Beijing-based practice
The first question is whether the challenge concerns an enforcement measure or a substantive right in the property that may exclude enforcement. The two routes differ in their scope of review, evidential focus and subsequent remedies. Choosing the wrong route may affect procedural deadlines and the opportunity to seek relief.
Liu Mengyang and this service
Liu Mengyang assesses rights, evidence and procedural routes for enforcement objections, reconsideration, supervision and enforcement objection litigation. Initial assessment identifies the challenged measure or property, service dates and the scope of the proposed engagement.
- Third-party claims to exclude enforcement: assess the source and acquisition date of rights, payment and possession evidence, and their relationship to the enforcement creditor's claim.
- Responses by enforcement creditors: assess the third party's claim, registration and transaction records, and organise the relevant claims, defences and evidence.
- Remedies after a ruling: assess the conditions for reconsideration, objection litigation or supervision, the stages of representation and required documents.
- Agree the stages of representation, work, fees and coordination of subsequent procedures before engagement.

Representative matters
- Power-company enforcement remedies
Handled a series of enforcement-objection, reconsideration and supervision matters. The Hebei High People's Court issued a reconsideration ruling remanding the matter.
- Enforcement objections, reconsideration, addition and supervision
Handled objections, reconsideration, applications to add judgment debtors and supervision matters, addressing ownership, responsible parties, legality of measures and procedural remedies.
Threshold questions
- The matter has entered court enforcement proceedings.
- A party, interested person or third party considers that an enforcement measure infringes its lawful rights or interests.
- The appropriate route depends on the object of the challenge, the asserted right and the time at which the objection is raised.
Common matters
- A procedural objection to attachment, freezing, deduction, auction or another enforcement measure
- A third party seeking to exclude enforcement on the basis of ownership, purchaser rights or another substantive right
- Assessment of enforcement reconsideration, enforcement objection litigation or another remedy after a ruling on the objection
Typical process
- Confirm the enforcing court, enforcement case number and the specific measure concerned.
- Distinguish an objection to an enforcement measure from a third-party objection concerning the property under enforcement.
- Prepare a written application organised around the relief sought, facts, grounds and evidence.
- After receiving the ruling, check its type, service date and deadline. For enforcement objection litigation, assess the competent court, parties and claims under the 2025 judicial interpretation.
Documents to prepare
- Identity documents and an address for service
- The enforceable instrument, enforcement rulings, notices, attachment or disposal materials and service records
- Evidence of the source and time of acquisition of the asserted right and of relevant performance
- An evidence list matched to each specific request in the objection
Boundaries and risks
- Do not conflate a procedural objection to an enforcement measure with a claim based on a substantive right.
- An objection and any subsequent remedy are generally subject to procedural deadlines, which should be assessed promptly by reference to service of the relevant documents.
- The outcome depends on the nature of the asserted right, the strength of the evidence, the time of acquisition and the stage of enforcement.
- The Beijing location label does not by itself determine the enforcing court or jurisdiction over enforcement objection litigation. The particular enforcement case and applicable rules remain controlling.
