What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Similarly, if you file an administrative lawsuit according to the procedure, the court must accept it, and once accepted, it must issue a judgment, and all these things need to be recorded in writing.

The property owners all nodded in agreement. Lawyer Tang was different from the lawyers they had encountered before; he really explained things clearly, and step by step, made sure everyone understood what was happening.

Moreover, the most crucial point was that there was no need for a lawsuit at the moment, so there was no need to sign a contract for now.

To apply for information disclosure, one interested party is enough, though of course, others are also willing to co-sign.

For the property owners, since it didn't cost them any money and could help push the case forward, they were all eager to participate.

It was only that older sister who had signed a power of attorney because the bank had already sued her, and she had lost at first instance, with the second instance looking like another loss.

Afterward, Tang Fangjing and Old Yu inquired, to which Old Yu expressed indifference; in fact, as long as he could get the house, he didn't care about the cost at all.

One day later, Tang Fangjing, with the co-signed application for information disclosure, arrived at the Jingzhou City Guangming District Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau.

He did not intend to go to the bank, as it was certain that he wouldn't be able to get any information there due to financial security reasons.

Even if there were court investigation orders, banks could refuse, let alone in this case.

The housing authority claimed they had no jurisdiction over the matter, but it was unthinkable; administrative agencies definitely have regulatory authority, and accordingly, for my request for information disclosure, I had to approach the relevant department.

The most important thing was that in the last two years, the management of supervisory accounts had become increasingly precise. In many developed provinces, they had already started implementing the function of querying the balance in real estate supervisory accounts.

You could directly enter the relevant information on the government department's website or mobile APP to conduct the search.

Don't ask, because the answer is that it's up to the local regulations, meaning that in some places, no matter how hard you try, you just can't get the information.

"Hey comrade, hello, I would like to ask, where is the office that handles information disclosure here?"

It was Old Tang who went inside but couldn't find the place and thus approached a staff member for help.

The staff member replied enthusiastically, "It's on the third floor, turn right after you go up. Are you here to apply for information disclosure? You can apply directly online or by mail."

"I know, I know, but applying in person is also possible, and I happen to have some other questions to ask."

Old Tang didn't like mailing in such things; he preferred to go to the police station for police reports, directly to the tax bureau for tax evasion reports, and naturally, he liked to apply for information disclosure in person as well.

After going up to the third floor and turning right, he quickly found the office for the information disclosure team.

He knocked on the door and a voice from inside said, "Please come in!"

Upon entering, he saw two desks inside, with two people busily working at their computers.

"Hey, can I help you with something?" Wu Shunyou, who was responsible for information disclosure, turned around, saw Tang Fangjing, and asked.

"Hello comrade, I am here to apply for information disclosure."

Wu Shunyou was also taken aback, probably used to online applications for such matters, and was a bit slow to react to someone applying in person.

"Here is my letter, my identification, and the power of attorney."

Old Tang handed over the relevant materials, and Wu Shunyou along with his colleague began to examine them carefully.

On the application letter, Tang Fangjing had listed nine requests. A professional lawyer making this kind of information disclosure request would definitely not be just asking for simple details.

For example, "the pre-sale funds supervision agreement"—if you are supervising, you definitely have this document.

Also, there was "usage plan and revision records"—the conditions under which certain amounts of money would be allocated.

And most importantly, "details of pre-sale funds supervision," totaling nine requests.

After a while, Wu Shunyou said, "Lawyer Tang, right? Some of the applications here can be disclosed, but details like 'pre-sale funds details' don't fall within the scope of information disclosure."

This matter was actually the detailed transaction records of the supervisory account, which could directly reflect when the money was transferred and for what purpose.

"Ah? Why can't this be disclosed? Your housing and urban development department has the regulatory authority," Old Tang said, looking puzzled.

"What you're asking for is essentially the details of a real estate company's pre-sale account. Although it's called a supervisory account, it is essentially the company's account, which is a trade secret and not within the scope of government information disclosure."

"However, you can try inquiring at the bank for account information, claiming your interest as a stakeholder, since the bank also has a regulatory responsibility."

Old Tang's face showed sudden understanding, "Oh, then just handle it as you see fit; I need an official reply letter."

"That will take a few days. Give me an address and I'll mail it directly to you."

Watching Tang Fangjing leave, Wu Shunyou got back to work. Although the other party had applied directly, it was not a big deal.

Several days flew by, and one morning, Old Tang received a "Response Notification to the Request for Government Information Disclosure" from the Guangming District Housing and Urban Development Bureau.

Upon opening it, Old Tang burst into laughter.

The notification stated that the supervision method for the pre-sale funds of phases one and two of the Victoria Gardens residential project was a two-party supervision agreement signed between the development enterprise and the supervisory bank, and that their bureau had not participated in the supervision of pre-sale funds for the project.

As for the other requests, there was no response at all.

However, this was enough; the housing department had explicitly replied, stating they were not involved in the supervision of the project funds, which meant that the bank was responsible for the supervision.

Now it was time to inquire at the bank, where the situation was likely to be quite satisfying...

Two hours later, at the Jingzhou City Bank Tide Road Branch, Old Tang looked at the familiar storefront and thought to himself that this was quite a coincidence.
