Law Firm Changchun obtained a finding of no case to answer from the prosecution in a matter in which our client was booked for allegedly selling kerosene rather than diesel to the driver of a freight vehicle.
Selling kerosene rather than diesel to the driver of a freight vehicle is strictly prohibited by law and is increasingly punished strictly, given the adverse social effects including distortion of fuel prices and environmental pollution.
In this case Law Firm Changchun's dedicated criminal team, drawing on outstanding expertise built through service at the prosecution service and at an oil refining company, set out before the investigating authorities the detailed legal arguments of "absence of intent" and "the prohibition on analogical interpretation of penal provisions," and achieved the successful outcome of a "no case to answer" non-indictment decision from the prosecution.
