SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Construction project legal teams face complex disputes involving migrant worker wage liability, actual constructor claims, project payment priority rights, jurisdiction challenges, and major accident liability allocation. This Skill provides a structured rule system of 50 codified defense rules with precise statutory citations, eliminating the need to reconstruct legal reasoning from scratch for each case. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Ten Rule Modules: Covers migrant worker wage repayment, apparent agency and project seals, construction payment defenses, procedural strategy, actual constructor claims, priority right to compensation, jurisdiction objections, electronic evidence and acceleration causation chains, hazardous engineering accident liability, and criminal-civil crossover. - Litigation Templates: Includes a six-part complaint structure, evidence chain frameworks (four-track service with parallel numbering), property preservation application structure, and 24-hour emergency response checklists. - Statutory Index: Maps every rule to specific articles of the Civil Code, Construction Law, Criminal Law, judicial interpretations, and ministerial regulations. - Use Case: When a developer refuses payment claiming quality defects after occupying the building, apply rules R-NEW-02 and R14 to invoke the unauthorized-use waiver doctrine under Construction Judicial Interpretation (I) Article 14 and shift the burden of proof. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to analyze a construction dispute scenario, such as a general contractor facing migrant worker wage claims under an illegal subcontract, and request the applicable defense rules with statutory citations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I defend a general contractor against migrant worker wage claims?

First determine subcontract legality. Legal subcontracting triggers advance repayment capped at unpaid project funds under Regulation Article 30, while illegal subcontracting or affiliation triggers unlimited joint liability under Article 36. Paid-in-full defenses only support recourse, not liability exclusion.

What rules apply when a developer uses a building before acceptance inspection?

Unauthorized use before acceptance triggers the irreversible waiver rule under Construction Judicial Interpretation (I) Article 14, barring quality defenses except for foundation and main structure defects. Commercial operation counts as the highest form of actual use.

How is liability allocated in hazardous engineering collapse accidents?

The five-party allocation assigns the specialist subcontractor 35-45%, the developer 30-40%, the general contractor 10-15%, the supervisor 5-10%, and the monitoring unit 5-8%. Joint liability arises under Safety Regulation Articles 24 and 26 and Construction Law Article 45.

Can an actual constructor sue the developer directly for unpaid project funds?

Yes, under Construction Judicial Interpretation (I) Article 43, which statutorily breaks contract privity. The developer's liability is limited to the scope of unpaid project funds, and the general contractor should be joined as a co-defendant or third party.

What are the limitations of this construction legal rule system?

The rules reflect training accumulated through a fixed date and cite specific statutory versions, such as the current six-month priority right period versus historical provisions. Users must verify that cited articles remain in force and adapt ratio ranges to local court practice.
