Case Overview

    The 17-year-old plaintiff A transferred money from his parents’ bank cards to his own WeChat account without

their knowledge. He used the funds to purchase game accounts totaling 43,792.8 yuan on games apps owned

by Beijing B Company, a defendant in this case. Beijing C Company, another defendant in the case, provided

transaction fund settlement services for B Company. When A’s parents discovered what had happened, they

brought B Company and C Company as co-defendants to the Wuhan East Lake New Technology Develop-

ment Zone People’s Court of Hubei Province and requested that the court order the two defendants to jointly

epay the plaintiff 43792.8 yuan and cover the costs of the lawsuit.

The proceedings of the case.

    Upon taking up the case, lawyer Yi Dongdong conducted a meticulous analysis of the facts and relevant 

evidence, concluding that the plaintiff had filed the lawsuit based on a contract dispute, but there was no 

contractual relationship between C Company and the plaintiff. C Company provided transaction fund settle-

ment services to the defendant B Company in accordance with the law, and the plaintiff was not an authorized

merchant of C Company. C Company was not a party to the contract and was not a suitable defendant in this

case. Lawyer Yi Dongdong quickly and accurately identified the necessary materials for the lawsuit and the

approach to defending the case, thereby fully preparing for the trial. During the trial, lawyer Yi vigorously 

defended the case, and the court ultimately ruled that the defendant B Company should return 13,137.84 yuan

to the plaintiff, and that defendant C Company was not liable for any civil liability.

Lawyer’s Reminder

    In practice, it is not uncommon for minors to withdraw money from their parents’ bank accounts without their 

knowledge and use it for game subscriptions, online broadcaster tips, and other purposes. Due to the limited

cognitive abilities of minors, companies should establish early monitoring mechanisms for the use of accounts

by minors, such as using facial recognition technology to verify the identity of minors. If such issues arise, it is

recommended that the company preserve relevant evidence and promptly contact a professional lawyer to 

represent its interests. With the help of the lawyer, the dispute can be resolved through legal means. This 

approach not only maximizes the company’s rights but also reduces its time costs and avoids unnecessary 

litigation.
