10 CASE NOTESENGLISH & 中文A judgment for repayment had not produced a workable route to recovery. Shanghai Shenxin Law Firm’s enforcement team obtained WeChat and Alipay records through lawyer investigation orders, connected the evidence with a specific court application and continued to advance performance. The matter proceeded through an enforcement settlement, with RMB 350,000 recovered.
A mediated debt of RMB 1.085 million remained unpaid. Conventional asset searches had not produced available funds, and preserved equity failed to sell. Shanghai Shenxin Law Firm’s enforcement team refocused the inquiry on unusual transaction activity, advanced a court application and pursued performance. The debtor subsequently paid RMB 960,600 in several transfers.
A loan enforcement matter faced possible closure of the current enforcement procedure, while a preserved property offered uncertain sale prospects. Shanghai Shenxin Law Firm’s team reviewed the file, assessed the property’s marketability and proposed targeted inquiries into active accounts alongside further court engagement. Two bank notifications record receipts of RMB 51,070 and RMB 50,000, totalling RMB 101,070.
The property was already under court seizure, but resistance to handover and disposal prevented practical progress. Shanghai Shenxin Law Firm’s team investigated transaction records, supported the creditor and pursued discussions about performance. The debtor moved from non-cooperation to signing property-transfer documents, advancing implementation of the recovery arrangement.
Repeated repayment promises had not produced payment, while the debtor referred to financial difficulties and other debts. Account preservation changed the practical position and was followed by discussions at the firm. Shanghai Shenxin Law Firm’s team pursued a focused negotiation that resulted in partial repayment, connecting a procedural measure with actual performance.
A RMB 900,000 loan claim remained unpaid while the borrower maintained that no assets were available. Shanghai Shenxin Law Firm’s enforcement team brought financial disclosure, spending evidence and repayment negotiations into the court process, helping secure an initial RMB 40,000 payment. Recovery remains partial.
A supplier’s debtor faced multiple enforcement matters and continued to assert an inability to pay. Shanghai Shenxin Law Firm’s team followed WeChat and bank transactions, identified activity during enforcement and connected those findings with the relevant proceedings. RMB 350,000 has been recovered, with remaining performance under follow-up.
A shareholder questioned related-business transactions as revenue increased while profits and distributions weakened. Shanghai Shenxin Law Firm’s team worked on investigation orders, financial tracing, account review and preservation of evidence. The dispute ultimately resulted in a RMB 3.5 million settlement and recovery.
A construction judgment remained unpaid because the debtor company’s accounts held no funds. Shanghai Shenxin Law Firm’s team examined financial flows, registration history and contribution issues, then brought a separate shareholder-liability claim. A bank transfer record and the client’s acknowledgment document progress from negotiation to payment.
An established lending judgment remained unpaid. Shanghai Shenxin Law Firm’s enforcement team connected investigation orders, financial tracing, company filings and property information, identified real estate held by an enforcement debtor and pursued its disposal. A successful auction led to recovery of RMB 18 million.
