[Some Successful Cases]

The case in which Sun *hui from Henan won the lawsuit against the district government for administrative expropriation and compensation:

The cherry orchard legally contracted by Sun * was demolished due to expropriation, and the district government offered extremely low compensation. After the lawyer intervened, he sued the court on the grounds that the evaluation report made by the district government unilaterally did not comply with legal procedures and was not objective. After the court heard the case, it adopted the lawyer's suggestion and re-selected an evaluation agency to make a reasonable evaluation report. In the end, Sun * received a reasonable compensation of about 1 million yuan, which was more than the original compensation result.

The case in which a stone development company in Yunnan Province successfully won the administrative license dispute against the municipal forestry bureau:

A stone company was restricted from operating due to local policies. After the lawyer intervened, the company submitted an application for administrative licensing to the local forestry bureau in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Administrative Licensing Law.

During the trial, the lawyer went to the scene several times to collect evidence, and finally won the court's judgment in favor of the company, ordering the forestry bureau to deal with the company's administrative licensing.

The case in which Mo *long of Yibin, Sichuan Province, and the district people's government won the lawsuit demanding the forced demolition of the house:

Mo * was left homeless after his divorce. He built a residential plot in his village for living, but halfway through the construction, he was suddenly told that it was an illegal building, and the district government staff demolished it overnight. After the lawyer got involved, he believed that the plot in question met the conditions for building a residential plot and guided Mo * to submit an application for residential plot approval to the local government. He also actively filed a lawsuit against the illegal demolition and eventually won a judgment against the illegal demolition. The local government also provided Mo * with reasonable compensation.

The case in which Yao *ping from Panzhihua, Sichuan Province, won the lawsuit against the Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau for disclosure of government information:

The commercial housing purchased by Yao *ping was left unfinished and could not be delivered on time. After the lawyer conducted a meticulous analysis, it was determined that the main reason for the unfinished state of the house was due to the housing and construction bureau's failure to supervise the funds properly. Therefore, the lawyer requested the disclosure of information regarding the supervision of the funds for the commercial housing. The other party evaded the issue by claiming that there was no such thing, but after suing the court, the lawyer successfully obtained support according to the law.

The case in which Xu * from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province won the compensation for the expropriation of his house on state-owned land against the municipal government:

Xu *'s house on state-owned land was included in the scope of expropriation, but the city government offered too low compensation and the two sides failed to reach an agreement. After the lawyer got involved, he promptly retrieved evidence through information disclosure about the expropriation project and conducted an investigation into Xu's family situation. Based on the retrieved evidence, the lawyer argued that Xu's house should be compensated according to the prices of surrounding commercial housing, and that Xu's family qualified for family assistance due to its special circumstances. He then initiated an administrative review. During the review, after multiple rounds of negotiations, an agreement was finally reached, and Xu received monetary compensation of over 600,000 yuan and an original relocation house of 86 square meters on the original site. Our side withdrew the review application and successfully concluded the case.

The case in which Zhang *you from Beijing successfully sued the town government for forced demolition of illegal buildings and won state compensation:

Zhang * ran a livestock farm for several decades, but it was shut down due to local environmental protection policies. The two parties failed to reach an agreement on compensation, and the town government issued a notice of identifying the building as illegal and carried out forced demolition. After the lawyer got involved, he filed administrative appeals and lawsuits against the town government's decision to restrict demolition and the forced demolition actions, and both cases were successful. Later, the lawyer also sued the court for compensation. After the second-instance court's final judgment, Zhang * received reasonable and legal compensation.

The case in which Ai * from Jinan, Shandong Province, successfully sued the village committee for infringing the legitimate rights and interests of members of the collective economic organization:

Ai *'s household registration has always been in the village, but when the village was subject to land expropriation, the village authorities refused to allocate land compensation funds to Ai * on the grounds that she had married outside the village. After the lawyer intervened, he argued that Ai * fully met the criteria for membership in the village's collective economic organization and sued the village committee in court. After the court's trial, it ultimately adopted the lawyer's opinion, not only recognizing Ai *'s status as a member of the collective economic organization, but also supporting all of Ai *'s litigation requests. As a result, Ai * ultimately received land compensation funds of over 200,000 yuan.

Jiangsu Qu *hua's case of winning the administrative compensation for the illegal demolition by the town government:

Eventually, it was confirmed that the * Municipal Government's forced demolition was illegal, and reasonable compensation was provided for the demolished house of Qu *.

Huang Luan, a resident of Xiaogan City, Hubei Province, won a lawsuit against the district government over the compensation for the collective land expropriation.

Luan's residential land is within the scope of the expropriation, but the compensation offered by the district government was too low, and the two sides failed to reach an agreement. After the lawyer got involved, he obtained the expropriation compensation plan through information disclosure, prepared a compensation detailed list based on Luan's actual situation, and clarified the compensation amount. Then, a lawsuit was filed in court. Before the trial, the district government repeatedly contacted Luan to negotiate the compensation matter. With the lawyer's assistance, an agreement was finally reached and a compensation agreement was signed one day before the trial. Luan received a compensation amount about 400,000 yuan higher than the original compensation. Our side successfully withdrew the lawsuit and concluded the case.

The case of Liu * from Changde, Hunan, who won the lawsuit against the street office over housing expropriation and compensation:

Liu * owned a self-built house in a certain residential community, where a family of seven has been living there for a long time. However, the local neighborhood office suddenly demanded that Liu * vacate the house on the grounds that it was an illegal building, threatening to carry out forced demolition if he refused to comply. After a stalemate between the two sides, the lawyer intervened, conducted on-site inspections and evidence review, and determined that Liu *'s house was not an illegal construction. The neighborhood office had no right to demand that Liu * move out, so the lawyer initiated an administrative review on this basis. After the review authority held a hearing and adopted the lawyer's opinion, the illegal construction determination and demolition decision were successfully revoked. Subsequently, through multiple negotiations between the lawyer and the neighborhood office staff, the two sides reached an agreement and signed a compensation agreement, under which Liu * received over 1 million yuan in monetary compensation, successfully concluding the case.

The case of 18 villagers in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, winning the lawsuit over land compensation disputes:

The residential plots of the 18 villagers were included in the mining area. The local coal mining company demanded that the 18 villagers be relocated and compensated, but the compensation amount was extremely low. After the lawyer intervened and collected evidence through information disclosure, it was determined that the land in question was not a state-approved expropriation project, but an act of illegal land occupation by the coal mining company for profit. Therefore, an administrative investigation was initiated against the coal mining company for its illegal land occupation. Under pressure, the coal mining company repeatedly sought to negotiate compensation with the clients. After more than 10 days of negotiations, compensation agreements were signed with all 18 villagers, and confidentiality clauses were agreed upon. The villagers were very satisfied with the outcome, and our firm withdrew the application, successfully concluding the case.

A case in which someone from Jinan, Shandong Province, successfully sued the town government for failing to fulfill its statutory resettlement and compensation obligations:

Later, he went out to work, and after his father passed away, the homestead in his family was illegally occupied by a neighbor. Later, the village was expropriated, but the town government refused to provide any resettlement or compensation on the grounds that Duan * did not have a homestead. After the lawyer got involved, he actively communicated with the judge, applied for an investigation order to collect favorable evidence, and after several court hearings, finally won a judgment in favor of Duan *, ordering the town government to provide him with reasonable resettlement according to law.

The case in which 31 households in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, won the lawsuit against the local government's illegal expropriation decision:

31 homeowners' houses were included in the scope of state-owned land expropriation, but the district government failed to provide reasonable compensation, and the two parties have not reached an agreement. After the lawyer's intervention, through on-site visits, field investigations, and sending letters to relevant departments to obtain favorable evidence, it was ultimately determined that the expropriation decision made by the district government was illegal. Therefore, the case was brought to court. The lawyer argued that the administrative organ did not comply with the "Four Plans and One Plan" when making the expropriation decision, did not aim at public interests, and did not allocate funds for specific purposes. Moreover, the selection of evaluation agencies was illegal. In the end, the court adopted the lawyer's opinion and ruled that the expropriation decision made by the district government was illegal.

The case of Liu * from Jiyuan, Henan Province, who successfully sued the town government for forced demolition of his illegal building and won state compensation:

Liu *'s residential land was included in the scope of expropriation, but the town government demolished it overnight without any compensation. Liu * was angry and determined to seek legal help from a lawyer. After the lawyer got involved, he promptly filed an administrative lawsuit with the court. Due to the fact that the town government carried out the demolition at night without any witnesses, the lawyer guided Liu * to report the matter to the police. During the court trial, the other party kept arguing that it wasn't the town government's responsibility. The lawyer legally requested the court to retrieve the relevant case files from the public security organ, and in these files, the lawyer found strong evidence of the town government's illegal demolition. In the end, the court ruled that the town government's demolition was illegal and compensated Liu * accordingly. Liu * ultimately received 300,000 yuan in monetary compensation and a residential land plot.

The case in which a ceramics company in Fuling, Chongqing, successfully won the administrative punishment and compensation against the district government:

The district government wanted to expropriate the factory building of a ceramics company to build photovoltaic power generation facilities, but it demanded the forced demolition of the building without any compensation on the grounds that it was an illegal construction. After the lawyer got involved, he carefully analyzed and sorted out the case, finding that the district government's law enforcement purpose was improper. He took active measures to respond to the situation, applied for personal and property protection to the local public security organ, and initiated an administrative review of the administrative punishment. Under various pressures, the district government actively negotiated with the company on compensation and relocation issues several times. After about a week of efforts with the lawyer's assistance, the two sides reached an agreement, and the company received reasonable compensation and voluntarily relocated. We successfully withdrew the review application and concluded the case.
