How could gathers the banquet earnest money to have one’s wish

Hongkou District residents Mr. Wan reflected: In September, 2008, I settle in Marriott Hongqiao hotel October, 2009 value 180,000 Yuan wedding banquet banquets. When signs the contract, the hotel request gathers 50% “earnest money”, we have paid as charged 90,000 Yuan. Afterward, we discovered that what the hotel draws up is “deposit” receipt, at that time has not cared. One month later, as a result of some kind of reason, we must send back the banquet. After the hotel side is entrusted with something the transfer, unexpectedly must buckle our 45,000 Yuan penalties, this enables us to accept. Mediated after the Changning District consumer association, the hotel has deducted 36,000 Yuan achievement “reservation”, requested our one to expend in the hotel. This matter cannot completely solve. We went to the other hotels to inquire situation, discovery some collect “intention gold”, several thousand Yuan. Do I have doubts very much, subscribe a banquet, charge name such many?

Newspaper learns through practice reporter Zhang Chi

Be responsible for mediate the Changning District consumer association Ms. Shi of this dispute to tell the reporter, this dispute exposed the hotel in the reservation banquet operation not the place of standard.

According to “Guarantee Law” concerned requirements, when ordering the banquet, the hotel may gather “earnest money” to the consumer, but do not surpass the aggregate amount 20%. Moreover the earnest money both has restraint to both sides, if the consumer cancels the contract for some reason, then the hotel is authorized not to return the earnest money, but if the hotel cancels the contract for some reason, then wants the double compensation. The hotel after gathering Mr. Wan the earnest money, actually draws up “deposit” receipt, this is being unfair, this money has the legal effect is different.

Ms. Shi said that at that time mediated after on the spot, both sides signed the agreement, the hotel side have deferred to the stipulation to return have surpassed 20% parts, but that 36,000 Yuan discussed an expense form with Mr. Wan. So-called “reservation”, is actually this expense form name, is only hotel own name.

The reporter has carried on the investigation by ordinary citizen’s status afterward, discovered that some hotels when ordering the banquet charge name and charge way are really different. Some three-star hotel request pays 5000 Yuan are used to elect to subscribe the date “picking a lucky day expense” first, afterward when signing the contract pays 30% earnest moneys. Some hotel requests to pay fixed amount “earnest money”, after signing the contract, when the distance conducts date one month pays the entire funds directly.

Question which exists in view of the wedding banquet reservation, the reporter also interviewed the city to disappear to guarantee the committee law and theory research department assistant director Tang Jiansheng. He believes that the hotel should achieve when wedding banquet reservation is legitimate and reasonable. First, regardless of being hotel’s form contract specific method must conform to the laws and regulations stipulation, cannot speak one’s mind. For instance the earnest money must have the written contract, the amount cannot surpass the total price 20%; If the hotel has charged 50% fee, that is not an earnest money, but is the advanced payment. In other words, if the consumer breaks a contract, hotel may request the consumer according to its loss payment penalty, but has no right not to return this money. Second, hotel’s behavior must be fair. The marriage is life important matter, if there is engagement to relieve, the wedding banquet is forced to cancel, this regarding the consumer is a very unfortunate matter. If the hotel must seek money, that is “puts salt in the wound”, is extremely immoral. Tang Jiansheng said that after receiving the consumer cancels the formal notice of wedding banquet, the hotel should do everything possible to sell. If there is not lost, should not confiscate the earnest money of consumer; If there is loss, should also discuss the concrete penalty amount with the consumer realistically.

“11” approach, many young people are preparing the wedding ceremony. The concerned personnels reminded the consumer, when ordering the banquet, should understand that the related laws, clarified the fee item and sign regular contract, specially the related bill must maintain consistent with the contract, this can safeguard own legitimate rights and interests. But the hotel should also the standard related reservation charge, to the consumer a clear and clear consumption environment.

“Remits corrupt official pardoned crime” and compromise (figure)

　　The official property reported that the public announcement system appealed 20 years have not had the breakthrough slowly, have no alternative but saying that are the heavy awkwardness of Chinese Society. “Nanfang zhoumo” reported that to eradicate the psychological contradictions of some officials avoids the social agitation, has some scholars to propose that carries on to remit to the official existing problem of corruption, to receive in exchange appearing of official property declaration public announcement system. A jurist even believes that “the Chinese people must sacrifice one time, forgives one chapter”. This suggestion has caused the huge dispute in the reader and net friend.

　　With many readers and net friend are the same, the author also incomparably hates to corrupt official’s corrupt practices, but I am actually right “remits corrupt official pardoned crime” the suggestion to lift both hands approval. Some scholars believe that remits corrupt official pardoned crime to be possible to trade the official community to the support of official property declaration public announcement system. The opponents oppositionally interrogated: Does the public property which is plundered by the corrupt official such consider as finished? You ask that worker farmer can comply?

　　Argued that the bilateral most essential difference lies, the populace and corrupt official are at can the official community achieve a compromise – populace forgive corrupt official’s corruption, agreed that remits their pardoned crimes; The officials agreed that “sacrifice” own property right of privacy, under legal request truthfully public property (some corrupt officials must deliver corrupt spoiled obtained ill-gotten money before this truthfully, and guaranteed that from now on will take part in government certainly honestly, will otherwise receive unprecedented severe penalty). If the populace and officials are willing to compromise, “remits corrupt official pardoned crime” to receive in exchange for appearing of official property declaration public announcement system, has the reality feasibility. Otherwise, so long as has a side not to be willing to compromise, this suggestion forever difficultly will put into practice.

　　Reported the popular feelings which the network opinion reflected to look from the media, in the populace wanted the accommodationist as if not to be many, but according to the sample investigation of NPC deputy, 97% officials to the property reported that the public announcement system had the opposing opinion. Obviously, at least in the present, populace and official on “remits corrupt official pardoned crime” and official property reported that the public announcement achieves the compromise the possibility not to be big. Like this refuses to compromise, the official property reported that the public announcement system cannot establish slowly, simultaneously the corrupt government official because of lacking the effective containment of system is increasingly fierce, has possibility formation “corrupt more and more serious – corrupt official are getting more and more – the official property public announcement’s resistance is getting bigger and bigger – corrupt is getting more and more serious” the vicious circle, the consequence is really inconceivable.

　　Presents the present this kind everyone unable to convince who and no one is willing to make the least bit concessions the deadlock, lacks the compromise spirit to have the relations with the Chinese tradition’s political culture greatly. Thunder Yihe Ma Licheng talked about in a scientific dialog, in Chinese history reformed repeatedly belongs to the defeat, the including common lesson, was all quarters which the reform involved lacks the compromise spirit, “lost the benefit a side to be uncompromising, obtains a benefit side to be also uncompromising, did not yield”, caused to miss the reform good opportunity repeatedly, the social contradiction intensifies unceasingly, had the period turmoil finally and even changes from one dynasty to another. This kind of analysis is very have a head on shoulder.

　　Although Chinese traditional politics culture also stressed that “and for expensive” and “not does unto other, does not do to others” and “extremely wisely, but said doctrine of the mean”, what but the people felt and practice to be more was “struggle philosophy”. But in the modern politics and in the sociological field of vision, the compromise is the conflict resolution, realizes the harmonious one kind of adjustment mechanism, is the modern society political life essential one public rationality. Buchanan has said that “a political system may not satisfy all people’s desires, facing the inevitable conflict, humanity has two kinds of choices, or violence, either compromise.”British politics thinker Lord Acton has said that “compromise is the political soul, if not it completely.”Politics intrinsic needs to compromise, reform also intrinsic needs the compromise spirit.

　　Initiates the compromise spirit in the social politics reform, must first be explicit, the reform will not be “smashes an old world” and “in one night to trade the type revolution another day”, but must in the rational treatment historic tradition and in the realistic order foundation, gradually the change these hindrance social developments unreasonable factors. Reforms must touch some people’s benefits inevitably, some benefits are reasonable, but needs to make the concessions for the reform, some, although unreasonable, but sometimes it forms has the complex objective cause and historical reason – for instance official bribery and corruption, although with his qualities related, big and lacks the system environment which the supervision restricts to concern with since long the official authority. Regarding is reformed the benefit which touches, is not suitable issues an order eliminates unconditionally, but should carry on the compensation by the suitable way to the interest player or “buying off”. Does this to reduce the reform resistance, the receiving in exchange interest player to the reform the support. Thus, is reformed touches benefit the community, already has to lose and to have obtained, down to can avoid or “a side eating another side”, either “mutually wounded” “perishing together” the result, found the reform program, although does not satisfy completely actually on the whole can accept finally.

　　The author does not dare to hope that the populace and in the official short-term can on “remit corrupt official pardoned crime”, to release the official property to report the public announcement system achieves the compromise, but, if through to this public topic discussion and discrimination, the people can many strengthen some communications, the coordinated rationality, raises one kind of consultative and compromise energetic makings gradually, then was still a good fortune.
