The Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) has recently released the Circular on Issuing the Typical Cases of Civil Prosecutorial Supervision Involving Real Estate Disputes (the "Circular").
According to the Circular, six cases are provided, including the series cases of prosecution and settlement involving a dispute over a commercial housing pre-sale contract between 71 owners including Zhang X. and X. Real Estate Development Co. Ltd., in Anshun City, Guizhou Province, and the civil prosecution and settlement case involving a dispute over the invalidity of contract between Sun X. and Hengshui X. Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. For each case, the basic case facts and its significance as a typical case, along with other information, are given. As part of the special action for the procuratorial organs to safeguard people's livelihood, these cases focus on the issues under supervision that frequently occur, including "the sale of one house to two buyers", "delayed handling of title deed", and "adjustment of liquidated damages". They demonstrate the essence of this special action, in which the procuratorial organs should lawfully and actively perform the procuratorial duties to substantively settle disputes and continuously provide the people with the benefits that can feel, experience, and enjoy.
