[2] 【Lead Lawyers: Wang Tengfeng, Wu Jinsong】 In the case of a payment dispute between Xu XX, owner of a steel business in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, and a company in Dongguan, our lead lawyers Wang Tengfeng and Wu Jinsong represented Zhu XX in the first and second trials. After twists and turns, the appeal succeeded, and the overdue payment of 2,224,970 yuan was recovered.

[3] The focus of the case was: The delivery note provided by Xu XX bore the signature of Liu XX, general manager of the Dongguan company, but the name after the character "Liu" was crossed out. During the first trial, Liu XX insisted that the signature was a mistake and thus crossed out. The first-instance judge ruled that "Xu XX could not prove that Liu XX's signature was in that style, so Liu XX's signature was invalid," and dismissed Zhu XX's claim. Our firm's appeal arguments were:

[4] First, as a legal representative of the company with normal capacity, Liu XX could not have misunderstood the clear content of the receipt; his signature indicated confirmation of the debt's existence.

[5] Second, Liu XX's expression of denial or revocation must be clear and have a legitimate reason; the first-instance court could not make one-sided inferences.

[6] Third, the first-instance court incorrectly allocated the burden of proof, leading to plaintiff Xu XX's loss.

The court of second instance fully adopted the代理意见 of our firm's lawyers, confirmed the validity of Liu XX's signature, and ruled that Liu XX and the company he established should pay Xu XX the货款 of 2,224,970 yuan. Lead lawyer Wang Tengfeng and lawyer Wu Jinsong, leveraging their extensive experience and superb skills, successfully represented this appeal, restored the true facts of the case, and ultimately enabled Xu XX to recover the货款 of 2,224,970 yuan after failing to collect it in the first instance. After winning the case, the client Xu XX highly praised the professionalism, work standards, and case results of our firm's lawyers.
