On June 27, 2017, V Geology Joint Stock Company appealed to the Court trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Appeal to amend the First Instance Judgment for reasons below: The plaintiff violated the contract, stopped mining on September 13, 2014 due to conflicts between members trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the Company and the plaintiff's family without noticing the respondent. There was no labor dispute between the plaintiff and the respondent. The plaintiff committed breach trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the contract for not selecting and providing evidence trực tiếp bóng đá k+ skilled and experienced Chinese workers while the unskilled workers must prioritize the employment trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Vietnamese. The respondent pledged the property based on the verbal consent trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the plaintiff, shown in the 5th Contract Completion Record signed by the plaintiff’s representative. The plaintiff sold Mrs. Y1 some machines for Mrs. Y1 to resell them to the respondent. The Court trực tiếp bóng đá k+ First Instance was against the law when forcing the respondent to pay the tax refund, not based on the asset price at the time trực tiếp bóng đá k+ appraisal and infringed a part trực tiếp bóng đá k+ rights and legitimate interests trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the respondent when only partially accepting counterclaim while the respondent provides sufficient evidence just solely based on the reason that the respondent used wire cutters and air compressors leading to the high quotation.

At the appellate trial, the respondent presents his opinion as stated in the appeal and requests the Appellate Trial Panel to consider the following issues: Contract No. 15 has not been performed. The Chinese side arbitrarily stopped mining while the Company had to prioritize the employment trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Vietnamese labor. Advances and construction investment are counted twice. The Court trực tiếp bóng đá k+ First Instance’s acceptance to the tax refund amount which was brought into during the trial is considered as beyond the plaintiff's initial petition request, which forces the respondent to pay twice and charge the court fee inadequately. The valuation is incorrect, although the respondent did not use the assets, the respondent is presumably deemed as using the assets. Circular trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Ministry trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Finance at the time trực tiếp bóng đá k+ valuation is not applied. The fault trực tiếp bóng đá k+ both parties has not been fully considered. The respondent proposed to make restitution according to the percentage, based on the Contract Completion Record signed between the two parties. The plaintiff acknowledged and recorded in the report that the plaintiff intended to divide the assets to sell them to Mrs. Y1 but failed.

Opinions trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the plaintiff at the appellate trial: Advances for investment (according to the cross-examination report dated November 25, 2016). The respondent violated all requests for Chinese workers.

At the appellate trial, the representative trực tiếp bóng đá k+ P Joint Stock Commercial Bank proposes to repay the debt in accordance with the law.

The representative trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the High-level People's Procuracy in Ho Chi Minh City expressed the viewpoint trực tiếp bóng đá k+ resolving the case as follows: The Court trực tiếp bóng đá k+ First Instance partially accepted the plaintiff's petition request, partially accepted the request in accordance with laws and regulations. The respondent appealed without any new evidence or argument Proposing the Appellate Trial Panel not to accept the respondent's appeal and uphold the First Instance Judgment.

JUDGEMENT trực tiếp bóng đá k+ THE COURT

[1] The legal representative trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the plaintiff, the respondent and the person with related rights and obligations are absent but they have authorized representatives to participate in the proceedings at the trial. The Trial Panel agrees with the request trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the Prosecutor and the decision to bring the case to trial in accordance with the law.

[2] Plaintiff and respondent confirm that they concluded Contract No. 03, Contract No. 12, Contract Addendum No. 12A and Contract No. 15. The time trực tiếp bóng đá k+ dispute agreed by both parties was in September 2014. The plaintiff sued on June 20, 2016, so it means within the prescriptive period for initiating lawsuits under Article 319 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the Commercial Law 2005.

[3] In Official Letter No. 798/SLDTBXH-LDTL dated May 10, 2017 on providing information on granting work permits to foreigners at Company V (hereinafter referred to as Official Letter 798), the Department trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Labor, War Valids and Social Affairs (hereinafter referred to as Dolisa) affirmed: From August 2013 to September 2014, Mr. Luong Ngoc K1 went to the Dolisa to work directly to apply for a work permit for 03 foreign workers (Chinese nationality) but the dossier still lacks 02 items trực tiếp bóng đá k+ documents as prescribed in the annual need for employment trực tiếp bóng đá k+ foreigners to register with the Dolisa, the professional qualifications trực tiếp bóng đá k+ people labor or certification trực tiếp bóng đá k+ at least 05 years trực tiếp bóng đá k+ professional experience certified by a foreign competent authority. Dolisa instructed and requested Mr. Luong Ngoc K1 to add 02 missing items. During the period from August 2013 to September 2014, Dolisa did not accept the application and did not issue work permits to Company V. After that, Company V sent the Official Letter No. 29/GEO-KT to the Dolisa asking guidance on the procedures for granting work permits to foreigners working at the Company.   On August 19, 2013, Dolisa issued Official Letter No. 2788/SLDTBXH-VLATLD on guidelines for procedures for granting work permits to foreigners working in Vietnam to the Company. By the time trực tiếp bóng đá k+ signing Official Letter 798, Dolisa had not granted work permits to Company V.

[4] Based on the contents trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Official Letter 798, temporary residence registration does not replace the obligation to complete the procedures for work permit application for foreign workers working in Vietnam and there is no basis for accepting the respondent’s claim that that it has fulfilled its obligations such as: applying for a work permit for skilled and experienced Chinese technicians and workers, facilitating the fulfillment trực tiếp bóng đá k+ all obligations in terms trực tiếp bóng đá k+ temporary residence registration for Chinese technical workers. The respondent violated Article 5, Section 5.1 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Contract No. 12, which requires Company V to arrange legal procedures and dossiers in accordance with the laws trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Vietnam to apply for work permits for technical experts and workers trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Company K. After working and being guided by Dolisa trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Ninh Thuan Province the procedure for applying for work permits for foreign workers, but the respondent did not urgently supplement the missing documents and notify the plaintiff for coordination.

[5] The respondent affirmed that the plaintiff violated the obligation to select and introduce the respondent technical experts and workers, provide documents proving that Chinese technical workers have suitable qualifications or experience in order for the respondent to apply for work permits (as agreed in Section 5.2 Article 5 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Contract No. 12) but the respondent cannot provide documents and evidence to support this argument. Meanwhile, under the contract signed by two contracting parties, the respondent is bound to apply for work permits. Therefore, the Court trực tiếp bóng đá k+ First Instance has valid grounds for determining that Company K does not violate Section 5.2 Article 5 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Contract No. 12.

[6] The respondent stated that the proximate cause trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the dispute arose from the internal conflict trực tiếp bóng đá k+ members and the plaintiff's family, causing the plaintiff to stop mining on September 13, 2014, without notifying the respondent. This argument is not well-grounded because the respondent, instead trực tiếp bóng đá k+ relying on the mutual agreement to determine whether the partner committed violate, denied is responsibility. In fact, in September 2014, the plaintiff continued sending workers to work and settle disputes, but failed to do so because these workers did not comply with stay regulations under Vietnamese law. The Appellate Trial Panel has no basis to accept the respondent's appeal, claiming determination trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the plaintiff's breach trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the contract due to the stop trực tiếp bóng đá k+ mining.

[7] The respondent acknowledges that all equipment and machinery for mining and operating white block stones at T2 quarry are under the ownership trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Company K under the provisions trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Contract No. 12 and Contract Addendum No. 12A. Without the consent trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Company K, the respondent arbitrarily used the assets trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Company K to mortgage at the Bank to secure the loan trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the respondent before the dispute occurrence (the mortgage in June 2014, the dispute in September 2014). Thus, the respondent has violated the contract and infringed upon the plaintiff's property rights.

[8] The respondent stated that the plaintiff's mortgage trực tiếp bóng đá k+ assets at the Bank was entirely based on the consensus trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the plaintiff's representative, affirming that the agreement was only verbal. The plaintiff knew and approved that, through the fact that the plaintiff representative, Mr. Y signed the 5^thContract Completion Record, agreed to compensate with some machines, equipment and for the respondent to use, the rest trực tiếp bóng đá k+ machines and equipment were sold to Mrs. Y1 and the respondent is free to use these machines and equipment when the sale between Mrs. Y1 and the respondent was completed. The respondent's statement has no valid ground because the plaintiff does not confirm that the plaintiff agreed to let the respondent to pledge the plaintiff's assets to the Bank as the mortgage. Moreover, the 5th Contract Completion Record was recorded on July 9, 2015 after the respondent arbitrarily pledged the plaintiff's assets to the Bank and in this Record there was no content showing the plaintiff’s consent for the respondent to mortgage the plaintiff's assets. On the other hand, the respondent did not have documents and evidence to prove that the plaintiff sold machines and equipment to Mrs. Y1 and the respondent bought Mrs. Y1's machines and equipment before the time trực tiếp bóng đá k+ mortgage to the Bank as stated by the respondent. Therefore, the Court trực tiếp bóng đá k+ First Instance had valid grounds for determining that the respondent has violated Contract No. 12 and Contract Addendum No. 12A, directly infringing on the legal rights and interests trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Company K. The Appellate Trial Panel does not accept the respondent's appeal in determining that the respondent has no error when arbitrarily pledging the plaintiff's assets for a loan.

[9] The respondent stated that at the first instance trial, the plaintiff representative requested the respondent to refund the tax but the Court trực tiếp bóng đá k+ First Instance did not verify but accepted the lawsuit petition as an infringement trực tiếp bóng đá k+ rights and interests trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the respondent and beyond the initial lawsuit request. The respondent's opinion has no basis because the tax refund is the advance paid by the plaintiff and is included in the plaintiff's claim. The First Instance Judgment states the plaintiff's request, which requires the respondent to pay the plaintiff VND 367,200,209 for tax refund trực tiếp bóng đá k+ import trực tiếp bóng đá k+ 02 stone cutters and 02 loaders. At the first instance trial, the respondent confirms and agrees to pay the plaintiff this amount so the Court trực tiếp bóng đá k+ First Instance does not have to verify. The plaintiff requires completion and resolution trực tiếp bóng đá k+ all contracts between the two parties and issues related to the plaintiff's assets in contract and contract addendum, in which the tax refund is given in general content, it is not a separate issue, so the Court trực tiếp bóng đá k+ First Instance’s resolution is deemed not to exceed the original lawsuit petition. In addition, the First Instance Trial Panel did not record that the respondent has to return to the plaintiff any other refund. Therefore, the Appellate Trial Panel has no valid ground to accept the respondent's appeal regarding the request regarding the tax refund amount that the respondent must pay to the plaintiff as stated in the First Instance Judgment.

[10] In the Asset Valuation Record from March 21, 2017 to March 31, 2017 signed by the parties, the Asset Valuation Council determined the prices trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the assets used by the respondent from January 2014 to September 2014 and from January 2014 to March 31, 2017, determine the prices trực tiếp bóng đá k+ unused assets currently managed by respondent from January 2014 to September 2014 and value trực tiếp bóng đá k+ assets at the time trực tiếp bóng đá k+ valuation on March 31, 2017. The respondent admitted the respondent imported machinery and facilities under the contract, having pledged all assets to the Bank to borrow money in June 2014 while Clause 2.1 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Article 2 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the Contract No. 12 recognizing that all machines, equipment and facilities are 100% new, so it was appropriate for the First Instance Trial Panel to take asset valuation result from January 2014 to September 2014 to force the respondent to pay the plaintiffs accordingly (If determining prices according to the asset status at the time trực tiếp bóng đá k+ valuation is unfair because the asset has been worn out over the time the respondent exploited or used it, self-managed or mortgaged. Particularly, air compressors and wire cutters are listed in the group trực tiếp bóng đá k+ assets that the respondent used in the Asset Valuation Record which has been confirmed by the respondent. Therefore, the Appellate Trial Panel does not accept the respondent's appeal that the respondent must buy the plaintiff's machines and equipment not based on the price at the time trực tiếp bóng đá k+ appraisal and the respondent had to pay high price while the respondent did not use a wire cutter, air compressors.

[11] The respondent countered the request to force the plaintiff to pay the debts payable to the State trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Vietnam according to the agreement in Clause 5.2 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Article 5 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Contract No. 12 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ VND 664,660,566, compensate the respondent under the agreement at Article 4 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Contract No. 12 is VND 3,835,000,000 (trực tiếp bóng đá k+ which VND 100,000,000 is the cost trực tiếp bóng đá k+ smashing 2 machine foundations, foundations and walls which were illegally built by the plaintiff in Industrial Cluster I). Clause 5.2 Article 5 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Contract No. 12 determines that the respondent is responsible for reimbursing the natural resource tax, environmental protection fee and related tax obligations (if any) on the volume trực tiếp bóng đá k+ paid block stones trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the respondent. Therefore, the Court trực tiếp bóng đá k+ First Instance has correctly identified the amounts that the plaintiff has to pay to the respondent, in particular: the plaintiff participating in the cooperation contract from January 2014 to September 2014, so the plaintiff should incur land rent (7,000m2 x VND 357 /m2: 12 months) x 9 months = VND 1,874,250, charge for granting the mineral mining right (VND 834,363,747/year: 12,000m3/year) x 6000m3 x 70%: 12 months x 9 months = VND 219,020,483 (land rent is based on the land lease contract between People's Committee trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Ninh Thuan Province and Company V, the charge for granting mining right is based on the Decision No. 2662 dated December 19, 2014 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ People's Committee trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Ninh Thuan Province). [12] From January 2015 to October 2015, the respondent proceeded to mine stones itself, so the Court trực tiếp bóng đá k+ First Instance had valid grounds for not accepting the respondent's request to force the plaintiff to pay the charge for granting mining right in this period a total trực tiếp bóng đá k+ VND 243,356,093.

[13] According to the confirmation trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Tax Department trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Ninh Thuan Province, the amount trực tiếp bóng đá k+ late payment trực tiếp bóng đá k+ charge for granting stone mining right in 2014 - 2015 was VND 173,964,841. In 2015, the respondent extracted stones by itself, so the First Instance Trial Panel was well-grounded when only forcing the plaintiff to pay the respondent a half trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the amount determined by the Tax Department, which is VND 86,982,420 and not accepting the request trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the respondent to force the plaintiff to pay VND 124,695,662.

[14] Article 4 Contract No. 12 provides for payment methods: the respondent pays 70% trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the volume trực tiếp bóng đá k+ finished stone products during the contract performance period, the plaintiff is responsible for paying 30% trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the volume trực tiếp bóng đá k+ block stones to the respondent if the exploitation bench is not enough to exploit 30% trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the block stone output; in the case that the plaintiff does not reach the minimum output trực tiếp bóng đá k+ 500m3/month, the plaintiff is responsible for paying the respondent in cash with a value trực tiếp bóng đá k+ VND 3,000,000/m3 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the volume trực tiếp bóng đá k+ blocks that the plaintiff cannot extract. However, after the time trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the dispute (September 2014), the respondent managed and used the plaintiff's machinery to mine stones, so only the claim for the amount payable to the respondent under Article 4 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Contract No. 12 before the termination trực tiếp bóng đá k+ cooperation in the respondent's counterclaim (September 2014) shall be considered. According to the table trực tiếp bóng đá k+ debt comparison on November 3, 2014, determined from October 1, 2014 to October 31, 2014, the respondent owes plaintiff VND 74,750,416 and the respondent also has to pay 70% trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the volume trực tiếp bóng đá k+ block stone to the plaintiff. In addition, the respondent also admitted non-payment trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the accepted volume trực tiếp bóng đá k+ block stones at the yard to the plaintiff. Thus, there is no basis to determine that the plaintiff must pay the amounts under Article 4 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Contract No. 12 to the respondent. On the other hand, the respondent committed a breach trực tiếp bóng đá k+ contract, so the plaintiff does not have to compensate for the amounts under Article 4 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Contract No. 12. The First Instance Trial Panel correctly did not accept the respondent's request to claim compensation VND 3,735,000,000 from the plaintiff.

[15] According to the Asset Valuation Record, the cost trực tiếp bóng đá k+ smashing the two machine foundations, foundations and walls illegally built at Industrial Cluster I by the plaintiff is VND 12,000,000 so the Court trực tiếp bóng đá k+ First Instance had valid grounds for not accepting the request trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the respondent forcing the plaintiff to pay VND 100,000,000 but only accepting VND 12,000,000.

[16] The respondent has sufficient documents proving the fact that the respondent assisted the plaintiff to build houses for workers, roofs, bathhouses, toilets and water tanks with a total cost trực tiếp bóng đá k+ 271,362,200 VND, so the Court trực tiếp bóng đá k+ First Instance was reasonable for accepting the respondent's counterclaim on this cost.

[17] In total amount trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the counterclaim trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the respondent trực tiếp bóng đá k+ VND 4,499,660,566, the Court trực tiếp bóng đá k+ First Instance accepted VND 591,013,353 (including VND 1,874,250, VND 219,020,483, VND 86,982,420, VND 271,136,200 and VND 12,000,000), which are fully and satisfactorily resolved. The Appellate Trial Panel has no basis to accept the respondent's appeal regarding the request to accept the whole trực tiếp bóng đá k+ respondent's counterclaim.

[18] The Trial Panel does not consider the respondent's request at the appellate trial on the court fee for the tax refund because this request is not stated in the appeal. On the other hand, the first instance court fee has been determined by the Court trực tiếp bóng đá k+ First Instance based on the petition and the counterclaim request, calculated on the total value trực tiếp bóng đá k+ assets that the two parties must deliver to each other, which is consistent with the provisions trực tiếp bóng đá k+ law.

[19] From the above analysis, the Appellate Trial Panel does not accept the entire appeal trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the respondent.

[20] The view trực tiếp bóng đá k+ representative trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the Superior People's Procuracy in Ho Chi Minh City should be accepted as it is suitable with the view trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the Appellate Trial Panel.

[21] The respondent's appeal is not accepted, so the respondent must bear the court appellate business fee in accordance with Clause 1 Article 148 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the Civil Procedure Code and Clause 1 Article 29 Resolution No. 326/2016/NQ-UBTVQH14 dated December 30, 2016 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the Standing Committee trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the National Assembly on court fees and charges and collection, exemption, reduction, collection, remittance, management and use thereof and the list trực tiếp bóng đá k+ court fees and charges issued together with this Resolution.

[22] In the decision part trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the First Instance Judgment, the First Instance Trial Panel writes "Article 24, Clauses 1, 4 and 5 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the Ordinance on Court Fees and Court Fees", which is inaccurate. So, the Appellate Trial Panel revises it to "Clauses 1, 4 and 5 Article 27 trực tiếp bóng đá k+ the Ordinance on Fees and Charges trực tiếp bóng đá k+ Court No. 10/2009/UBTVQH12 dated February 27, 2009".

Based on the above-mentioned facts and matters,
