A man in China thought himself clever after divorcing his wife to avoid compensating his neighbour, whom he injured in a car accident.driving in a residential compound in Shanghai when he accidentally hit his neighbourAs they were unable to agree on a compensation amount, Chen brought the matter to a local court in Shanghai, which ruled that Zhou should remunerate Chen 200,000 yuan to cover his medical expenses and disability compensation.
In a subsequent ruling however, it was discovered that Zhou had no listed personal assets and was supposedly unable to compensate Chen. An investigation into Zhou's finances and records of properties and marriage revealed that Zhou had transferred two properties to his wife and divorced her shortly after he was ordered to pay damages to Chen.In view of Zhou's deceitful act, the court granted Chen's request for the property settlement to be revoked and ordered Zhou to pay the compensation he owed. The couple was also ordered to cover his legal fees.
"[He owns] two properties in Shanghai, yet divorced because of a 200,000 yuan compensation amount," another wrote.
