New home-loan policies spark city's first civil suit

A man is suing a woman for failing to honor her agreement to sell her apartment, asking for 100,000 yuan in compensation.

This is the first time an apartment sales dispute has been taken to court, following changes in the government's housing and banking policies last month and this month.

The man, surnamed Wu, has taken the woman, surnamed Guo, to Chongwen district. The hearing began on Monday.
