The provisions of the Civil Code shall not be applied to this case, which was decided to be retried after the final trial before the implementation of the Civil Code.
2. On the question of whether there was a private lending relationship between Wei XX and XX Company:
It was found that although Wei XX signed the Personal Mortgage Loan Contract with XX Company, Wei XX transferred the 12 million yuan of money formed by the two cycles to the bank card of Li XX, a manager of XX Company controlled by Wei XX, and then transferred the funds on the altered card to the controlling shareholder of XX Microfinance Company, Che XX, and XX Company actually did not receive the money contained in the contract, and according to the Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues on the Application of Laws in the Trial of Cases of Private Lending and Borrowing According to Paragraph 2 of Article 16 of the Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Private Loan Cases (Legal Interpretation [2015] No. 18), if the defendant argues that the loan has not yet actually taken place and can give a reasonable explanation, the people's court shall combine the amount of the loan, delivery of the money, the parties' economic capacity, the local area, or the way of transaction between the parties, the trading habits, the change of the parties' property, and the witness testimony, and other facts and factors. The people's court shall take into account the economic ability of the parties, the local or transaction mode between the parties, the transaction habit, the change of property of the parties and the witness testimony, etc., and make a comprehensive judgment to check whether the fact of borrowing and lending has occurred.
3. On the question of whether there was false litigation in this case:
This court reexamined the following: First, there was malicious collusion between the parties in the original trial. First, Wei XX based on the prosecution of the “personal mortgage loan contract” Wei XX and by XX company's legal representative Li XX entrusted Li XX signed, as the delivery of evidence of the receipt is Li Guohong respectively 7 million yuan and 5 million yuan bank transfer vouchers copy of writing, (but according to the statement of Li XX coercion to write).
Secondly, although Li XX think coerced, with the cooperation of XX, to complete the manufacture of 12 million yuan of bank water. Between the two parties in the 12 million yuan large sum of money litigation, there is no substantive civil rights and interests in dispute and substantive defense against.
Thirdly, Wei XX in the public security organs to state that they have no lending capacity, and the existing evidence proves that the 7 million yuan of funds used to create bank water is Liu X raised and transferred to Wei XX account. That Wei XX applying for judicial protection of the amount of litigation and its own economic situation is seriously inconsistent. The original trial there is a fictitious situation. Although Wei XX signed the Individual Mortgage Loan Contract with XX Company, under the instruction of Liu X, he handed over the bank cards of Li XX and Wei XX to someone else (Zhao X) for safekeeping, and utilized the bank card of Che XX, which was kept by XX Microfinance Company, to form the form of multiple reversals of accounts on August 15 and 16, 2017, respectively, and formed the transfer of $7 million and $5 million from Wei XX to Li XX for a total of 12 million yuan After the bank flow record, 7 million and 5 million yuan of funds were transferred back to the account of Che XX through 4.9 million, 2.1 million and 5 million yuan of three transfers, respectively, that is, 12 million yuan of bank flow water is created by the parties artificially and intentionally, i.e., the facts and amount of the borrowing involved in the case are fictitious for the parties. Third, the original trial there is borrowing legal civil procedure. Wei XX use artificially created bank water, civil litigation, XX company recognized 12 million yuan large amount of borrowing, the parties borrowed legal civil procedure, produce civil ruling documents, serious damage to the national judicial order, judicial authority. Therefore, there is false litigation in this case.
Judgment result: Wei XX's lawsuit is a false lawsuit, and the trial judgment should be set aside and the lawsuit should be dismissed. The Trial Committee of this court discussed and decided, based on the provisions of Article 115, Article 118 and Article 214 of the Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, the judgment is as follows: firstly, revoke the civil judgment No. 64 of the court (2017) Gan 08 Minchu; secondly, reject XX's litigation request. The case acceptance fee of RMB 101,960 was borne by Wei XX. Later, both parties appealed to the Gansu Higher People's Court, and the Higher People's Court upheld the first instance re-trial judgment.
This case XX company has applied for the implementation of the reversal, this case is currently the court of first instance Executive Board in the implementation of the reversal process, I believe that the court of first instance will be carried out in accordance with the law of the reversal, to the XX company a just result.
Analysis of the case
1. Sham litigation civil law provisions: Article 112 of the Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, malicious collusion between the parties in an attempt to infringe upon the lawful rights and interests of others through litigation, mediation, etc., the people's court shall reject the request and, depending on the severity of the circumstances, shall be fined, detained; constitutes a crime, shall be investigated for criminal responsibility.

That is to say that false litigation has both civil liability, civil treatment, also has criminal liability, criminal treatment. In this case, the public prosecutor's review of the decision not to prosecute, this is only criminal evidence is not sufficient, but civil still constitute false litigation, Wei XX and others should bear civil liability for false litigation.
In this case, the plaintiff in the retrial, together with others, malicious collusion, attempting to infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of XX company through litigation, mediation, etc., the people's court shall reject its litigation request, and find that this case is a false lawsuit.

Suspects and defendants often use unsecured, unguaranteed, fast lending as bait to attract victims to borrow money, and then sign relevant contracts or agreements. (2) create false accounts flow and other false payment facts. Suspects, defendants in accordance with the “loan” agreement amount of funds transferred to the victim's account, creating all the loans have been delivered to the victim's bank water and other traces, and then they will take various means to recover all the funds, the victim did not actually obtain “loan”! The victim did not actually obtain the “loan” agreement, the amount of money shown on the bank water. (3) intentionally create a breach of contract or arbitrarily determined that the breach of contract. Suspects, victims often set up default traps, create obstacles to repayment, etc., deliberately causing the victim default, forcing the victim to repay the false debt. (4) both hard and soft to make “debt”. In the case of the victim did not repay the false “loan”, the suspect with the help of litigation and other means to the victim for “debt”. This case is suitable for this provision of the above provisions, but due to the local public security investigative organs that the evidence of criminal liability is insufficient, the case in accordance with the civil trial supervision procedures to correct the erroneous judgment.
3. Legal issues relating to the reversal of execution
This case is a court trial and enforcement of the wrong case, in the trial supervision procedures in accordance with the law to correct the sentence, should be in accordance with the law by the court of first instance implementation of the reversal of the original case in the enforcement of how to transfer, are by the court of the wrong trial, the individual judges unprofessional, resulting in the wrong implementation of the transfer and lead to the XX company's lawful property was innocently transferred to the relevant persons, the court should be responsible for the case of the wrong verdict, the responsibility for the wrong implementation, XX The company is the victim, the right to request the trial court to correct the wrong judgment, and correct the wrong execution, execution reversal. The amount of execution reversal not only includes the principal, interest and loss and the court deducted the litigation costs of nearly 4000 million yuan.
4. the wrong case formed adverse social consequences
This case is the plaintiff wei xx abuse of the right to sue, false lawsuit, the trial court error fast verdict, error fast enforcement caused by the local modern agricultural leading enterprises closed down, forming huge losses and debts, and collateral damage to the interests of many villagers and Gansu small and medium-sized fund company's interests; this judicial injustice caused by the loss, the trial court should strengthen the efforts to implement the reversal, if the implementation of the money back to not, XX company should start applying for state compensation procedures. XX company should start to apply for state compensation program according to law. The execution court should fully consider the special circumstances of this case and strengthen the strength of the execution of the reversal, along the road to recover the money.

Although the realization of fair justice, the protection of the private economy is a long way to go. Crack down on loans, combat false lawsuits, protect the private economy, realize fair justice, give escort to a good economic environment, although it is a long-term and arduous task, but the judicial sector under the leadership of the Party Central Committee is to realize that there will be investigated for any mistakes, there will be corrected, so that every citizen will feel fairness and justice.
