Below is a detailed report:

The plaintiff Guangdong Jianlang Hardware Products Co., Ltd. filed a lawsuit requesting the court to order: 1. The defendant to immediately pay the outstanding amount of 109,711.70 yuan and late interest of 3,860.94 yuan (calculated based on 109,711.70 yuan principal, using the one-year loan prime rate published by the National Interbank Funding Center authorized by the People’s Bank of China from June 1, 2024, until actual payment); 2. The defendant to bear the case acceptance fee, preservation fee, and preservation guarantee insurance costs. Facts and reasons: The plaintiff and the defendant Wuhan Xin Cheng Kai Industrial Co., Ltd. signed an electronic lock supply and installation contract for the “xxx project” on December 12, 2019, agreeing that the defendant would purchase and install smart locks from the plaintiff. The plaintiff was to complete delivery and installation by June 1, 2022, with acceptance by the defendant and all parties. The parties agreed on a settlement amount of 548,558.50 yuan on September 22, 2022. The defendant paid 438,846.80 yuan, leaving an outstanding balance of 109,711.70 yuan. The contract stipulates that the court at the project location has jurisdiction, and the project is located in Wuhan Dongxihu District. Wuhan Shengyang Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., as the sole shareholder of Wuhan Xin Cheng Kai Industrial Co., Ltd., should bear joint payment liability.

The defendant Wuhan Xin Cheng Kai Industrial Co., Ltd. filed a written defense claiming that the interest calculation start date was incorrect. According to the contract, the two-year quality warranty period begins from the delivery date. Some buildings of the project were delivered on April 30, 2022, and the rest on April 17-18, 2022. The warranty period should start from July 19, 2022, and end on July 18, 2024. Therefore, interest should accrue from July 19, 2024. The defendant Wuhan Shengyang Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. did not respond.

The court, after review, found the facts as follows: On December 12, 2019, Wuhan Xin Cheng Kai Industrial Co., Ltd. and the plaintiff signed the “Wuhan xxx Project (***): Bulk Electronic Lock Supply and Installation Contract,” agreeing that the plaintiff would supply and install electronic locks for Building 3#至10# of the xxx project, with a total contract price of 548,558.50 yuan. Payment was to be made without prepayment, with progress payments up to 95% of the total settlement, and a 5% warranty deposit of the settlement price. On March 3, 2022, the plaintiff delivered 1,022 sets of electronic locks; by June 1, 2022, the project was completed and accepted; on September 22, 2022, both parties signed a “Project Settlement Statement,” confirming a settlement amount of 548,558.50 yuan, with 438,846.80 yuan paid, 27,427.92 yuan for warranty funds, and an outstanding balance of 82,283.78 yuan. On October 14, 2022, the plaintiff issued a “Customer Reconciliation Statement,” indicating receivables of 110,785.20 yuan; on November 8, 2022, the defendant’s staff replied that the actual receivable was 109,711.70 yuan. It was also found that Wuhan Xin Cheng Kai Industrial Co., Ltd. is a wholly owned enterprise, and Wuhan Shengyang Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. is its sole shareholder.

The court held that the contract was legal and valid, the plaintiff had fulfilled its obligations, and the defendant Wuhan Xin Cheng Kai Industrial Co., Ltd. failed to pay on time, constituting a breach. The defendant should pay 109,711.70 yuan. Regarding late interest, the plaintiff agreed with the defendant’s claimed start date; thus, interest is supported from July 19, 2024, based on the one-year LPR. Wuhan Shengyang Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., as the sole shareholder, failed to prove independent assets and should bear joint liability. The defendant, having been lawfully summoned but failing to appear, is deemed to have waived its rights, and the case can be decided in its absence.

The case ruling: In accordance with relevant laws, the court orders Wuhan Shengyang Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. to pay the plaintiff 109,711.70 yuan and late interest (based on 109,711.70 yuan, from July 19, 2024, until actual payment, calculated at the one-year LPR). Wuhan Xin Cheng Kai Industrial Co., Ltd. shall bear joint liability for the debt. The plaintiff’s other claims are dismissed. If the defendant fails to comply within the specified period, it shall pay double late payment interest. The case acceptance fee is 2,570 yuan, preservation fee 1,088 yuan, totaling 3,658 yuan, to be jointly borne by both defendants; the publication fee of 400 yuan shall be borne by Wuhan Xin Cheng Kai Industrial Co., Ltd. If dissatisfied, the parties may appeal within fifteen days of receiving the judgment to the Wuhan Intermediate People’s Court of Hubei Province.
