Evergrande's founder and CEO claimed the developer - which is $300 billion in debt - has restarted work on 92% of its stalled apartment projects. Meanwhile, the lawsuits are piling up from all the realtors, vendors, contractors, and employees who got stiffed when Evergrande stopped paying its bills. The ripple effect is just starting.
Hong Kong’s biggest property sales agency plans to take further legal action against a subsidiary of China Evergrande Group to recoup “unpaid commission” from the troubled developer.
Centaline Property Agency said it will apply through the courts to chase HK$113 million (US$14.5 million) it claims it is owed by Evergrande’s Hong Kong unit.
The fees applied to 520 units of the Emerald Bay residential project in Tuen Mun accrued by more than 560 agents, Centaline said in an emailed statement on Wednesday.

> Gladys Berejiklian has resigned as the New South Wales premier and will leave parliament after the state's anti-corruption watchdog revealed it was investigating whether she broke the law by failing to report the conduct of her ex-lover, the former Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire.
> In a bombshell announcement on Friday, Berejiklian said she had been given "No choice" but to resign as premier after the Independent Commission Against Corruption revealed it was investigating whether she had been involved in "a breach of public trust" between 2012 and 2018 because of her relationship with Maguire.
> Insisting that she did not want to become "a distraction" for the government as NSW attempted to exit the three-month lockdown caused by an outbreak of Covid-19, Berejiklian said simply standing aside while Icac conducted its investigation was "Not an option".
> The treasurer also suggested he was weighing up a tilt at the leadership, saying: "Over the coming days I will be talking to my family and colleagues about how I can best serve the people of NSW".The commission - whose previous inquiries have led to the resignations of two other NSW premiers - said that in hearings beginning on 18 October it would investigate whether Berejiklian had engaged in conduct that constituted a "Conflict between her public duties and her private interest as a person who was in a personal relationship" with Maguire.
> At the centre of the investigation are grants to two organisations: the Australian Clay Target Association in 2016-2017, which Maguire had championed, and the Riverina Conservatorium of Music in Wagga Wagga in 2018.In its statement, Icac also announced it was investigating whether the premier's conduct "Involved the dishonest or partial exercise of any of her official functions".
> The announcement comes after Icac's long-running investigation into Maguire's conduct as an MP. In October last year, Maguire admitted he sought to "Monetise" his parliamentary office and "Use his status" as a politician for his own financial gain.
