First Arrival Territory: 72. Win the lawsuit! Win!

Next chapter

The judge took his seat, everyone stood up, Wang Bo looked at the judge curiously, and found that he was quite young, and he looked like he might be in his thirties, which was different from the sophisticated and calm image he imagined.

This is normal, the cases in the local court are too frequent, and the energy and judgment of judges are very demanding, so the entry requirements for judges are honest lawyers with seven years of practice experience, and judges in their thirties are not uncommon.

The judge motioned for everyone to take their seats, and then a juror read the case out to let everyone know what was going on, and then the appeal.

When lawyer Mueller appears, the first thing is the plaintiff's complaint.

He bites the point that when the government urban construction officials approached Wang Bo, he did not tell him that he had to pay for the land used to build the road, and then he used the "penlink" road under construction as an example to support his accusation.

The "Penlink" highway is located in the Rodney area of northern Auckland, which originally had only one main road running east-west through the peninsula. As a result, residents have to endure traffic jams when they get to Auckland, especially during the morning and evening rush hours, when there is a lot of traffic on the main road, and the slightest accident can make it difficult for the whole peninsula to move an inch.

Since the 80s, the City of Auckland has been planning to build the Penlink Highway, which will connect to Highway 1 through the Redvale area of Auckland, which will make a huge difference in the local transportation improvement.

However, construction of the highway did not begin until the last two years, because the route passed through a private piece of land with a distance of seven kilometers, and the city government and the landowner had not agreed on the price of use.

A few years ago, the city government of Auckland had no choice but to design this road as a rare toll road in New Zealand, and gave him an annual dividend according to the landowner's requirements before the construction could start.

Next, the defendant complained, and Wang Bo cheered up and prepared to watch the scene of the TV series.

But he regretted that the scene of the verbal argument in the movie and TV series did not appear, and both Mueller and the defense lawyer opposite spoke with the facts with the legal provisions, more like stating the truth of the incident.

Later, Wang Bo understood why Mr. Mueller said before the trial that they could take advantage of the case instead of winning the lawsuit.

The defendant's defense lawyer took a step back at the beginning, they did not argue that their side was right, but said that Wang Bo signed a fishing contract, just wait for the highway construction and then sue them, so that the investment has gone out, they can only lose money, and they can't stop work, right?

Indeed, now that the sunset section of Highway 8 has been under construction for more than half a month, almost the entire territory has been opened, and the investment in the project has reached 20 million New Zealand dollars, and it is impossible for the New Zealand government to stop the project.

He was about to speak, but lawyer Mueller glared at him and did not allow him to speak, but insisted on the original arguments and arguments, accusing the Land Transportation Authority, which was responsible for the construction of Highway 8, of taking advantage of the asymmetry of information to bully the new immigrants.

Lao Wang wondered, in fact, it is not difficult to refute the defendant's lawyer, why did he design a fishing contract? This highway is a win-win situation for him, without the Sunset Town section of Highway 8, then his town will not develop at all.

After a 45-minute appeal and hearing phase, the judge adjourned the trial, and the 12 jurors left the courtroom for a preliminary trial, which was announced half an hour later.

This is equivalent to a break, Wang Bo told lawyer Mueller about his thoughts, and the lawyer said: "Sure enough, I guessed that you would say that, and you can't say that, otherwise the judge will be subjectively biased in favor of our opponent." ”

He paused and explained, "Because, since the construction of this highway is profitable for you, you can't insist that the Land Transportation Authority is destroying your interests." Now, you and the traffic authority are in a user relationship, and once you admit that you can benefit, it is a partnership! ”

Lao Wang understood the truth, and secretly feared that he was fortunate that he was not clever, and the defendant's lawyer had wanted to prove that this contract was a cooperation contract and not a use contract, and he almost didn't admit himself.

Twenty minutes later, the judge and jurors returned, and finally announced the result: "Under God's watch, this court has listened to the appeals of both the original defendant and the defendant, and after collecting evidence from many parties, and after referring to the opinions of the jury, the following verdict has been rendered!" ”

"The plaintiff, Wang Bo, the owner of Sunset Town Real Estate, won the lawsuit and ruled that the New Zealand Land Transport Authority lost the lawsuit, and the contract signed for the first time was illegal!"

"Amen!"

The gavel falls, and the coffin is conclusive!

Wang Bo hugged Lawyer Mueller beside him and shouted excitedly: "You are so amazing buddy, we finally won, thank God forbid!" Thank you to the impartial courts of New Zealand! ”

Mueller smiled slightly and was about to open his mouth to speak, but Lao Wang hurriedly stopped him: "Don't be in a hurry to speak, my barrister, can you make me excited for a while?" I know that as soon as you open your mouth, it will be a lawyer's fee, don't worry, there will definitely be no penny! ”

As a result, after he let go of his hand, Mueller said slowly: "You guessed wrong, in fact, what I want to say is that I don't want the lawyer's fee this time." ”

Lao Wang's eyes were as big as his heels, this guy is crazy? Don't even want money?

Mueller continued: "I hope we can work together and I will be the official lawyer for the town!" ”

All of a sudden, Lao Wang understood, no wonder this guy had helped him many times before, it turned out that he thought that he was kind-hearted and handsome to win the favor of Mueller, but in fact, this was not the case, Mueller was calculating him from the beginning.

The official lawyer of the town can take over all the lawsuits in the town, and it is common for New Zealand to fight lawsuits, so that they can create more profits in the future, which is more profitable than eating a lawsuit.

Lao Wang agreed, and Muller's lawyer did not say that he had dealt with several lawsuits, and this time he won the confrontation with the state unit, and he was a powerful guy.

Charlie introduced him before, Mueller is one of the most famous lawyers in the entire South Island, and is the gold medal lawyer of the world-famous law firm Skadden Law Firm in New Zealand.

Moreover, the last time he was sued by the gangsters, Mueller's lawyer also showed his strong connections, and in just a few words, the lawyers hired by the gangsters surrendered to their side.

After the Aocheng court announced the results, Wang Bo thought that the New Zealand Traffic Authority would appeal, after all, they are state units and must have more energy in this country.

The day after the complaint, someone claiming to be an official of the Traffic Management Bureau called him and invited him to return to Aocheng to negotiate a contract. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
