[Zhongji Briefing] Yunnan Xindao Law Firm Visited Our Firm to Conduct Business Exchange Activities
On July 23, 2025, a delegation led by Director Liu Haoyuan from Yunnan Xindao Law Firm (hereinafter referred to as “Xindao Firm”), including lawyers Long Yan, Dong Xiongshi, Feng Lin, and Zhou Huijuan, visited our firm to engage in business exchange activities.
The right of the actual contractor to claim payment for the project work is derived from Article 793, Paragraph 1 of the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China and Article 24 of the Supreme People’s Court’s Interpretation (I) on the Application of Laws in Handling Disputes over Construction Project Contracting Contracts. Both provisions stipulate that such right is contingent upon the “construction project having passed acceptance inspection.” Consequently, in practice, it is common for the project owner or the contractor to raise the defense that “the project constructed by the actual contractor has quality problems,” thereby challenging the actual contractor’s right to payment. This often gives rise to disputes: If a project has quality problems, does the actual contractor necessarily lose his or her right to claim payment for the project work?
