Chapter III The Public Auction Procedure of an Impartial Third Party
Section 4 Auction
Article 18
The auction of real estate can be conducted by bidding or outcry or through the Internet.
Before an auction is made through internet, an impartial third party should prepare the relevant operating regulations and submit them to the Board of Directors and then to the governing body for approval; only thereafter can such auctions be made.
The winning bid should be awarded to a bidder whose bid is the highest and also exceeds the floor price.
Article 19
In case an auction is carried out through bidding, bidders should put their sealed bidding documents into a tender box installed by an impartial hird party.
The bidding documents mentioned above should indicate the following:
1.The name or title, age, identification document number or unified serial number and address of the bidder;
2.The real estate lot number;
3.The actual bid.
Article 20
A bid would be considered invalid if it has not been submitted in the manner set out in the above-mentioned Article, the bidder has not paid the full amount of the deposit as required, or the bid is below the floor price.
Article 21
In case an auction is made through bidding, the person in charge of the auction should open the sealed bids in front of the public after the bid submission has been completed.
If more than one bidder offer the same highest price, bidders will be given another chance to outbid each other. However, if none of them were willing to up their bid, the winner would be determined by drawing lots.
Article 22
In order to carry out an auction through outcry, an impartial third party should set up a place suitable for such an auction. The setting up of the place and the rules concerning the outcry should be submitted by the impartial third party to the governing body for reference.
The person in charge of the auction as mentioned above should announce every bid loudly three times. If there is no higher bid offered thereafter, he (or she) should indicate that the bid is awarded by clapping a board or through other suitable means.
Article 23
The winning bid should be considered null and void if the bidder has failed to make the full payment prior to the deadline as set out in the proclamation or has not made the down payment in full under the installment plan.
Should the above-mentioned situation occur, an impartial third party should inquire all bidders whose bids exceeded the floor price whether they would be willing to purchase the real estate based on the original prices they had offered and to make responses within seven days after receiving the inquiry. The bidder who had offered the highest price and is willing to buy wins the bid. The provision set out in Article 21, Paragraph 2 above is also applicable in this case.
Article 24
An impartial third party should advise the mortgagor, debtor, and creditor the result of the bidding by indicating the following:
1.The winning price;
2.The land appreciation tax to be paid;
3.The auction expenses and the expenses in obtaining the executive title (calculated based on the lawsuit expense certificate issued by the court) to be paid;
4.The amount of money to be paid as calculated based on the principal, interest, and default charge shown in the executive title;
5.The amount to be paid to the mortgagee.
The mortgagor, debtor, or creditor may express his (or her) opinion regarding Paragraph 1, Subparagraphs 4 and 5 mentioned above within seven days after being advised thereof. In case a disagreement is expressed, the impartial third party should make recalculations based on the views and proof received. If these views and proof are considered valid, the amount should be recalculated accordingly. However, if they are considered invalid, the amounts would be final. The one who had expressed the disagreement would be duly advised.
If there is no disagreement, the impartial third party should distribute the money in accordance with the order set out in Paragraph 1, Subparagraphs 2 to 4 mentioned above, so as to clear the mortgage of the creditor. Any residual should be returned to the mortgagor.
