[Direct answer]The process can be divided into two steps. First, request confirmation that the forced demolition is illegal through administrative litigation, and then claim administrative compensation in accordance with the Law of the People's Republic of China on State Compensation (amended in 2012). The scope of compensation typically includes the value of the demolished house, losses of indoor equipment and items, relocation and temporary resettlement costs, and losses of production and business operations; direct losses caused by illegal forced demolition should be compensated. Enterprises should fix evidence as soon as possible: photos and videos before and after the forced demolition, lists of property and ownership information, appraisal reports, tax payment and operating data, which can be used to prove the existence and amount of losses.

1. Problem background and typical scenarios

The factory was forcibly demolished without compensation or an agreement, and the equipment was buried, the goods were damaged, and the production and operation were disrupted. The business owners were angry but didn't know how to claim compensation.

II. Key points of contention

First, whether the forced demolition is legal and who carried it out; second, the relationship between compensation and restitution; third, whether indirect losses such as production and business suspension can be compensated; fourth, the proof and evaluation of losses.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Law Firm

The first layer: First, determine the illegality. Legal expropriation and demolition must comply with compensation procedures, require signing agreements or making compensation decisions, and apply for court enforcement according to law; forced demolitions carried out without legal procedures or by unauthorized entities are illegal. Enterprises should first identify the implementing entities (district governments, streets, law enforcement departments, etc.) and then initiate administrative litigation to confirm the illegality. The second layer: The relationship between compensation and compensation. If the expropriation itself is legal, the enterprise claims compensation; if the forced demolition is illegal, it claims administrative compensation. The two can be connected, and the scope of compensation includes losses caused by illegal actions. The third layer: The scope of compensation. State compensation is based on direct losses, and generally includes the value of the house, damage to equipment and items, and relocation and resettlement costs. Whether compensation is available for benefits such as production and business interruptions varies depending on the degree of illegality, causality, and evidence presented. In practice, there is some support for reasonable production losses directly caused by forced demolitions. The fourth layer: Evidence and evaluation. Enterprises should provide proof of ownership of the house and equipment, purchase invoices, inventory records, financial statements, and tax data, and commission an evaluation to determine the losses. For parts that cannot be proven, the court will make a judgment based on common sense and reasonableness. Henglue Law Firm reminds that in cases of illegal forced demolitions, time is critical and evidence is easily lost. It is crucial to immediately preserve the scene and inventory assets.
