Chapter 1348: Retreat (8/10)

"According to the XX clause of the XX Law, in accordance with the contract statement, I represent the plaintiff's unit, Huaxia Yangtai, like the defendant...... and other companies claimed a total of $3,832,508 in damages. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

When this compensation was proposed by Wilson, John and other representatives of the defendant unit were stunned!

Before, they didn't know what the claim amount was, they only knew that it was a large number, but when they actually heard it, they realized that this number was not just large, but should be said to be astronomical!

Then Wilson began to explain the reasons for his claim, and counted the losses caused to CCTV by the false advertisements of these companies. Then, with reference to existing foreign cases and the laws of Huaxia, the reasonableness of this claim amount is proposed.

The opposing party's lawyer team was stunned for a moment, and then refuted it all, first of all, foreign cases are not applicable to China, because the national conditions are different and the legal system is different.

Secondly, this claim is completely illegal, because they are the victims, and it is unreasonable for CCTV to remove their product advertisements from the shelves, and it has caused irreparable damage to their company and brand.

The two sides began to argue in court, but the lawyers they hired were not well-known in the first place, and even one lawyer stuttered and made a big joke when he was arguing.

Don't look at Wilson is British, but he has studied Cantonese for many years, and he has often worked in the mainland in recent years, although Mandarin is not particularly standard, but he can also hear clearly. The important thing is that his posture of winning is in hand, and he overwhelms the opponent in terms of momentum.

At the first court session, it was naturally impossible to have a result, but the results of the court debate had already been seen by everyone that Wilson was ahead in all aspects.

When everyone came out, there were a bunch of reporters at the door, not only from various Chinese media, but also from foreign media.

This is big news, China's state-owned enterprises, the mouthpiece of public opinion and some foreign-funded enterprises are in a lawsuit, of course they are very concerned, especially this news is also hyped abroad.

"May I ask Lawyer Zhang, what is the result of this trial?"

"Lawyer Zhang, how do you feel when you represent a foreign company and file a lawsuit with your country's central government?"

"May I ask Lawyer Zhang, some people on the Internet say that you are a traitor, what is your response to this?"

……

Here, Lawyer Zhang and others invited by John became anxious, but those foreign media did not come to interview him, but went to interview Wilson and others, because Lawyer Zhang and others ...... Don't understand English!

Wilson was still relaxed over there, with a faint smile on his face the whole time.

"May I ask Barrister Wilson, as a British Crown Counsel, do you feel any difference when you defend others in China?"

"May I ask Barrister Wilson, when did you get your lawyer's license in the mainland of China?"

"Counsel Wilson, do you have anything to say about one of the companies you are suing against that that is British?"

……

Wilson expertly answered reporters' questions and easily dismissed the attacks on him. On behalf of the central station in China, he condemned those foreign-funded enterprises because of their reversal of black and white.

Wilson has long been familiar with this kind of scene, and although these reporters are difficult to deal with, they are still weak compared to the scene of Xiangjiang where the paparazzi squatting in front of your house and even secretly filming you through your window.

Seeing that not far away, Lawyer Zhang and others were sweating profusely dealing with reporters, Wilson walked over with a smile. The reporters who were supposed to be interviewing Mr. Zhang immediately turned around and began to interview Wilson.

"Lawyer Wilson, just now Lawyer Zhang said that you will lose the next trial, do you agree with this sentence?"

"Mr. Wilson, may I ask if the result of the trial just now is as Lawyer Zhang said, and your refutation is incomplete?"

"Lawyer Wilson, Lawyer Zhang said that they are going to file a counterclaim against you, and that your claim is vexatious, do you agree with his statement?"

……

Wilson replied with a smile on his face, "I understand all of your questions, so I'll just say two points." First, we will win this lawsuit because we are on the side of law and reason. Second, Mr. Zhang had a record of bribery to witnesses, which was examined for a long time. ”

Everyone looked at Lawyer Zhang, and Lawyer Zhang's face turned red: "This is slander, that incident has proved that I am innocent!" ”

Wilson shrugged and turned to leave. Whether he is innocent or not, he doesn't know, even if lawyer Zhang is innocent, but do the people believe it?

Sure enough, the reporters frantically surrounded Lawyer Zhang and asked him to explain what was going on with that incident.

In the afternoon of the same day, the news on the Internet was updated, reporting on the trial, and then mentioning the suspected bribery of lawyer Zhang.

Mr. Zhang used to be a well-known barrister, but he was caught in a suspected bribery incident, so he was silent for a long time. Otherwise, with his former reputation, he would not have taken on this kind of case. He needs to make a splash and get himself back to the top. And John also promised him that after this success, he would help him become a citizen of the United States, so he dared to sue Yangtai.

And now these dreams may be shattered. The Internet used to condemn those foreign-funded companies, but now, they are all condemning him and his team of lawyers.

Before it was evening, several lawyers from his team asked him to resign, saying that they couldn't fight the lawsuit. Some people said that there was an accident at home and that they wanted to go back quickly.

In short, all kinds of excuses, I just don't want to mix. Yes, fighting this lawsuit can quickly improve their reputation, but if this reputation is negative, then it is better not to do it.

They were in Lawyer Zhang's team, and even their parents called and scolded them, how could they participate?

Only those foreign lawyers are still helping Lawyer Zhang, but Lawyer Zhang looked at his own team, compared with the other team, the gap was not a little bit and a half, and he suddenly lost his heart.

At this time, foreign media also began to publish some similar cases abroad, all of which were those with the top claim amounts. The above analogy is made to the case to mean that Wilson's claim is reasonable.

Lawyer Zhang scoffed at this, reasonable fart! In Huaxia, there is not such a high claim amount!

Even if the lawsuit is lost, at most it is enough to compensate double the advertising fee, and this kind of dozens of times the claim is absolutely impossible, and the court will not dare to judge it.

Lawyer Zhang suddenly found that in his heart, he had already considered the possibility of losing the case. When that happens, it proves that he still has lost faith.

Maybe he really shouldn't have taken this lawsuit in the first place.
