Explanation of major cases
The low cost of breach of contract leads to the sky-high price of non-payment
Lawyer Zhao Hu said that according to the provisions of the Auction Law: "The buyer The price of the auction object shall be paid as agreed. If the price is not paid as agreed, the auctioneer shall be liable for breach of contract, or the auctioneer shall re-auction the auction object with the consent of the consignor. "The liability for breach of contract, in the absence of special agreement, lies with the bidder." The deposit paid is not refundable. In this case, the deposit is a 20 yuan deposit paid by the bidder.
Lawyer Zhao analyzed that judging from the current situation, the possibility of the bidder misjudging the price is small. One possibility is to sabotage the auction and maliciously let the mobile iPhone pass the auction. Another possibility is "cheating", but no matter what the original intention is, because the cost of breach of contract is relatively low, even if the parties do not pay after the transaction, there is no loss.
It is unlikely that judicial auctions will be pranked, and the possibility of misreading the price is even greater.
