The original claim was that the defendant promised to return the group purchase fee if the purchase failed, but did not provide evidence to prove his claim, and he should bear the legal responsibility of proving that he could not. Therefore, the court of first instance did not support the plaintiff's claim that the defendant should return the group purchase fee and pay interest.

The defendant orally promised the plaintiff that if it did not buy, it could be returned to the plaintiff. After that, the plaintiff did not purchase the above-mentioned commercial house, and asked the defendant to refund the group purchase fee paid by him, but the defendant refused to return it.
[judgment result] the first instance decision rejected the original petition. The judgment of the second instance: the judgment of the first instance was revoked, and the defendant was ordered to return 30000 yuan of group purchase fee to the plaintiff.

[lawyer's opinion] i. during the trial, the judge often ignores many key points that are beneficial to us. This requires us to refine these key points that are beneficial to us during the trial or even after the trial, and explain and emphasize them to the judge. In the first instance of this case, the judge did not face up to the telephone recording provided by the plaintiff with the legal representative of the defendant, and ignored the essence of the group purchase fee. In the second instance, the plaintiff's agent, when presenting and answering questions to the judge, focused on the above omissions of the first instance judge, so that the second instance judge found the defendant's statement favorable to us in the first instance trial transcript.
2、 Go all out to find evidence to support your opinion. In the absence of any evidence provided by the defendant, the court of first instance held that the defendant had provided the plaintiff with group purchase discount, which expanded the plaintiff's burden of proof. Although it is not the plaintiff's burden of proof, the plaintiff provided new evidence to prove the current house price in the second instance, which well supported the plaintiff's claim that the defendant did not provide group purchase discounts.
