

As for the second point, it was to have the developer continue development and make delivery.

Obviously.

If the developer had the ability to continue development and make delivery, he would certainly choose delivery.

The key point was.

The project was already unfinished, and unless a large amount of capital was injected, delivery would be impossible.

But in reality, most of the reason it became unfinished was that the economic dispute relationships were excessively complicated.

No one was willing to take over, resulting in a long term unfinished project.

Therefore the difficulty in this kind of unfinished building lawsuit lay in these two points.

Winning the lawsuit was not difficult, what was difficult was how to complete the client’s litigation request after winning.

That is to say, how to recover the original purchase price or allow the building to continue construction.

Su Bai rubbed the center of his brow, this case truly was a complicated case.

It belonged to a typical case among civil disputes.

Seeing this, Li Xuezhen beside him spoke softly: “Lawyer Su. Is this case very difficult to fight?”

Su Bai slightly raised his head and said: “It is not very difficult to fight, it is very troublesome, because there are somewhat many areas involved, and there are also many things that need to be prepared for the hearing.”

“But there is one advantage.”

“If our law firm takes this case, it will certainly establish our reputation in civil litigation, thereby further expanding the reputation of our law firm.”

“At that time our law firm will become a top law firm in Nandu in both criminal and civil matters.”

“As for this case, it is necessary to further ask the client about the specific circumstances of the case.”

“However, the most troublesome part is to complete the client’s demands, namely, to make the developer continue construction of the buildings, or to refund and compensate the purchasers.”

“Wanting to achieve these two demands is the most troublesome part.”

“Do you understand?”

“Oh.”

“So that is how it is, Lawyer Su.”

“Lawyer Su, what you mean is that continuing and finishing the construction of this residential complex would count as completing the client’s entrustment, right?”

A flash of light burst forth in Li Xuezhen’s eyes.

Su Bai rubbed the center of his brow.

According to what Li Xuezhen said, indeed finishing the construction of this residential complex would count as completing the client’s entrustment.

But it was to have the developer use the proper construction funds to fully complete the residential complex and make delivery.

And not other strange ideas.

Su Bai saw it at a glance, this little rich woman Li Xuezhen seemed to have the idea of taking over the entire residential complex project?

As expected, a little rich woman was indeed a little rich woman, even her thought process was different.

Cough cough.

Su Bai dryly coughed once: “As lawyers, we use the law to make those developers complete the development of the residential complex, or to complete the client’s entrustment through litigation claims in court.”

“And not through other aspects.”

“Do you understand?”

“Oh.”

“Okay Lawyer Su, I understand.”

Li Xuezhen nodded seriously.

“Then Lawyer Su, are we taking this case?”

Looking at Li Xuezhen’s expression, Su Bai temporarily let out a sigh of relief.

“Take it, arrange a time with the prospective client and have them come directly to our law firm to discuss the specific circumstances.”

“Okay Lawyer Su.”

Li Xuezhen nodded and walked out of the office with tapping sounds.

After Li Xuezhen left the office, Su Bai drank a sip of tea.

Feeling the tea flow into his throat.

Su Bai’s consciousness became clearer.

After putting the teacup on the table, he sat in the office chair.

This time, if this unfinished building case could be resolved, then for their Baijun law Firm it would undoubtedly be a tremendous improvement.

It was just that.

This kind of case involved many aspects and was somewhat troublesome.

As for the specifics, it was still necessary to talk more with the client.

Only then could it be further determined how litigation should be carried out in order to satisfy the litigant’s litigation demands.

At the same time.

In an urban village in Nandu, inside a certain shared rental room.

A mere fifty square meters (≈538 sq ft) held a family of four.

“Dad. Stop sending them. I have already told you many times, Lawyer Su is a criminal lawyer, while ours is a civil dispute case, no matter how many messages you send him, he cannot handle our matter.”

“Look, you have sent messages for so many days, has he replied? I already told you that it is a criminal law firm, although it also handles civil disputes, they will not take this kind of complicated civil dispute.”

“Besides, how many lawyers have we asked? Other lawyers have all said that this kind of case is very difficult to handle, so stop wasting effort.”

A man of twenty seven or twenty eight looked at his nearly sixty year old father before him and spoke with a deep sigh.

When Ma Cheng heard the words of persuasion from his son, he instantly became anxious.

“You are still so young, what do you understand? There is no case Lawyer Su cannot handle!”

“We should ask him more, ask more lawyers, I do not believe that we cannot recover our money, we borrowed so much money in loans and repay so much every month, what, are we just repaying it for nothing?”

“Lawyer Su is a criminal lawyer, just right to send that developer, the real estate boss of our Xiushui Garden, in!”

“So that he will not continue harming people!”

“Was it easy for our family to buy a home? You say forget it and then it is forgotten?”

Ma Cheng’s eyes had reddened with anxiety, and he berated his son Ma Xiangzhi.

At that time their family had emptied several wallets in order to buy this apartment.

They had even taken on debt.

Was that not money?

Fine, now there was no apartment, and every month they still had to repay nearly 6,000 yuan of outside debt.

How much did he earn in a month only by working bitterly and laboring to exhaustion?

If the matter of the apartment could not be resolved, he would not be reconciled even in death!

Three words, on what basis?

On what basis had his family spent so much money and in the end received nothing?

With one light and drifting sentence of unfinished project, was that all!?

Nonsense!

He simply did not believe that the law could not return justice to him!

Ma Cheng’s face was filled with anger, and whenever this matter was brought up he became exceptionally furious, even to the point that on many nights when he thought of it, he could not sleep for whole nights.

That was not dozens or hundreds of yuan, but millions, blood and sweat money that he could not earn in an entire lifetime.

On what basis could it not be recovered?!

Seeing his old father so angry, Ma Xiangzhi drew a deep breath.

Knowing that at this time persuasion was useless, he could only silently sigh in his heart.

There was no way.

Was it that he did not want to recover their compensation through court litigation?

It was that he knew it simply could not be recovered.

These years, because of this one apartment, their family had lived a life in which they did not dare eat and did not dare drink, and it could be said that life was very hard.

His father did not understand the law, nor did he understand anything else.

A few days ago, he saw online that Lawyer Su Bai of Baijun law Firm could win any lawsuit he fought.

So he wanted to go to Baijun law Firm to fight the lawsuit.

He believed that through litigation he could recover either his apartment or his purchase price.

However.

Ma Xiangzhi had gone to many law firms and asked many lawyers, and regarding this matter, he truly did not hold much hope.

Moreover, he also clearly knew that this Baijun law Firm was a top criminal law firm in Nandu.

Their case was only a civil lawsuit.

And moreover it was a very difficult unfinished real estate case among civil litigation disputes.

Whether it could be won was one matter, whether the money could be recovered was one matter, and whether they were willing to take or not take this case was yet another matter.

Thinking of this, Ma Xiangzhi slightly shook his head.

He stood up, just preparing first to pour himself a cup of water, and then pour a cup for Ma Cheng to calm him down.

Then he saw Ma Cheng holding the phone with both hands, and on his aged and wrinkled face appeared a long absent and rare smile.

“He replied to me!”

“Lawyer Su replied to me!!”

Ma Xiangzhi froze for a moment: “Dad? You posted comments and sent private messages on that Baijun law Firm account, and they replied to you?”

“What did they say?”

Ma Xiangzhi asked a follow up question.

Ma Cheng stood up, hurriedly drank a mouthful of water, and then laughed loudly as he spoke.

“Lawyer Su said that he can take this case, and we can go directly to Baijun law Firm to discuss what exactly is going on with this case.

Lawyer Su said he can understand it in detailed and concrete terms, and if there is no problem, he can take on the entrustment for this case.”

At the side, Ma Cheng’s wife revealed a smile on her face: “That is wonderful!”

“I saw online that Lawyer Su has never lost a lawsuit, this time he definitely will not lose either.”

“That is right! I also saw that Lawyer Su even sent those lawbreakers in, this time he will definitely be able to send them in too!”

“That would be best of all!”

The husband and wife smiled as they discussed it.

When Ma Xiangzhi heard that Su Bai was willing to take this case, a trace of expectation also arose in his heart.

If they truly could win the lawsuit, that would be wonderful!
