Won the case! "Citizen sues official" victory, court orders the Land and Resources Bureau to revoke the administrative penalty!
On November 25th, 2019, our firm received another winning judgment! In an administrative case handled by Lawyer Zeng Jie, Intern Lawyer Mai Maojun, and Intern Lawyer Li Zuolin from Guangdong Zhiming Law Firm's Literary Rights Protection Litigation Team, the court ruled that the Land and Resources Bureau of a certain county would revoke the erroneous administrative penalty imposed on the party Lin!
Lin, a villager in a certain village in Guangdong Province, applied to the village committee in 2018 for permission to build a house on a plot of self-retained land in the village for the purpose of household division. After issuing a "One Household, One Homestead" certificate to him, the village committee neglected to inform him that he also needed to complete the relevant construction application procedures. Unaware of this requirement, Lin began construction. In January 2019, the county Land and Resources Bureau imposed an administrative penalty on Lin for constructing a house without approval, consisting of a fine and an order to demolish the house under construction within a specified period. The Land and Resources Bureau also deprived Lin of the opportunity to apply for a hearing by exploiting his limited education and ignorance of the law.
Faced with the situation where the house will be demolished and fined, Lin feels deeply wronged. However, Lin knows that in order to confront the powerful public authority, relying solely on his own efforts is far from enough, and ordinary lawyers are also unable to handle it. He must entrust lawyers with advanced litigation skills and the ability to fight against government departments to uphold justice for himself. After extensive investigation and searching, Lin learned that the literary rights litigation team of Guangdong Zhiming Law Firm has rich experience and superb litigation skills in handling administrative litigation cases. Therefore, he came to seek help out of admiration.
After accepting the commission, the lawyer of the Zhiming Institute's artistic rights protection litigation team immediately analyzed the case carefully and skillfully, and believed that the administrative penalty decision made by the Land and Resources Bureau against Lin had many problems such as unclear identification, insufficient evidence, illegal procedures, improper application of laws, and obvious illegal punishment measures, which seriously infringed on the legitimate rights and interests of the party Lin. Based on their rich experience in handling such cases, the lawyers of the Zhiming Institute's literary and artistic rights litigation team immediately formulated a precise and efficient solution strategy in combination with the situation of this case.
After a clever and courageous litigation game, the lawyers of the Zhiming Institute's literary and artistic rights protection litigation team finally won the support of the court with strong persuasiveness, and ruled that the Land and Resources Bureau of a certain county should revoke the erroneous administrative penalty against the party Lin and bear the litigation costs of this case.
