Hongda Co., Ma Somezhen Interest Overcharge Compensation Dispute

In this dispute, the first-instance court held the actual controller/supervisory duty breach created a claim for interest loss, but the appellate court reversed. It ruled that a mere high-interest related-party loan was not automatically illegal where the transaction was part of a viable company financing choice and no sufficient fault was proved for abusing control; therefore the claim for the controller's compensation was dismissed.
