Contracts Law

The World Bank's Doing Business Survey assesses data on contract enforcement. Results for the People's Republic of China (PRC) can be found at the link below.

The Contract Law stipulates that contracts between investors, financial institutions and corporate issuers on the bond market fall into three categories.

  • Trading Trust Contracts,
  • Agency Appointment Contracts, and
  • Contracts for Loan of Money

Investor rights to compensation are determined according to the category in which the contract falls. The web link below details the liabilities and remedies available for breach of contract.
