Recently, DeHeng Beijing successfully represented a client enterprise in an administrative litigation concerning a dispute over an administrative agreement related to a public-private-partnership (PPP) project, helping the client recover nearly RMB 300 million in losses.

The case arose from a heating infrastructure PPP project between the DeHeng client and a local government, involving the performance of an administrative agreement—a relatively uncommon type of administrative litigation. Moreover, the disputed issues in this case presented significant theoretical and practical complexities. To address these challenges, DeHeng lawyers communicated repeatedly with the client on case details, conducted on-site inspections of the project, and engaged in negotiations with the defendant local government. At the same time, DeHeng lawyers comprehensively organized the case facts, submitted multiple sets of critical evidence, constructed a complete chain of evidence, and effectively proved key facts. Relying on a series of legal provisions, they rebutted each of the defendant’s defenses with legal analysis and factual refutation. Through vigorous advocacy, the court ultimately upheld the client’s core claims and ordered the defendant local government to pay investment costs, corresponding interest, appraisal fees, audit fees, and other losses totaling nearly RMB 300 million.
