Guangzhou lawyer Zhang Jing answers: Yes. The world is so big that normally speaking, if you want to invest, you should sign a formal investment contract, stipulating the investment project, investment method, sharing ratio, sharing time and other matters. If the investment money has been paid, but you don't even know what project to invest in, it is obvious that the investment purpose has not been achieved, and you can sue for a refund of the investment money. In the following case, Nie saw that Li was very capable and wanted to invest in multiple engineering projects. was taken to a number of construction sites by Li to see it, and he paid 500,000 yuan in investment. The parties did not agree on anything. Later, Nie sued for the refund of the investment money, and Li argued that the money had been spent on a park landscape engineering project and needed to be settled before the refund could be made. After the trial, the court found that there was no evidence to prove that the two parties had reached an agreement to invest in the landscape project, and sentenced Li to return the investment of 500,000 yuan.
Excerpt from the verdict:
The court held that the contract reached orally between Nie and Li was legal and valid Regarding the nature of the 508,000 yuan transferred by Nie to Li's designated account, Nie believed that it was investment money, and Li believed that 300,000 yuan was investment money and 208,000 yuan was the money he borrowed from Nie, but he did not submit relevant evidence to prove the fact that he borrowed from Nie, and he should bear the legal consequences of failing to provide evidence, so this court did not adopt Li's opinion on borrowing 208,000 yuan Nie paid 508,000 yuan to Li, but the two parties did not sign a written contract to agree on the specific content, and Nie said that neither party had agreed on the investment project, investment method, sharing ratio, sharing time and other matters;Mr. Li believed that the investment project agreed by the two parties was a park landscape improvement project, but the construction contract, commencement report and other evidence submitted by Mr. Li were not sufficient to prove that he and Mr. Nie had reached an agreement on the investment cooperation of the project, so this court did not accept the above-mentioned evidence submitted by Mr. Li In the case that Mr. Nie and Mr. Li had a dispute over the basic content of the investment contract relationship and could not reach an agreement, Mr. Nie advocated the termination of the contractual relationship between the two parties. Li's return of the investment money to him is reasonable and reasonable, and it is also in line with common sense, but in fact, Li has returned part of the investment money to Nie, and for this reason, Nie advocates that Li return the remaining investment money to him, and this court supports it Regarding the investment amount that Li has returned, the investment amount paid by Nie is 508,000 yuan, and Li has returned 250688 yuan to him, and he still owes 257312 yuan, so this court supports Nie's claim for the return of 257312 yuan
