Blackstone Code Chapter 968: Winning
, update the latest chapter of Blackstone Password as soon as possible!
Before the trial, Lynch received a call from a professor he had commissioned.
"Mr. Lynch, there is one less sample in the lab, I think I should tell you about this..."
As a professor with access to projects, he knows his lab and his money better than anyone else.
No one can deceive him on these issues, otherwise he would have been in this circle long ago.
In the morning, when he just arrived at the laboratory to verify some data, he found that one sample was missing, a total of five dried tobacco leaves collected in different regions, and the corresponding seeds.
He didn't call the police immediately, but called Lynch. You don't know if those employers sometimes like the police or the Bureau of Investigation to intervene in their work.
"I'm a little surprised, but it's not a problem, you don't need to panic."
"You do what you do, don't worry about any impact on me, is there anything else?"
The last sentence is telling the professor that you should hang up and do whatever you want.
"It's all right then, bye, Mr. Lynch."
After hanging up the phone, Lynch shook his head. In fact, the specific situation of tobacco leaves is not worth keeping secret. Why do you say that?
Nagalil is so big, as long as Lucky and Colorful are willing to spend money, they will surely find someone willing to work with them to grow tobacco there, or to provide them with samples over there.
This can't be prevented. If you really want to stop the flow of tobacco leaves in Nagalil, the only way is to launch a regional extinction.
Let the vicinity of the place of origin become a no-man's land, then whoever goes in will be a thief, otherwise the defense will be meaningless.
What's more, some things must follow the rules in the Federation Lynch, but outside the Federation, fists are the rules!
Ten minutes before leaving the courtroom, representatives of several local shops in Bupen stood anxiously outside the courtroom, waiting for their attorneys, but at this moment, none of the attorneys came.
He hadn't even spoken to them further before this, and they suspected something might be wrong-
Of course.
Hiring a barrister is expensive, hiring a barrister to fight a losing case is even more expensive and almost impossible.
Those lawyers can't fight a losing case for anyone unless they give enough money, but Lucky and Colorful won't continue to pay any lawyer fees for these shop owners, so they'll have to pay for themselves money.
The problem now is that they don't know what's going on yet, and even if they had to pay, they wouldn't necessarily have the money to hire a barrister.
At the urging of the bailiff, it was time for the court session and they had to enter the courtroom.
After going through the simple process, the judge was a little surprised, "Didn't you hire a lawyer?"
He was very surprised that without a lawyer in this kind of case, a criminal took the initiative to put his head on the wooden mound and shouted "The executioner is coming to chop my head"
This is incredible!
The faces of several shopkeeper representatives were also ugly, and one of them stood up, "Your Majesty, our lawyer doesn't know why we didn't come."
"Have you called him?", the judge asked again.
Several people still nodded, "I called, but no one answered."
The judge was stunned for a moment. Since taking this job, he has never heard of a lawyer who doesn't answer the phone and doesn't keep the time. If there is, it means that the lawyer is hiding from these people.
"Have you signed a commission agreement with your lawyer?", he asked again.
Several shopkeepers shook their heads blankly. At that time, they just signed an indictment under the persuasion of some salesmen, and then someone said they would sue them for free, but they didn't know they had to sign a Power of Attorney.
Although the laws of the Federation are very perfect, not everyone has had contact with the law, and it is even less clear that after the perfect law, there is a more severe division of responsibilities.
Without a power of attorney, there is no trust relationship, and the judge probably already understands the reason.
He took off his glasses and looked at the lawyer who was here at every moment. Before he spoke, the lawyer at every moment said first, "Your Majesty, the time for the trial has passed, do we Can you continue?"
The judge was robbed and knew the reason in his heart. He was silent for a moment, "You have also seen the current situation. The defendants and their lawyers did not come."
The lawyer all the time said, "I respect your opinion very much, but Your Honor, this has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with this lawsuit, I remember there is an explanation, if one of the lawyers is not present In such cases, the parties may plead on their behalf.”
This is to prevent some people from being able to find a lawyer for some reason and in the end they have to defend themselves.
This is not a hypothetical, this has happened more than once in federal history.
No matter how much money the defendants spend, no matter how much they plead, no lawyer is willing to defend them, and they have to face this embarrassing and desperate scene.
Then they were given such an opportunity because a defendant asked to defend himself on the grounds that he could not find a lawyer.
But this opportunity does nothing and may be valuable in major cases where jury systems are used, especially in criminal cases.
It doesn't take much professional knowledge to convince the jury, as long as you have clear logical thinking and contagious language to convince the jury of what you say, that's all.
But in the case where the ordinary judge decides the final direction of the case, without a lawyer, defending himself without a lawyer, undoubtedly jumped directly into the abyss.
After being silent for a while, the judge looked at several shopkeeper representatives on the other side, "Are you willing to defend yourself?"
Several people were a little dazed and thought this might be a no-brainer, so they nodded.
The judge sighed and put his glasses back on.
The whole process was not long. The trial ended in less than half an hour, and the shopkeepers lost the case.
According to the demands made by the Legal Department at all times, every store needs to compensate for the money at the counters at all times. Those counters are only temporarily lent to them, not bought by them, nor given to them.
They lost these things in their custody and they are responsible for it.
One thousand two hundred dollars per cabinet, which is not very expensive.
But the lawsuit that followed made them unacceptable, because they thought that these shopkeepers had wiped at least two hundred million of their market value at every moment.
And now the market value is rising again every moment, and it has nothing to do with these shop owners and this case.
It's like a thief who stole a hundred dollars from a person, and now this person has made another hundred dollars through his own efforts, it can't be said that he has another hundred dollars, so the thief is not guilty of theft And responsibility, it doesn't make sense.
The lawyers at every moment have proved from many aspects that the current market value increase at every moment is the value added through capital expansion after the change of the group's business content, which is not directly related to the defendant and this case.
After the judge's mediation and trial, he finally had to support the request of the Legal Department at all times.
The entire court hearing was videotaped. If he sympathized with others, he caused a wrong and misjudgment in such a huge case.
Once the appeal and punitive damages are filed all the time, it is likely to lead to a more terrible disaster.
In the end, the judge reduced the amount of the appeal to 160 million, and more than 2,100 shop owners will share the cost!
Actually, it's not a lot. If everyone adds up, as long as they can't afford the cost of 80,000, 77,000 or 8,000 is enough.
It is precisely because of this that the judge did not further favor anyone. Compared with the compensation that may become hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands in the future, although this amount of money is large, it will not overwhelm their families. .
After the result came out, the store owner's representatives stood there, they couldn't accept the result, and the judge asked them to tell them that protests and appeals are meaningless and will only make things worse.
The only thing they have to do now is to find a way to find those who cheated their counters, and then get the counters back, which can reduce some losses, about one or two thousand dollars.
As for the main claim, there is basically no way to compensate hundreds of millions of funds, because it is indeed because they are connected in series without breach of contract at all times, and large-scale lawsuits occur, which leads to these When things happen, they must be held accountable for it.
Walking out of the courtroom, a large number of reporters surrounded the lawyers, and they handed the microphone forward excitedly. The most expensive "compensation claim" in federal history was won. This will become history!
And as lawsuits are being filed everywhere, more and more people are concerned.
Even Lynch has received several heavyweight interview requests for the show, hoping he will be on the show and talk about his views on these issues~IndoMTL.com~ You can not go, Mr. Lynch. ", sitting in the office, the head of the company's legal department is sitting opposite him, "you may show up at this time to arouse some people's disgust, they naturally hate rich people, and you are one of the more famous rich people. bit. "
"No matter what you say or do, they will read it against you, and all you have to do now is keep silent."
Lynch shook his head after thinking about the legal director's suggestion for a while, "I don't do things the same way as others. I'm not afraid of any challenges, and I don't mind letting people know what I think."
"As long as my heart is full of light, people will eventually understand me and agree with me, including all the decisions I make."
"On the contrary, if you refuse to face it, they will pour more sewage on me. I don't accept this result."
"Every penny I earn comes from my hard work, and their slander against me is the greatest humiliation to my hard work!"
"I'm going to face them!"
