Plaintiff fined 100,000 yuan for fraud litigation
Print Edition
A MAN, who made a fake loan contract and tried to sue a couple with it, was fined 100,000 yuan (US$15,475) by the Shanghai No.1 Intermediate People’s Court said yesterday.
In his filing to the court, the plaintiff, surnamed Tang, demanded more than 8 million yuan “as principal and interest” from the couple.
The court also found that the wife of the couple being sued was having an affair with Tang. She was fined 50,000 yuan for her role in the scam and for making a false statement in the court.
Tang told the court he signed a loan contract with a man surnamed Li on February 26 last year and had lent him 6 million yuan, which was supposed to be returned, as per the “contract,” on March 30. After Li refused to pay any money to Tang, he filed a lawsuit. He was backed in the court by Li’s wife Sun.
Li told the court he never borrowed any money from Tang, and was trying to divorce Sun since 2009 after he found out about her affair with Tang.
The court authenticated the contract and found it was forged with the signatures being pieced together by the two.
Besides, with no evidence of money changing hands, the court ruled against Tang.
But Tang filed another suit in the appeals court, this time with a new evidence — a receipt, which also turned out to be fake.
The court considered the litigation as an act of fraud and malicious collaboration between Tang and Sun.
The court upheld the verdict and fined both Tang and Sun.
