Blackstone Code Chapter 971: Mr. Lynch is a moral example
Watching the scene return to control, Momo asked a very crucial question, "So this time, what are you going to do with those who can't pay the compensation?"
“Not everyone can take out that much money at once, and if they go to court to enforce it, they will lose their car and their house.”
Lynch nodded as a matter of course, "Punishment is not to hurt people, but to let them understand why and where they went wrong, and give them a chance to make up for their mistakes."
"That's why I didn't choose to drop the case, they were wrong after all."
"I can forgive them, but only if it's not their sin!"
"If someone can't afford the money next, we'll have someone special to talk to."
Momo asked promptly, "How to talk?"
"In the range that everyone can accept, let them be educated, and at the same time they can easily pay back the money..."
Meanwhile, in an ordinary house in an ordinary community in Bupen, the owner of the house was sitting nervously at the table, his wife was standing behind him, and the child was in the bedroom on the second floor, through the door Seam looked downstairs.
Opposite the owner of the house, there is a lawyer, "...Sir, I am the legal commissioner at all times, this is my business card, the company's power of attorney..."
Some legal documents are placed on the table, which is much more professional than the salesman who went to the store to sell "litigation" last time.
Perhaps he had been cheated once. The owner looked carefully and seriously, and asked some small questions, all of which were answered.
Finally, he pushed back all the documents and looked nervously at the legal commissioner across from him.
After packing up the materials, the young legal commissioner continued, "I believe you have consulted a lawyer after the trial?"
The shop owner nodded. After losing the case, they immediately joined other shop owners and went to a well-known law firm in Bupen to consult the case.
The cost of 300 yuan an hour is really not cheap, but it also represents considerable professionalism. The lawyer who received them told them directly that there was no hope of winning this case.
Unless, they can find direct evidence that the person who cheated their counter in the first place is subject to every moment of company knowledge, such as finding those cheaters, or what documents.
Otherwise, it is impossible for them to link the two events together. As long as they cannot be linked together, they can be regarded as two isolated events that have no necessary relationship and have no connection whatsoever.
They just defaulted, for whatever reason.
They can go and sue the crooks, and if they can find it, they can pass their losses on to the crooks and let the crooks compensate them for their losses.
A question was asked if it was possible to continue an appeal, linking the two cases together without evidence.
After all, everyone can see that there is something more or less related here.
Even a blind man can see it.
The lawyer's answer still makes them desperate. The federal court pays attention to factual evidence and must have a complete chain of evidence.
It's like Lynch laundering money in the beginning, everyone knows that the money is laundered through his hands, but why can't the police and the Bureau of Investigation catch him?
Because there is no evidence, if "everyone knows" can be used as a factual basis to become "evidence" with legal benefits, the federation would have been in chaos.
You say he is, so what's the evidence?
At that time, they used the marked coins as the most important link in the chain of evidence. As long as it can be proved that the money from the Bureau of Investigation entered the laundry room of Old Fox through Lynch's hands, then the chain of evidence is complete. .
It proves that the flow of funds is in line with people's speculation, and there is an exact factual basis to support the judgment of the Bureau of Investigation, which completes the chain of evidence.
But if it doesn't, then nothing!
This is a nation of evidence, and you have to show it.
It sounds like it's embarrassing some people or to protect some people. In fact, this is to protect the bottom of the society from the wanton plunder of those in power, but in the eyes of the people at the bottom of the society, this has become the upper class. weapons to evade legal sanctions.
Sometimes you don't know whether to be sad or happy for the stupidity of those people.
The lawyers also told them that if they failed to appeal, it would likely lead to more unnecessary trouble, such as punitive fines.
This punitive fine is proposed by the lawyer and will be fulfilled if the judge upholds it.
It is often used for the party who protests. For example, in the case of solid evidence, the criminal never confesses his guilt, does not accept the trial results, and constantly protests and appeals. This can be regarded as blasphemy against the law. Very bad behavior.
The plaintiff's lawyer on the other side can then propose a punitive fine as a warning and a more severe punishment to warn the defendant and the world that the court is not a place for bullshit.
There have been more than a dozen cases in the federation in which punitive appeals have been supported. The amount involved in these cases is not high, maybe hundreds of thousands, but the punitive fines are often more than 100,000, or even Millions!
It is to be punished to the point of heartache, and no one will do stupid things again in the same case in the future!
The lawyer does not recommend that they continue to appeal or protest. The best way is to hand over the money while they are not exhausted all the time now, and this matter will be over.
Less than 100,000 yuan, you can't afford to catch up with yourself for a lifetime.
In addition, no lawyers will be willing to fight this kind of lawsuit that must be lost. If they don't have the support of lawyers, it means that they will definitely lose again. If they lose this time, the money they have to pay may exceed more than One hundred thousand.
Returning home with a heavy heart and thinking about how to get the money together - it's not that I don't want to resist, it's that I really can't resist, everyone in the Federation is on the side of the capitalists.
Courts, banks, police investigation bureaus, they usually speak for the capitalists, but now that the capitalists are still in charge, they won't speak for themselves as ordinary people.
80,000 yuan is not a small amount. The store owner has more than 10,000 yuan in cash, which is urgently needed and stocked.
The rest are all the goods in the store, which are probably worth about 20,000 yuan, maybe a little bit less.
In the afternoon, he went to the bank for consultation. His car was worthless, and the bank gave him a mortgage loan of up to 600 yuan.
But his house is worth a little money, and the bank is willing to give 35,000 yuan, but if he mortgages the house, the situation will become very dangerous.
Just as they were considering whether to borrow some money from other people, people came at every moment.
The legal officer looked at the couple and said, "Please don't be so nervous, we are just chatting, it would be better if we could solve some problems along the way."
"Let's talk first, are you able to pay this compensation?"
The wife's hand on her husband's shoulder clenched and loosened, and her tightly closed lips lost their blood, making her look unhealthy.
The shop owner shook his head, "I can't take out these all at once. If I can wait for a while, I will dispose of some of the goods in the store and borrow a little more..."
"Interrupt!" The legal commissioner tapped his finger on the table twice, "Don't be too nervous, we won't force you to make any decision against you, that's what capitalists do."
"Mr. Lynch won't allow us to do that, and that's what I'm here for."
"If you do what you say, your store will definitely not be able to operate?"
The owner nodded bitterly. All the things in his hand were cleared out, and the money was gone. The purchase became a problem. There was also the rent of the store. He might have to find a job to support his family. This is not An easy choice.
"Look, so here I am." The shopkeeper was somewhat surprised by the words of the legal commissioner.
"I don't quite understand what you mean, sir," he said.
"Mr. Lynch is gracious and generous, and if your funds are very difficult, we will lend you money to cover the fines of this lawsuit."
"Probably... 81,354 bucks and twenty-two cents. We'll lend you the money, and then you'll have the money to pay the compensation."
The shop owner is a little dazed, "This... I don't quite understand."
"This is Mr. Lynch's tolerance and help!"
"Your current work and life, including the living environment will not change, and this debt will be repaid in long-term installments, longer than the bank's term!"
The legal officer took out another document and put it on the table, "We have made various installments for it, and the most important thing is that there is no interest..."
The owner's eyes lit up slightly, "There is no interest, are you sure sir?"
"I'm sure!", the legal commissioner gave a very positive answer, "but it has some small fees, you know, so many of us are busy, and you occupy the company's liquidity , which requires some effort."
The owner's expression is not as good-looking as before, "What's the difference between that and interest?"
"Of course, if you can repay all the money next month, we don't need any fees, but the interest is different~IndoMTL.com~ It starts to calculate from the first second you get the money. "
"The sooner you pay it off, the lower the fee, and if you drag it on for the rest of your life, it certainly won't be that cheap."
"In other words, if you think you can repay the money as soon as possible, the advantage of the handling fee is very obvious. If you want to use the interest loan method, we can also do it...",
"The most important point...", the legal officer smiled kindly, "We won't give you a deadline that you can't bear, and then kick you out of your house like a bank!"
The owner is silent for a while, he can choose not to, but he will understand before making a decision.
"If, I mean if, I am going to sign this contract with you, how is it performed?"
“What are my responsibilities, what are my obligations, and how much will I pay you every month?”
He swears, just ask, he doesn't necessarily choose this!
