[Direct answer]In the Beijing area, the revocation of resolutions of the trust beneficiaries' meeting should be judged from two types of defects. The first type is procedural defects: including the convening process that does not comply with the notification time, notification method and content requirements stipulated in the trust documents or laws, the attendance and voting ratio not reaching the statutory or agreed thresholds, the voting method not in accordance with regulations (for example, voting by one person one vote instead of voting according to the proportion of beneficiary rights), and the meeting records and voting results not being formed and preserved in accordance with regulations. These types of defects usually lead to the revocation of resolutions. The second type is content defects: the content of the resolution violates the mandatory provisions of laws and regulations, violates the provisions of the trust documents on the rights of beneficiaries, or damages the legitimate rights and interests of other beneficiaries. In such cases, the resolution may be confirmed as invalid or partially invalid. According to the provisions of the "Trust Law of the People's Republic of China" (implemented on January 1, 2001) on the execution of trust affairs, the trustee shall handle trust affairs in accordance with the provisions of the trust documents, and matters involving decisions by beneficiaries shall convene a beneficiaries' meeting; if the resolution violates laws and regulations or the provisions of the trust documents, the beneficiaries may claim corresponding defects in effectiveness. It is particularly important to pay attention to time limit management: to request the people's court or arbitration institutions to confirm the invalidity of the resolution, revoke the resolution, or confirm the effectiveness of the resolution on beneficiaries who did not participate in the voting, the request shall be made within a certain period of time from the date when the beneficiary knows or should know of the resolution. Otherwise, the right to win the lawsuit will be lost. Therefore, after discovering the defects, the evidence should be fixed and the claim should be made as soon as possible.\nFinancial capital and cross-border transactions involving foreign entitiesThe services in this column can help sort out the claims process.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Law Firm

Henglue Law Firm typically handles disputes over the effectiveness of resolutions in four steps. The first step is to secure the resolution text and procedural evidence: collecting meeting notices, attendance materials, voting records, meeting minutes, the full text of the resolution, and relevant provisions of the trust document. These materials directly determine whether procedural flaws can be established. The second step is to conduct a detailed comparison: comparing the resolution's convening methods, notice periods, attendance ratios, and voting methods with the provisions of the trust document and legal regulations, forming a list of flaws and explaining the basis for them. The third step is to evaluate other remedies: in addition to revoking and confirming the invalidity of the resolution, it is also possible to argue that the resolution does not apply to beneficiaries who did not participate in the voting, or to request the trustee to re-implement the decision-making process by raising written objections. This is often less costly than direct litigation. The fourth step is to design a litigation strategy: based on the urgency of the deadline, decide whether to immediately initiate proceedings. If the deadline for exercising rights is approaching, it is advisable to first send a letter asserting claims and preserving evidence of delivery, while preparing litigation materials. It should be noted that decisions in trust matters are subject to time limits, and delaying action may make it difficult to overturn established facts.Financial capital and cross-border transactions involving foreign entitiesThe path design description in the column can be supplemented.

5. Henglue Law Firm's Reminder

Firstly, the exercise period is a hard constraint, and failure to comply with it will result in the loss of the right to win the case. Secondly, procedural defects require specific evidence to support them, and abstract doubts are insufficient to overturn the resolution. Thirdly, the specific provisions of the trust document take precedence over general practices. Fourthly, the position of other beneficiaries will affect the litigation strategy, so it is recommended to communicate with them in advance. Fifthly, some claims can be resolved through written objections first, without the need for direct litigation. Sixthly, when it involves major property disposals, it may be considered to apply for preservation measures simultaneously.Special services and other casesThe column can also provide instructions on deadline management.

VI. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can the resolution of the beneficiary assembly be revoked if it has defects?

It's not necessarily the case. It requires meeting the statutory revocation conditions. In practice, common revocable situations include: the convening procedures not conforming to the notice time and methods stipulated in the trust documents or by law; the number of attendees and voting ratios not reaching the statutory or agreed thresholds; voting methods not in accordance with regulations; and the content of the resolution violating the mandatory provisions of laws and regulations. If the defects are minor and do not have a substantial impact on the content of the resolution, the court may consider it unnecessary to revoke it. Therefore, when making a claim, it is necessary to prove the existence of the defects and their substantial impact on the content of the resolution, rather than just pointing out minor procedural deviations.Financial capital and cross-border transactions involving foreign countriesThe column can also provide an explanation of the judging criteria.

Q2: I didn't receive the meeting notice. Can I still attend this resolution meeting?

It can be claimed that the resolution is not effective or that the resolution should be revoked. If the beneficiary does not receive the notice of the meeting within the prescribed time limit and participate in the voting, the resolution shall not be effective against him/her, and he/she may request the court to revoke it. Practical suggestions: First, fix the evidence of not receiving the notice, such as sending and receiving records and communication records; Second, check whether the notice period and delivery method stipulated in the trust documents have been violated; Third, pay attention to the exercise period. The claim should be raised within a corresponding period from the date when the beneficiary knows or should know about the resolution. Otherwise, the right to win the lawsuit may be lost.

Q3: What is the deadline for revoking the resolution?

This is a statutory special time limit, typically one year from the date when the resolution is known or should be known. This time limit is shorter than the ordinary litigation statute of limitations, so it must be strictly managed. Practical suggestions: First, immediately confirm the time of knowledge in writing after receiving or learning about the resolution; Second, calculate the time limit simultaneously and set reminders; Third, raise objections to the trustee in writing within the time limit and retain the delivery certificate. Even if the negotiation fails, a record of the claim will be formed; Fourth, if necessary, initiate legal proceedings in the court or arbitration institution within the time limit.Special services and other casesThe column can also provide instructions on deadline management.

Q4: If the content of the resolution violates the trust document, can it be directly deemed invalid?

It's not necessarily the case. The nature of the violation needs to be distinguished. If the content of the resolution violates the mandatory provisions of laws and regulations, it may be deemed invalid; if it violates the provisions of the trust document, it usually involves whether it damages the rights and interests of other beneficiaries and whether the trustee should handle trust affairs in accordance with the trust document, which may be deemed partially invalid or revocable. In practice, it's more common to disapply the relevant provisions or revoke part of the resolution. It is recommended to clearly point out the specific provisions and nature of the violation when making a claim, and explain the specific impact on one's own rights and interests, so as to enhance the credibility of the claim.

Q5: Do the other beneficiaries agree to the revocation? Will it have any impact?

The attitudes of other beneficiaries may affect the choice of claim strategies and procedures, but they do not constitute legal obstacles. It is legally permissible to withdraw a claim unilaterally; if the majority of beneficiaries acknowledge the defects and are willing to claim together, it is usually more conducive to reaching a consistent adjudicative conclusion; if the majority of beneficiaries object, more sufficient evidence may be needed to prove the substantial impact of the defects in the case. In addition, it should be noted that the resolution may involve the interests of some beneficiaries, and it is necessary to distinguish the situations where the rights and interests of different beneficiaries are affected, and to claim separately when necessary.Financial capital and cross-border transactions involving foreign entitiesThe column can also provide guidance on how to choose a path.
