One of our clients, a major company in the field of medical products, decided to purchase a large number of protective masks for a significant amount of money. He did so through a trusted company in China. The entity with which our client has been cooperating for years provides services in the field of sales brokerage. He took orders from our client, searched for a product on the Chinese market, ordered it in the expected quantity, and then sold it to the ordering party, earning a commission.
The cooperation was going well until a major failure resulted in significant losses for our client. The product sent had a production error. The Chinese partner, indicating that he cares about long-term cooperation, declared that he would take care of the case and sue the manufacturer who sold him defective goods. The Polish contractor patiently waited for the outcome of the case, but the case dragged on. He decided to seek help from our specialists. After verifying the publicly available court judgments, we quickly determined that the entity had lost the case a long time ago. When the client contacted us, the Chinese entity filed unnecessary appeals that were certain to fail. They were intended to prolong the completion of the case and give the seller time to transfer his assets and disappear. Our quick diagnosis, preparation of appropriate documents and obtaining of security over the seller’s property effectively secured our client’s claim.
