What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 551 - 182 Old Zhou: Tang Fangjing, you really deserve to die! (Make up for missed updates)_2

"Moreover, without informing the purpose of facial recognition, according to... regulations, the plaintiff’s personality rights have been violated. Therefore, the judgment is as follows,"

"The defendants, Xu Shouchang and four others, are to return the five hundred yuan loan after this judgment takes effect, provide a supplementary compensation of one thousand five hundred yuan to the plaintiff, and bear the reasonable expenses of three thousand yuan incurred by the plaintiff in asserting their rights..."

"The costs of this litigation shall be borne by the defendants."

This was a representative lawsuit outcome, meaning that other cases would be calculated in the same method—return one, compensate threefold, plus the lawyer’s fee and the lawyer’s travel expenses, among others.

Upon hearing the judgment, Jiang Zhongxi’s mouth twitched, then he turned to the three people beside him and said, "Well, are you going to appeal?"

There’s fuck all to appeal, even if we did, we wouldn’t hire you!

However, Wang Junmei was still planning to appeal; after all, the situation had reached this point, and they had to compensate more than two hundred people.

Basically, this meant that they were about to be bankrupt...

The three defendants went to talk to the Judgment Chief about appealing, while Jiang Zhongxi leisurely prepared to leave as well.

As he reached the door, he suddenly heard a voice: "Lawyer Jiang, may I ask you a question."

Ah? Jiang Zhongxi quickly turned around and found Tang Fangjing.

"Tang, Lawyer Tang, go ahead and ask..."

"Lawyer Jiang, I’m curious, during the previous court session, was it intentional or an accident?" Old Tang asked with a smile.

He was genuinely curious. Up until now, such bizarre tactics had only been seen in one person, that being Lawyer Zhang Wei, who was making waves in the criminal cases in Jingzhou.

So Old Tang was eager to know whether Lawyer Jiang was a talent in this respect.

Jiang Zhongxi’s face turned dark immediately, and without answering the question, he left briskly.

Now it was clear, Lawyer Jiang operated that way purely out of incompetence.

Indeed, with the increase of lawyers, there’s all kinds of talent. Tengda had already acquired the talented Zhang Wei; who knows when a young prodigy might appear.

The case was appealed to the Jingzhou Intermediate Court, which directly non-trial issued a ruling dismissing the appeal and upholding the original judgment.

At the same time, the Supreme Court announced the new Judicial Interpretation, shocking many in the legal circle.

This case was different from the last Judicial Interpretation. Old Tang didn’t post it online, so only those within the legal circle knew that the Supreme Court had issued such an interpretation.

In Jingzhou, Old Cheng wanted to drink a couple of glasses upon seeing the Judicial Interpretation, almost certain that it would become a guiding case.

The Judicial Interpretations of the Supreme Court only serve as reference; however, a guiding case has a directive significance. If you don’t adjudicate according to its guidance, the Supreme Court will intervene.

The second-instance judgment upheld the original decision, and the judgment took effect, entering the enforcement stage.

Old Tang was not the least bit worried about enforcement issues. The total amount nearly reached one hundred and fifty million for the two hundred-plus people, while the funds frozen amounted to over one hundred and seventy million.

You just have to marvel, after diligently studying the criminal law, the ways to make money are indeed numerous.

In the Execution Office of the Dongshan County Court, the enforcement judge immediately took action after the verdict took effect.

There was no choice; the court’s leadership made numerous calls, and there were absolutely no backdoors involved—it was purely for the interest.

Are you kidding? This was a case being considered for a guiding example. It had to be properly wrapped up; otherwise, if it were to be forwarded prematurely and issues in execution later emerged, it would be embarrassing.

There were no issues with enforcement at all, and naturally, the enforcement judge dealt with it urgently.

In Jingnan County, Shangyu Town, seventy-three-year-old Old Zhou was still in good health. Like any other day, having finished his work, he watched people playing cards in the little supermarket, also chatting with other elders.

Right then, a lady nearby asked, "Old Zhou, didn’t you all go to Dongshan County a while back for some lawsuit? How did it go?"

Old Zhou replied with a smile, "We’re still waiting. They told us there would be results soon. You should have gone when we asked."

The lady scoffed, "Why bother going? It costs money just to get there, how much would that trip cost back and forth."

"Besides, who knows if it’s even useful? No way there are such good things in the world, like someone actually paying to sue on our behalf. Impossible."

"If that lawyer really wanted to do a good thing, couldn’t they just come to our town? It’s not right to expect us to go when we barely have any money."

Old Zhou replied, "That’s not right. They’re suing for us free of charge, it’s only right for us to make a trip."

"Alright, see if there are any results now. I tell you, we should have gone to the government, you know. Suing is totally useless." The lady spoke on.

Someone else laughed and said, "Exactly, why bother with suing for folks in our village? Uncle Zhou, look, it’s been so long, and still no result as the New Year approaches."

Old Zhou fell silent. The town had specifically announced that the so-called products they had received were actually bought on loan.

Now, in Dongshan County, a lawyer was helping with the lawsuit free of charge, but it was necessary to register by going to Dongshan.

More than twenty people in the village had picked up these products, but only he and another old man went. The rest laughed at them.

They called them foolish, saying they were tricked into going, and who knows what schemes the other side had.

Old Zhou didn’t know how to retort, but he was at peace with himself. After all, it was just a few hundred yuan—if it didn’t come back, it was as if he had taken a trip to Dongshan as a tourist.
