Copyright 2012 by Stanford University 2 2012.01.09 Edition Keywords Civil Litigation Enforcement Settlement Withdrawal of an Appeal Does Not Perform a Settlement Agreement Apply to Enforce the Judgment of First Instance Main Points of the Adjudication During the second instance of a civil case in which the two parties reach a settlement agreement and the people’s court [of second instance] approves the withdrawal of the appeal, that settlement agreement has [, therefore,] not been made into a bill of mediation by the people’s 1 court in accordance with law and belongs to [the class of] agreements reached outside of litigation. If one party does not perform the settlement agreement and the other party applies to enforce the judgment of first instance, the people’s court should support the application. Related Legal Rule(s) Article 207, Paragraph 2 of the Civil Procedure Law of the People’s Republic of China Basic Facts of the Case The plaintiff, WU Mei ( 吴梅 ), was the proprietor of Wu Mei Recycle Station of Dongpo District, Meishan Municipality, Sichuan Province and was engaged in the business of acquiring abandoned products. Since around 2004, WU Mei had sold abandoned books to the defendant, Meishan Xicheng Paper Co., Ltd. of Sichuan Province ( 四川省眉山西城纸业有限公司 ) (hereinafter referred to as “Xicheng Paper Company”). On April 14, 2009, after the two parties settled their account, Xicheng Paper Company issued WU Mei an IOU, which clearly stated: 1 In a piece of commentary contributed to the China Guiding Cases Project, Judge JIANG Heping wrote: “Parties who reach a settlement can, based on actual situations, choose between withdrawal and mediation procedures, where different procedures have entirely different legal consequences. If the parties choose withdrawal, the second -instance proceeding will terminate and the first -instance judgment will take legal effect. If the parties choose mediation, the court will examine the agreement reached by the parties; an agreement affirmed and established after examination will be made into a bill of mediation by the court, endowing the settlement agreement with legal authority equivalent to judgment.” JIANG Heping, A Brief Commentary on Guiding Case No. 2 , CHINA GUIDING CASES PROJECT , Jan. 16, 2012 (Randy WU trans., 2012), available at https://cgc.law.stanford.edu/commentary/1-judge -jiang. Copyright 2012 by Stanford University 3 2012.01.09 Edition Today, an amount of exactly ONE MILLION NINE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THOUSAND YUAN (RMB 1,970,000.00) for abandoned books is owed to WU Mei. On June 11 of the same year, the two parties also conducted a settlement of their account for amounts due for later [sales of] goods. Xicheng Paper Company issued WU Mei an IOU, which clearly stated: Today, an amount of exactly FIVE HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT THOUSAND YUAN (RMB 548,000.00) for abandoned books is owed to WU Mei. Because WU Mei urged receipt of the abovementioned payments multiple times, but to no avail, she brought a lawsuit with the Dongpo District People’s Court of Meishan Municipality requesting that the court order Xicheng Paper Company to pay an amount of RMB 2,518,000 for goods plus interest. Defendant Xicheng Paper Company did not raise any objections to the fact that it owed WU Mei an amount of RMB 2,518,000 for goods. After the trial, the court of first instance held: Defendant Xicheng Paper Company shall pay plaintiff WU Mei an amount of RMB 2,518,000 for goods plus the default interest within ten days after this judgment comes into effect. After the judgment was pronounced, Xicheng Paper Company appealed to the Intermediate People’s Court of Meishan Municipality. While the second instance [of the case] was being handled, Xicheng Paper Company and WU Mei signed a repayment agreement on October 15, 2009 by which they agreed upon a plan for repayment by Xicheng Paper Company and WU Mei [agreed to] relinquish her request for interest payments. On October 20 of the same year, Xicheng Paper Company applied to withdraw its appeal on the grounds that it had voluntarily reached a settlement agreement with the other party. After the Intermediate People’s Court of Meishan Municipality ruled to allow the withdrawal, because Xicheng Paper Company had not fully performed the settlement agreement, WU Mei applied to the court of first instance for the enforcement of the judgment of first instance. The Dongpo District People’s Court of Meishan Municipality supported WU Mei’s application to enforce the judgment of first instance. Xicheng Paper Company applied to the Intermediate People’s Court of Meishan Municipality for enforcement supervision, claiming that the original judgment of first instance should not be enforced. Results of the Adjudication On July 7, 2010, the Intermediate People’s Court of Meishan Municipality issued the (2010) Mei Zhi Du Zi No. 4 Reply, in which it opined: Based upon WU Mei’s application, there Copyright 2012 by Stanford University 4 2012.01.09 Edition is nothing inappropriate in the court of first instance’s accepting [the request] to enforce a legal document that has already come into effect. The court of first instance should continue enforcing [the judgment]. Reasons for the Adjudication The court opined: Xicheng Paper Company should have known the legal consequence of withdrawing an appeal, which was that once the court ruled to allow it to withdraw the appeal, the Dongpo District People’s Court of Meishan Municipality’s judgment of first instance immediately became a legally effective judgment, and possessed compulsory enforcement authority. Although the settlement agreement that the two parties reached in second-instance proceedings on the basis of their own volition did set forth stipulations on related rights and obligations, [and] through signing the agreement, Xicheng Paper Company gave up exercising the right to appeal and WU Mei abandoned [monetary] interest; [nevertheless], this settlement agreement was [of the class of] agreements reached by two parties outside of litigation, not possessing compulsory enforcement authority before being affirmed and turned into a bill of mediation by a people’s court in accordance with law. Xicheng Paper Company did not act in accord with the settlement agreement to perform its repayment obligations, violating the parties’ agreement and the principle of good faith. As a result, the court did not support Xicheng Paper Company’s claim that the effective original judgment should not be enforced on the grounds that the two parties had already reached a settlement agreement.

  • Spatial-Temporal Variations of Vegetation and the Relationship with Precipitation in Summer-A Case Study in the Hilly Area of Central Sichuan Province
    E3S Web of Conferences 53, 03060 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20185303060 ICAEER 2018 Spatial-Temporal variations of vegetation and the relationship with precipitation in summer-A case study in the hilly area of central Sichuan province Xinrui Luo1, Wunian Yang1, Liang Liu1, Yuhang Zhang1 1 Key Laboratory of Geoscience Spatial Information Technology of Ministry of Land and Resources, 610059 Chengdu, China Abstract. The hilly area of central Sichuan is one of the ecologically fragile regions in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and it is also the main part of ecological engineering construction. The ecological environment in the study area is related to the ecological security in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Recent years have witnessed a great change in vegetation cover in this area as a result of climate change. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the changing patterns of vegetation cover and the impacts of climate change on the vegetation cover change in the study area. In this paper, the characteristics of vegetation cover change over the past 15 years were analyzed, based on the dataset of MODIS NDVI from 2001 to 2015 as well as the climate data from 55 meteorological stations, with methods such as maximum value composite (MVC), linear regression and correlation coefficient. The results showed that the annual maximum average NDVI in the hilly areas of central Sichuan has increased at a rate of 5.84/10a (P<0.01), while the summer average NDVI has increased at a rate of 1.6/10a (P>0.1).
