Employee cooperation obligations in internal investigations: The boundary between the enterprise’s management rights and employees’ right to privacy

Internal investigations are an important tool for enterprises to verify signs of violations, protect assets, and maintain workplace order. In this process, enterprises often need employees (“ Employees ”) to provide information, explain matters, or submit documents. Enterprises may also need to inspect devices and accounts used for work.   However, an employer’s rights to manage, direct, and supervise are not absolute. These rights do not mean that Employees must comply with every investigation request. Nor do they automatically allow an enterprise to access every device, account, or item of data used by Employees.

Determining civil or commercial dispute classification for bank loan recovery claims arising from credit contract breaches by household business owners

When a bank files a lawsuit against an individual who is a household business owner to demand debt repayment under a credit contract, determining whether this constitutes a civil dispute or a commercial dispute does not solely depend on the borrower’s status as a “household business owner”. The Court needs to examine the purpose of the loan, the contents of the credit contract, and whether the loan serves business activities for profit-making purposes.     1. Legal status of “household business owners” in dispute relations In practice, an individual may simultaneously hold multiple legal capacities. That person may act as a household business owner in selling goods, providing services, or manufacturing; however, they may also act as an individual borrowing money to serve personal, family, or consumer needs. Therefore, the mere fact that an individual who is a household business owner borrows money from a Bank through a credit contract is insufficient to conclude that all disputes ari...
