Spa chain, company told to refund money
Print Edition
LICHI Oriental Club, a high-end beauty and spa chain that abruptly shut down in October last year, and its parent company, were yesterday ordered to pay 53,813.70 yuan (US$8,669) to one of its patrons, the People’s Court of Jing’an District announced yesterday.
The plaintiff, a woman surnamed Chen, said she had paid the club on Wuning Road 30,000 yuan, 70,000 yuan and 4,960 yuan, respectively, in February 2012, December 2012 and January 2014 for services which were said to be worth 220,000 yuan.
In August, when Chen visited the club the last time, she still had 161,441 yuan in credits left in her membership card before it shut down suddenly. So Chen, in her complaint, demanded that the parent company, Shanghai Jing’an Lichi Business Hotel Co, refund the remaining 53,813.70 yuan owed to her.
The court said the parent company should be held responsible because according to the membership card it holds the final right of the interpretation to the card.
No one from the company or the club was present at the trial and the court said it would sell the confiscated assets and pay the plaintiff, but added it was unlikely that Chen would recover all the money even after the liquidation.
The Lichi Oriental Club, with its headquarters on Wuning Road S. in Jing’an District, had a total of five branches in the city.
