As a Lawyer, You Sent the Judge In?

Chapter 404: Once the verdict is out, the backhand is to report it

Chapter 404: The verdict is out, and the backhand is to report it

 After Su Bai finished his statement.

The defense and statement sessions of this trial are now over.

  Basically there is no other meaning and no questions to add or answer.

The next thing to look at is the determination of Su Bai’s claim by the presiding judge and the other two judges.

 It is a fact that Chenggong Law Firm spread rumors and engaged in unfair competition with Bai Jun Law Firm.

  But as for how to identify the litigation claims...or what are the scope and limits of the identification.

 This is decided by the presiding judge and members of the collegial panel.

To give the simplest example: the plaintiff’s request is to determine a one-month publicity period, which is in line with the law.

However, the presiding judge and members of the collegial panel can decide whether there should be a one-month public notice period for the judgment.

 Even if the public notice period is only one day, as long as it is sentenced, it will be in compliance with the law.

 This is the discretion of the presiding judge and members of the collegial panel in court hearings.

.

 ….

 At the judgment seat.

Chu Changhe, as the presiding judge, struck the hammer and announced the adjournment of the trial.

 “The defenses of all parties have been completed.”

“The collegial panel needs to conduct further discussions on the content of the parties’ defenses and the plaintiff’s claims.”

“The court is now adjourned.”

“After the adjournment is over, the verdict will be announced!”

 After Chu Changhe finished speaking, he left the court hearing with two other members of the collegial panel.

 During the recess.

Su Bai's expression was relaxed. He had already made a statement in this trial.

 The evidence submitted can also prove that the defendant has the actual situation alleged.

 Then just wait for the presiding judge to finish the adjournment discussion and make the judgment after the court session.

 According to his estimate.…

 In addition to considering the influence of the official media during the publicity period, the presiding judge rejected the request for a 30-day publicity period.

 Other aspects...especially the demands of successful law firms.

  It can basically be judged successful.

 Beside, Xiao Li’s face was full of smiles. Now, what kind of successful law firm is this?…

 Send it in! .

 ….

the other side.

 Yu Cheng and Li Ming looked solemn. They had screwed up this trial.

They also knew in their hearts that if the trial failed, Su Bai's lawsuit would be accepted by the presiding judge.

 What consequences they will face.

 The result is—they can no longer stay in the lawyer profession!

The two looked at each other, and Li Ming sighed:

 “Lawyer Yu.…”

“If we lose the case in a normal court trial, our law firm, as well as you and me personally, will be in a very bad situation!”

"Why!"

Li Ming sighed: "If we hadn't blocked Bai Jun Law Firm at that time."

 “Maybe we won’t face this situation now…”

Yu Cheng frowned: "I know everything you said..."

 “I also know that the situation I am facing is not good, but there is no what if.”

“Besides, you agreed to this method at the time, didn’t you?”

 “Who could have imagined that this would be the case today?”

 Yu Cheng thought back to how high-spirited he was when the second trial of Dong Guoguo’s case was changed at first!

I feel that I will definitely be able to make a name for myself in Beidu.

 He thought that he had defeated Bai Jun Law Firm.

 You can absolutely take advantage of this to further expand your influence.

 Simply went to the media to trample Bai Jun Law Firm to enhance the reputation of its own law firm.

 But who could have imagined that this would happen at the time?

 He didn’t expect it, Li Ming didn’t expect it, and many lawyers at Chenggong Law Firm didn’t expect it!

certainly.…

If this trial fails and the presiding judge accepts Su Bai's lawsuit, the biggest impact will be on him and Li Ming.

 Other lawyers in the law firm can go out to take on private work or change jobs during the period when the law firm is closed.

 But what about the two of them?

 As a partner, I don’t even have a lawyer’s license!

 What’s next?

As long as the presiding judge accepts the plaintiff’s claims, this trial will never end!

Hearing Yu Cheng's slightly complaining and angry tone, Li Ming frowned and said nothing.

 But a trace of regret emerged involuntarily in my heart.

only.…

 It is useless to regret now.

 They can only hope that the collegial panel can negotiate a verdict that is favorable to them.

.

 ….

On the other side, in the collegial panel discussion room, Chu Changhe, as the presiding judge, was discussing the outcome of this judgment with two other judges.

 There are no other major objections to the judgment this time.

ˆThe first is the rumor-mongering by the defendant and the media, and the leading responsibility of the successful law firm for spreading rumors.

 This point has objective facts and there is no problem.

 In addition, the client’s lawyer also admitted that the successful law firm engaged in unfair competition.

ˆ It also has objective facts and there are no other circumstances.

  The specific content of the discussion still needs to be discussed on the issue of liability for the two attorneys entrusted by the defendant.

 In response to this point, Chu Changhe asked the other two judges for their opinions.

“Lao Wang and Lao Zhang, in response to the plaintiff’s request, we will determine the liability of Yu Cheng and Li Ming.”

“What do you think of this?”

Lao Wang smiled and said, "How can we tell? Let's use evidence!"

“The plaintiff’s request is to revoke the lawyer licenses of Yu Cheng and Li Ming.”

“We only determine the liability issue, and then the plaintiff will take our decision to go to the Justice Bureau and the Lawyers Association to handle the matter of revoking his lawyer’s license.”

“Are Yu Cheng and Li Ming responsible for spreading rumors subjectively and maliciously during this trial?”

"Yes, I have!"

“So from this point of view, just make a direct judgment and that’s it!”

 “Any other questions?”

 “There are no other problems at all!”

 “This is my opinion, what do you think?”

 Lao Wang cheerfully spoke and asked.

 Lao Kai opened his mouth: "I don't have any problem."

Hearing the answers from Lao Wang and Lao Zhang, Chu Changhe nodded slightly:

“You and I have similar opinions.”

“The plaintiff’s statement about revoking the defendant’s lawyer’s license is ultimately a request to determine the division of responsibilities.”

“In this regard, the lawyer entrusted by the defendant does have certain responsibilities. Since this has been made clear, there are no other issues.”

"But... how to deal with the publicity period for media apology? Is thirty days too long? How many days should it be changed to?"

 Lao opened his mouth and said, "Seven days."

“One week is just enough. After all, two of them are state media. The time is too long and the impact will be bad.”

“In the final analysis, it’s just the person in charge who has the problem.”

“The platform has responsibilities, but the responsibility involved by the platform is not too great. Seven days is almost enough.”

"okay!"

Chu Changhe nodded and confirmed the rough verdict.

.

 ….

 The adjournment time ended and the formal court hearing soon entered again.

 Seeing Chu Changhe sitting on the chief judge's seat. Lawyers appointed by all parties in the trial focused their attention on Chu Changhe.

Chu Changhe briefly sorted out the court trial materials and looked around.

 Seeing the different expressions on the faces of the lawyers appointed by each party, he then banged the hammer.

 “The adjournment is over and the trial will continue.”

“All court defense sessions before the adjournment have ended, and the verdict is now announced!”

  咚咚!

 The hammer fell and everyone stood up.

Chu Changhe continued: "This court hearing will be held by our Beidu West District Basic Court."

“The plaintiff accuses the defendants West District Metropolis Media, West District Minsheng Media, Tianyu Media, and Chenggong Law Firm for allegedly spreading rumors.”

“Also, the case of Chenggong Law Firm suspected of unfair competition will be heard.”

“Based on objective, fair and equitable laws and regulations, this court now announces the verdict.”

“The verdict is as follows:”

“First: Judgment that the West District Metropolis Media, West District Minsheng Media, and Tianyu Media were found guilty of spreading rumors.”

“A public apology is required for the plaintiff, and the public apology period is seven days.”

“Compensation is negotiated privately and will not be reflected in the judgment.”

“Second: Determine the alleged unfair competition of Chenggong Law Firm.”

“In this case, Chenggong Law Firm has sufficient facts of unfair competition, and it is determined that Chenggong Law Firm has engaged in unfair competition.”

“Serious damage has been caused to Bai Jun Law Firm.”

   ….”

 There are quite a lot of articles regarding unfair competition judgments.

 Involves certain data, such as what kind of reputational damage has been caused and what kind of indirect economic losses have been caused.

 Require Chenggong Law Firm to compensate for its current business quota.

 And required it to issue an apology during a 30-day publicity period.

 There is no problem with the ruling on unfair competition.

but.…

 The next issue related to personal responsibility is the key issue.

Yu Cheng and Li Ming both looked nervously at the trial bench, hoping that the presiding judge would not make relevant judgments.

 But the reality is quite different from what Yu Cheng and Li Ming imagined.

 Just listen to Chu Changhe continue to speak as the chief judge:

“As for the findings in the plaintiff’s claim, in this case, Yu Cheng and Li Ming played the main responsibility for spreading rumors.”

“The court analyzes the objective facts and evidence based on their understanding.”

                                                            )

“Yu Cheng and Li Ming maliciously spread rumors and engaged in unfair competition against Bai Jun Law Firm.”

“Yu Cheng and Li Ming bear the main responsibility for this improper behavior!”

   ….”

 Hearing this judgment result, both Yu Cheng and Li Ming were stunned for a moment.

Neither of them continued to listen to the presiding judge's statement.

 Because the following statement is basically consistent with Su Bai’s request and lawsuit.

 There is no big difference.

The two of them looked at each other, and their hearts skipped a beat, knowing that they were doomed!

With this, Chu Changhe announced the closure and made the final blow.

 In this court hearing, the verdict was also announced.

 At the plaintiff's seat, after hearing the verdict.

Su Bai took a deep breath, turned his head and smiled:

 “Pack your things and get ready to go.”

“The judgment is over. All we have to do is submit the judgment to the Western District Judicial Bureau and it will be over!”

Li Xuezhen nodded solemnly with a small face: "Okay, Lawyer Su!"

As he said that, he followed Su Bai quickly.

Stepping out of the court, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the court decision has been made, all you need to do is take the court decision.

 Then, for Chenggong Law Firm, the matter of spreading rumors about Bai Jun Law Firm will be completely settled! .

 ….

 Successful Law Firm.

 After the verdict, both Yu Cheng and Li Ming returned to the law firm in low spirits.

This time, although the verdict did not directly sentence them to cancel their lawyer qualification certificates.

 But this division of main responsibilities...can be equivalent to canceling their lawyer's practicing certificate, there is not much difference.

 Because once Su Bai submits the judgment to the Justice Bureau.

 The Justice Bureau will deal with them. According to this situation, 99% of them will cancel their lawyer practicing certificates.

 And then submit the judgment to the relevant departments, and the relevant departments will also suspend the business of their law firms due to unfair competition.

 In the office.

When Yu Cheng returned to Chenggong Law Firm, many lawyers were already asking him what he should do if the judgment was made like this.

what to do?

 He doesn’t know what to do either!

 And this case is being heard in public, and many lawyers from the law firm are paying attention to the outcome of this trial.

 Now that something like this has happened...he can clearly feel the expressions in the eyes of other lawyers looking at him!

Thinking of this, Yu Cheng couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

At this time, Li Ming opened the door and walked in.

Yu Cheng raised his head. Before he could speak, Li Ming had already closed the door and sat on the sofa opposite.

 “We still have a chance...”

"Have the opportunity?"

Yu Cheng is confused: "The current situation is that there is no new evidence in our appeal to the second instance. There is a high probability that the second instance will uphold the original judgment of the first instance."

 “What are the chances?”

  Li Ming said: "At the time of the trial, I didn't expect such a sentence."

“The court has not made a direct judgment. If Bai Jun Law Firm does not submit a judgment, it will not go to the Justice Bureau to sue us.”

 “Then we’ll be fine?”

 “What does this matter belong to? This matter belongs to the people and is not subject to investigation or investigation.”

"How about we go to Bai Jun Law Firm to meet with Lawyer Su, apologize and be willing to pay compensation?"

 “Isn’t that enough?”

Hearing Li Ming's words, Yu Cheng was slightly moved.

 But then he spoke again: "I have considered the idea you mentioned."

“But have you ever thought about it, if we maliciously spread rumors about Bai Jun Law Firm, will they still be willing to forgive us?”

 “Definitely not!”

 “If it were you, you wouldn’t forgive the other person, right?”

 Li Ming was silent for a few seconds and then said: "But no matter what, I should give it a try..."

"Try it."

Facing Li Ming’s repeated persuasion, Yu Cheng finally sighed: “Okay, let’s try it.”

.

 ….

 On the other side, Nandu Baijun Law Firm.

Su Bai after learning that the verdict was issued.

 Immediately arranged for Duan Liang, who was in charge of the Beidu branch, to submit the judgment to the local Justice Bureau and relevant administrative departments.

 Looking at the many unfamiliar numbers that have been dialed in recent days.

Su Bai blocked him with a backhand!

Facing unknown calls, be careful of scams and block them as soon as possible!

On the other side, Yu Cheng's mentality collapsed. He finally got Su Bai's phone number through other lawyer friends.

But.…

This is impossible to get through at all!
