Accurate defense significantly reduces the payment responsibility of the affiliated unit

The plaintiff borrowed the name of Company A to undertake the civil engineering project. The plaintiff sued Company A for delayed payment of project funds due to the employer's delay. The first instance court ruled that Company A has no right to collect management fees due to the invalidity of the affiliation agreement and should pay all project funds.

Our lawyer represents Company A in the appeal, fully proving that Company A's advance payment of funds and assistance in settlement for the plaintiff should be considered as an engineering management behavior. At the same time, we raise the defense argument that although the agreement is invalid, the settlement terms should be applied accordingly.

Case result: The second instance court ruled in July 2025, supporting the full deduction of management fees and clarifying that Company A's payment obligation is based on the actual payment by the employer, reducing Company A's debt burden by more than 4 million yuan.
