Solution for the Songzhuang Case
The prolonged legal proceedings between villages and artists in Songzhuang over property rights reached an agreement via court mediation on April 14. Both parties have agreed the sales and purchase agreements signed are null and void,but the artists were allowed to stay on in the properties until the area makes way for redevelopment. When the latter happen, compensations for building demolition and relocation will belong to the defendants (artists); while land compensation will go to the plaintiff (villagers).
