[Direct answer]In the Beijing area, there are mainly three paths: First, entrusting enforcement, where the enforcement court entrusts the court at the same level where the property is located to enforce it on its behalf; Second, directly applying for enforcement to the court with jurisdiction over the location of the property being enforced; Third, relying on the online investigation and control system and cross-regional cooperation mechanisms to take measures such as sealing, freezing, and deduction against deposits, real estate, vehicles, and equity in other regions. The Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China (amended on September 1, 2023 and implemented on January 1, 2024) stipulates the enforcement jurisdiction and entrusting enforcement. If the debtor or the property being enforced is located in another region, the local people's court can be entrusted to enforce it on behalf of the court. The key to cross-regional enforcement lies in property clues and cooperation efficiency. Parties should provide as much specific information as possible about accounts, real estate, vehicles, and equity, and cooperate with the court to advance the sealing and disposal of the property.

I. Problem background and typical scenarios

After the judgment takes effect, the other party's assets located in other regions often face geographical obstacles during enforcement. Typical scenarios include: the other party owns real estate and company shares in other provinces, but local courts have difficulty directly disposing of them; the debtor is a company located in another region, with its registered address and operating address not coinciding; vehicles used in other regions are difficult to seize; bank accounts distributed across multiple regions are hard to cover through local investigation and control; and the assets have already been sealed in other cases, requiring coordination in the order of disposal. These issues require cross-regional collaboration and evidence support.

II. Key points of contention

First, the triggering conditions and process of entrusted enforcement. Second, the jurisdiction of the court where the property is located and the application materials. Third, the coverage and limitations of online investigation and control. Fourth, the seizure, evaluation, and auction of real estate and equity in other regions. Fifth, the search and seizure of movable property such as vehicles. Sixth, the order of disposal and participation in distribution when the property has been sealed up in other cases. Seventh, the protection of rights of third parties and objections to enforcement. These issues determine the effectiveness of enforcement in other regions.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Lawyers

Henglue Law Firm once represented a shareholder liability dispute that damaged the interests of the company's creditors: The parties and a certain company entered into a brokerage contract dispute, and the effective judgment determined that the company should return the brokerage service fee of 423,500 yuan. After enforcement, the company was ordered to terminate the enforcement due to its lack of enforceable assets. The firm's lawyers investigated and found that the company's shareholders subscribed to a registered capital of 9 million yuan and 1 million yuan, but neither had paid the full amount, and the subscription period extended to 2039. Therefore, in accordance with relevant judicial interpretations, the firm argued that since the company had exhausted all enforcement efforts without assets and met the criteria for bankruptcy but failed to file for bankruptcy, the shareholders should accelerate their capital contributions and bear supplementary compensation liabilities within the unpaid scope. The court ultimately ruled that the two shareholders should bear responsibility within their respective unpaid ranges. Although the core of this case was shareholder liability, it shares common methodological approaches with cross-regional enforcement: When the debtor has no assets or assets located in other regions, enforcement cannot stop at local investigation, but should extend along the fund chain and equity chain to identify the shareholders' capital contributions, the assets of related companies, and the actual controllers' property, thereby expanding the scope of enforceable assets. In practice, Henglue Law Firm typically takes three steps to address cross-regional enforcement: First, conduct comprehensive investigations to identify the debtor's assets through the court's online investigation system and lawyer's investigations; Second, choose the appropriate approach: for regions with concentrated assets, apply for entrusted enforcement or directly file for enforcement with the court where the assets are located to improve disposal efficiency; Third, extend liability: trace the shareholders' capital contributions and related transactions for companies with no assets, and add the debtor or file a separate lawsuit if conditions permit. In addition, for cross-regional real estate appraisal and auction, attention should be paid to the local court's disposal process and announcement requirements, and timely participate and assert rights. Beijing courts have mature mechanisms for cross-regional enforcement cooperation, making effective use of entrusted enforcement and online investigation, which often significantly improves the efficiency of cross-regional enforcement.

5. Henglu Law Firm's Reminder

Firstly, when executing judgments in a different jurisdiction, it is necessary to actively provide clues rather than leaving everything to the court. Secondly, entrusting the court to enforce the judgment and applying for enforcement in the location of the property are two common approaches. Thirdly, it is difficult to locate and seize movable property, which requires continuous follow-up. Fourthly, when a company has no assets, the responsibility of shareholders and related parties can be pursued. Fifthly, attention should be paid to the order of compensation under the attachment of other cases and the right to raise objections. For matters involving enforcement and remote investigation and control, you can consult with the local court or seek professional legal assistance.Creditor's rights and debts, and enforcementWe can provide a comprehensive solution for services, which may include the transfer of company equity interests.Business and contract disputes in enterprisesFor cross-border assets, you can refer to the following information\nFinancial capital and cross-border transactions involving foreign entities.

VI. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is it necessary to entrust an enforcement agent to handle the property located in other regions?

Not necessarily. The court may entrust the court where the property is located to enforce it on its behalf, or may directly apply to the court with jurisdiction over the location of the property to be enforced. It can also be handled through the online investigation and enforcement collaboration mechanism. The specific choice depends on the type of property, its distribution, and the convenience of its disposal. It is recommended to determine the approach under the guidance of the enforcing court.

Q2: What materials do I need to prepare for enforcement in a different location?

It is necessary to prepare the execution basis and proof of effectiveness, the execution application, identity or subject materials, the authorization and entrustment procedures, as well as specific clues pointing to the properties in other regions, such as the account opening bank and account number, the location of real estate, vehicle information, and equity registration information. The more specific the clues are, the more efficient the investigation, control, and disposal will be, and the shorter the processing period will be.

Q3: How much does it cost to enforce a judgment in a different location?

The enforcement costs are generally borne by the person subject to enforcement and are calculated based on the proportion of the subject of enforcement; if it involves appraisal, auction, custody, and travel expenses, etc., they may be paid in advance and then deducted from the enforcement funds. The services of a lawyer are subject to additional fees. The specific standards are subject to the court's fee regulations and the provisions of the entrustment contract, and can be confirmed with the enforcement court in advance.

Q4: How long will it take to auction off properties in other cities?

The timeframe depends on the processes of investigation, evaluation, announcement, and auction. After the seizure, an evaluation must be completed and an auction announcement must be issued. If the first auction fails, there may be a second auction or a sale, and the entire process may last several months. The specific progress is affected by the workload of local courts and the arrangements of auction platforms. It is recommended to keep paying attention and cooperate in submitting materials.

Q5: What should I do if the other party transfers the money to an account in another city?

It is necessary to provide clues to the executing court in a timely manner, apply for the freezing and seizure of relevant accounts, and investigate the flow of funds and whether the recipients bear corresponding responsibilities. If it is a malicious transfer after litigation, claims can be made through such means as adding the party subject to enforcement or initiating a suit for revocation. After discovering the transfer, it is necessary to take action as soon as possible to prevent the funds from flowing out again.
