不久前从报上读到一则消息,说某乡政府曾先后多次以欠帐的方式在一个体饭店安排吃喝招待,5年间,共拖欠饭菜款一万多元。为此,个体饭店以乡政府作被告,向县人民法院提起民事诉讼。法院依法判决被告即乡政府于判决发生法律效力之日偿还拖欠个体饭店的饭菜款,有关利息照付,案件受理费也由乡政府承担。 Not long ago, I read from the newspaper a piece of news that a certain township government has on several occasions been owed by way of arranging meals and entertainment in a hotel. During the five years, a total of more than ten thousand yuan was owed for meals. To this end, the individual hotel to the township government as a defendant, filed a civil lawsuit to the county people’s court. The court ruled in accordance with the law that the defendant, the township government, reimbursed the individual restaurant for payment of food due on the day the verdict was legally effective. The relevant interest payment was paid. The case handling fee was also borne by the township government.
