SPC Market-Access Model Case: Extra Conditions for Establishment Registration

Reference Case: Anhui Spring Auto Sales Company v. Mengcheng County Market Supervision Administration

At the company-establishment registration stage, the registrar should generally examine only the statutory registration materials. Once the applicant has provided documents proving the right to use the proposed company domicile, the authority may not add extra conditions based on land-use or planning suitability for the intended business and reject registration on that basis.
