1. Laws applicable to the demolition and resettlement compensation agreement

(1) The demolition compensation and resettlement agreement is an agreement entered into by the demolisher, the demolished person, and the lessee to clarify the rights and obligations in house demolition compensation and resettlement. It is an administrative contract that stipulates the civil rights and obligations between the demolition parties. Applicable to relevant laws such as the Administrative Litigation Law, the Administrative Reconsideration Law, the Regulations on the Expropriation and Compensation of State-Owned Land and Houses. Because an agreement is also a contract, certain provisions of the Contract Law also apply.

(2) Article 11 of the "Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of the Administrative Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates:

In order to achieve public interests or administrative management objectives, and within the scope of statutory responsibilities, administrative agencies negotiate with citizens, legal persons or other organizations to enter into agreements containing rights and obligations under administrative law, which fall under the administrative agreement specified in Article 12, Paragraph 1, Item 11 of the Administrative Litigation Law.

1. Government franchise agreement;

2. Compensation agreement for expropriation of land, houses, etc.;

3. Other administrative agreements.

(3) Article 15 of the "Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of the Administrative Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates:

If the plaintiff claims that the defendant fails to perform in accordance with the law, fails to perform the agreement as agreed, or unilaterally changes or terminates the agreement, and the reasons are established, the people's court may, based on the plaintiff's claims, make a ruling confirming the validity of the agreement, ruling the defendant to continue to perform the agreement, and clarify the specific content of continued performance; if the Yingting Court believes that the defendant is unable to continue to perform or that continued performance has no practical significance, it will order the defendant to take corresponding remedial measures; if it causes losses to the plaintiff, it will order the defendant to compensate.

1. If the plaintiff requests to terminate the agreement or confirm the invalidity of the agreement, and the reasons are valid, the judgment shall be made to terminate the agreement or confirm the invalidity of the agreement, and the matter shall be dealt with in accordance with the Contract Law and other relevant legal provisions.

2. If the defendant unilaterally changes or terminates the agreement due to public interest needs or other legal reasons, causing losses to the plaintiff, the defendant shall be ordered to compensate.

2. Under what circumstances will the signed demolition compensation agreement be invalid?

(1) Ying Ting believes that the demolition compensation agreement is a civil agreement reached between the demolisher and the demolished person regarding demolition and resettlement compensation. A valid civil agreement is protected by the law, while an invalid civil agreement is not protected by the law.

(2) An invalid demolition agreement refers to an agreement reached between the demolition party and the demolished person that does not comply with the provisions of national laws and regulations and is confirmed to be invalid by the relevant departments prescribed by law. It will have no legal binding force from the date of the agreement.

I signed a demolition and resettlement compensation agreement, but later found out that the compensation was too little. Can I cancel the agreement?

According to the relevant laws, regulations, rules and local regulations of our country, the circumstances that cause the demolition agreement to be invalid mainly include the following categories:

1. The demolition agreement signed by the demolisher who does not have the civil rights for demolition and the demolished person is invalid; the demolition agreement signed by the demolisher and the parties not within the scope of demolition is invalid.

2. The demolition agreement signed by an agent who exceeds the agency authority or has no agency authority is invalid.

3. If the person to be demolished is a person without capacity for civil conduct, or the person to be demolished is a person with limited capacity for civil conduct, the demolition agreement entered into with the demolisher shall be invalid.

4. The demolition agreement violates laws and regulations and should be deemed invalid. Mainly include the following situations:

(1) The demolition agreement does not comply with the provisions of relevant approval documents. The demolisher shall demolish the house and its attachments in strict accordance with the approved legal documents, the demolition scope and time limit plan and the demolition plan. If the content does not comply with the provisions of the document plan, the agreement will be invalid.

(2) The demolition process and resettlement-related issues do not comply with the legal provisions on demolition.
