Recently, the Taihu Court successfully settled a case of disputes over sales contracts.
In this case, the defendant signed a concrete purchase and sale contract with the plaintiff for the construction of a project in Taihu County. The contract stipulates the product price, payment method, liability for breach of contract, dispute resolution and other terms, and indicates that the specific quantity and total price shall be based on the actual quantity of the supply order. The plaintiff supplied commercial concrete to the defendant according to the contract, and the total amount of commercial concrete purchased by the defendant from the plaintiff was RMB 9050920. The defendant paid part of the purchase price in installments. On November 11, 2021, the Plaintiff and the Defendant checked the account of the outstanding payment for goods, and the Defendant confirmed that as of November 11, 2021, the Plaintiff owed a total of RMB 1370920 for goods. The plaintiff repeatedly failed to collect from the defendant and appealed to the court. After consulting the relevant evidence materials of the case, the
undertaking officer immediately called the defendant to find out the case and inquire about his willingness to mediate. The defendant said that in response to the plaintiff's lawsuit request, the company needed to check the accounts, request a certain amount of time, and then reply. After that, the defendant contacted the judge and said that the amount of arrears was true, but the company's current capital turnover was not enough. He hoped that the judge would help him to do the work and strive for a longer payment time. The judge communicated with the plaintiff by telephone and WeChat many times later, hoping that the plaintiff would give more time. With the unremitting efforts of the judge, the plaintiff finally agreed to the defendant's payment in installments. After that, the judge called the two parties to sign a mediation agreement, and the case was successfully settled. The subject matter involved in
this case is relatively large, but there is a dispute between the two parties on the payment time. Under the patient mediation of the judge, the plaintiff and the defendant finally reached an agreement on mediation, which achieved a good effect of closing the case.
