"Can you tell me?"
"No problem, the first one is to be able to buy my girlfriend a sports car, a yacht, a big villa, and preferably a luxury plane." Lao Wang said happily.
Monica nodded slightly and said in appreciation: "You are such a good man and boyfriend, I really don't know which lucky girl became a couple with you." So, what about the second wish? β
"I wish I had a girlfriend." Lao Wang was not happy.
The cameraman and gaffer both laughed, and Monica also showed a touching smile: "Wang, you are really humorous, but are you sure you answer like this?" β
Lao Wang nodded, what is humorous, this is his New Year's wish for the past twenty years, and what he said is the truth.
Shortly after Monica's departure, attorney Mueller arrived.
On such a hot day, the lawyer was still in a neat suit and tie and black leather shoes, and his face was dripping with sweat.
He gave an indictment to Wang Bo and said, "Wang, the Aocheng District Court has accepted your case, and the trial will be held next Tuesday, so you have no problem with the time, right?" β
At this moment, as soon as he makes way for money, Lao Wang has to be busy with this case even if he has something to do, which is a matter of a lot of money and the right to use a highway.
Still, he looked at Charlie and asked for his opinion.
Charlie shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, man, let's go sue New Zealand and give that son of a bitch a little color!" β
New Zealand's legal system is different from other countries in that it is mainly composed of three aspects, one is social norms, that is, the universally used principles of social justice, equality and other social moral norms.
second, the written laws of the parliament and the decrees and regulations issued by the government; The third is international treaties, that is, agreements and treaties signed by international organizations and international conferences, which have been ratified and entered into force by member states.
The country does not have a full written constitution, the Constitution Act 1986 is functionally distinct from other countries' constitutions, and the two more important sources of law in New Zealand are the Common Law and the Treaty of Waitangi.
Mueller sued him that the New Zealand government had violated his rights under common law in building the road, and that if they were firm enough, the lawsuit should make a difference.
The New Zealand court system is divided into four levels from lowest to highest, which can be divided into district courts, high courts, courts of appeal and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom according to jurisdiction.
Of course, there are also courts in the country that deal with specialized matters and disputes, such as the Juvenile Court, the Family Court, the Industrial Relations Arbitration Court, the Maori Land Court, and so on.
Wang Bo's case only needs to go through the first-level district court to make a decision, and the district court has the power to handle economic cases, and the amount of authority is 200,000 New Zealand dollars. The land use fee for Highway No. 8 is based on annual units, in fact, it is almost 100,000 or 200,000 yuan a year.
But Wang Bo was still incredulous, saying that the local court could decide whether the state power won or lost?
Mueller sued him that they were not suing the New Zealand Subject Authority, but the Land Transport Authority, which built the Sunset section of Highway 8. Suing the Land Transport Authority for infringement in the Ojo Court is only the first step, and if you lose the case in the District Court, you can appeal and go directly to the Court of Appeal, bypassing the High Court.
The materials required for the prosecution have been prepared, and the court session has been arranged, which is the first day after the New Year's Day holiday.
There were two days of the New Year's Day holiday, and on Tuesday, the weather was gloomy after several months of splendor, and Wang Bo and others came to the Aocheng Court.
Like the rest of the town, the Ottojo Courthouse is not grandiose, but a small, self-contained four-storey building with a bailiff standing guard, a huge New Zealand coat of arms hanging at the top of the door, and a sign on one side that reads: We stand up for justice with God.
However, the lower part of the white brand was a little gray and yellow, and Lao Wang was strange and asked, "What's the matter with the color of this brand?" Does it stand for something? β
Solicitor Mueller laughed: "It doesn't mean anything, in a case after Christmas, a Maori was found guilty, and the guy was not convinced, but he didn't appeal, but poured petrol on the sign and set it on fire." β
"This guy is really tough." Lao Wang was speechless.
Mueller said: "It's stupid enough, originally he was just stealing, and he was sentenced to a maximum of a few months." Now it became the crime of vandalism and arson, and the sentence became more than ten years, what a fool. β
Wang: "......"
Before entering the courtroom, MΓΌller told him, "On the territory of the heavy horse, you must pay attention to your words, do not speak without my permission, and do not speak without me teaching you." β
"Weight-bearing horses?" Lao Wang was puzzled.
Muller patiently explained: "Sorry, you just came to New Zealand not long ago. The weight-bearing horse is the nickname of the magistrate's court because it is especially busy. Then you should be able to understand that busy people are always not good-tempered, right? β
Charlie also added to him that there are not only district courts in this four-story building, but also family courts and juvenile courts in Ojo, because these courts are supplements to the district courts, and they share the work of the district courts, so they are usually very close to each other.
Despite the fact that the magistrates are only at the bottom of the New Zealand judicial hierarchy, they are actually quite powerful and can hear all civil and criminal cases except for treason, murder, unlawful sexual intercourse and perjury.
They often have too many cases to hear, and they are often too busy, so there are auxiliary courts such as the Juvenile Court.
After entering the courthouse, they were stopped by bailiffs.
Lawyer Mueller seemed to be a familiar face here, and when he pulled down the window of the car and didn't even take out the complaint, the bailiff took them to a preparation room, where there were other cases going on in front of him, and it was their turn to be informed.
At a quarter past ten a.m., a young woman dressed as a lawyer knocked on the door to signal that they were ready to appear in court.
Wang Bo was a little nervous, after all, it was the first time he had experienced such an occasion, and he asked: "I said guys, if I say the wrong thing later, will I be beaten on the spot?" β
"Surely not, they can't beat you." Charlie said confidently.
"But don't insult the judges, the magistrates are sacred, there are more than 100 people in the country, they are recommended by the Minister of Justice and appointed by the Attorney General, they represent the laws of the country, and they cannot be blasphemed," Muller added. β
"Of course, you don't have to worry and don't think too much, Wang, just listen to me when the time comes, in fact, the trial procedure is very simple, there are only four points: appeal, hearing, pre-trial and judgment."
At this point, they also arrived at the door of the courtroom, the bailiff opened the door and they walked in, there were some people sitting in the courtroom inside, and there were already lawyers waiting for the defendant's position, a middle-aged white man and a young white man.
