[Direct answer]In the Beijing area, after a unit is subject to restrictions on high-consumption activities, its legal representatives and other relevant personnel will be subject to corresponding restrictions. According to the "Several Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Restricting the High-Consumption Activities of Debtors and Related Consumption" (amended in 2015), if the debtor is a unit, after the implementation of consumption-restriction measures, its legal representatives, principal responsible persons, direct responsible persons who affect the performance of debts, and actual controllers shall not engage in high-consumption activities or consumption activities that are not necessary for daily life and work using the unit's property. In practice, the personal travel and consumption of the aforementioned personnel will also be restricted, such as not being able to take flights, ride G-class high-speed trains, or stay in star-rated hotels. It should be noted that if the legal representative has been changed, the court may take consumption-restriction measures against the changed legal representative; if it is believed that the consumption restrictions are incorrect or no longer applicable to the relevant personnel, they may apply to the executing court for correction in accordance with the law. The fundamental way to lift the restrictions is still for the unit to fulfill its obligations or reach and implement a settlement agreement.

1. Problem background and typical scenarios

After the company is subject to enforcement proceedings, the legal representative is most concerned about being implicated himself. There are three typical scenarios: first, if the company fails to repay its debts, the legal representative may be subject to restrictions on high-consumption activities and have his personal travel affected; second, if he has just taken over the company or has long since left the position, he may still be inexplicably subject to such restrictions; third, he may misunderstand that the restrictions on high-consumption activities only affect the company and not himself. In Beijing, courts generally adopt measures to restrict the consumption of units that are subject to enforcement, and their legal representatives, principal responsible persons, and other relevant personnel may all be subject to such restrictions. It is very necessary to clarify the scope of personnel and remedial measures to avoid undue impact on personal credit and normal life.

II. Key points of contention

Firstly, which natural persons will be affected after the unit is subject to a credit rating restriction. Secondly, how should the scope of legal representatives and principal responsible persons be defined? Thirdly, will the credit rating restriction change after the legal representative changes? Fourthly, how to seek remedies for being wrongly restricted in consumption? Fifthly, what are the paths and conditions for lifting the credit rating restriction? The core is to clarify the relationship between the unit's credit rating restriction and the individual's credit rating restriction, define the scope of the persons subject to the restriction and the correction mechanism, and both implement the enforcement measures and avoid improperly involving unrelated persons.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Lawyers

From a practical perspective, when a unit is subject to restrictions on high-consumption activities, the impact is not limited to the company itself. The regulations on consumption restrictions explicitly stipulate that if the subject of enforcement is a unit, its legal representative, main responsible person, direct responsible persons who affect the performance of debts, and actual controllers are all prohibited from engaging in relevant high-consumption activities and non-essential consumption behaviors for life and work. This means that the legal representative's personal travel and consumption may also be restricted. In practice, there are two common issues: First, if the legal representative has been changed, the court may take consumption restriction measures against the new legal representative; if the original legal representative is no longer in office and does not belong to the direct responsible persons who affect the performance of debts, he/she may apply for the lifting of the restrictions against him/her. Second, for the relief of being wrongly restricted, if the relevant personnel are not the legal representative or main responsible person, nor belong to the direct responsible persons who affect the performance of debts, they may submit a correction application to the executing court and provide corresponding proof. It should be noted that the unit should actively fulfill the obligations determined by the effective legal documents, or reach a settlement with the applicant for enforcement and fulfill the obligations, in order to fundamentally lift the restrictions on the unit and relevant personnel; simply replacing the legal representative or transferring the enterprise's operations cannot necessarily avoid the restrictions, but may instead be regarded as evading enforcement.

IV. Practical suggestions and legal basis

Action suggestions: First, check the specific circumstances of the company being executed and restricted in consumption, and confirm the scope of the persons subject to restrictions; Second, for the departed legal representatives, submit the change certificate to the executing court in a timely manner and apply for the lifting of personal restrictions; Third, the unit should actively fulfill its obligations or negotiate a settlement with the applicant for enforcement to promote the lifting of restrictions; Fourth, if the restrictions are deemed erroneous, an application for correction may be filed in accordance with the law; Fifth, standardize corporate governance to avoid affecting the personal credit of shareholders and senior executives due to irregular operations.

Q2: Will the legal representative be subject to travel restrictions?

Generally, yes. Traveling by plane, taking high-speed trains with the letter "G" as the prefix, and staying in star-rated hotels may all be subject to restrictions, which target the high-consumption behaviors of relevant individuals.

Q3: What should a legal representative who has already resigned do if they are still subject to a high-consumption restriction?
