Chapter 217: Verdict pronounced
Li Chao consulted Nie Haihua's opinion, nodded and said, "Agreed." ”
In the defendant's seat, Liu Qiang leaned back in his seat, his eyes squinted at Nie Haihua, and shouted loudly: "There is nothing to mediate." ”
Liu Qiang was originally angry with his former father-in-law, and he deliberately made Nie Haihua sad by burying Nie Yun's ashes, but now of course he will not give in lightly.
The judge continued: "If the two sides fail to mediate, they will state their final opinions. ”
Li Chao said firmly: "I request that the defendant be ordered to bury Nie Yun's ashes in a legal cemetery within 15 days after the judgment takes effect, and inform the two plaintiffs." The defendant shall compensate the plaintiff for moral damages of 20,000 yuan. The litigation costs in this case shall be borne by the defendant. ”
Ning Weicheng responded loudly: "I request the court to make a judgment to reject the plaintiff's claim in accordance with the law." ”
"Now the court will be adjourned for fifteen minutes, and in fifteen minutes, this court will announce the verdict in court!"
After the judge struck the gavel, he walked out of the courtroom to prepare for the verdict.
Nie Haihua asked nervously, "Li Chao, we should be able to win this case, right?" ”
Li Chao nodded calmly and said, "The other party is obviously at fault, and I think the court should support our claim." ”
After listening to Li Chao's answer, Nie Haihua breathed a sigh of relief, but he still looked nervously at the door of the courtroom from time to time.
Over there, Liu Qiang asked Ning Weicheng domineeringly, "Lawyer Ning, how will the court decide this case?" ”
Ning Weicheng just smiled slightly, and did not pack the ticket, but said ambiguously: "We have all said what should be said, whether the right to sacrifice is a legal right or not, there is a dispute in the first place, it depends on which side the court supports." ”
Ning Weicheng was unconfident, and Liu Qiang was stunned for a moment. The middle-aged man with evil eyes in the auditorium had already shouted, "Mr. Liu will win!" ”
The other subordinates were willing to miss such an opportunity to show their loyalty, and immediately stood up and shouted, "Mr. Liu will win!" ”
Nie Haihua and Nie Feng watched the arrogant performances of these people with fire in their eyes. Liu Qiang saw the hard work of his subordinates. Smirked, and glanced at Nie Haihua provocatively.
Nie Haihua was so angry that his fists were clenched tightly, and Li Chao comforted: "Uncle Nie, don't care about these clowns, the sentence will be pronounced soon, and they will soon be in no mood to jump." ”
Li Chao appeased Nie Haihua's father and son, ignoring the provocations of Liu Qiang and his subordinates.
Soon after, the judge re-entered the courtroom, struck the gavel, and announced majestically: "Now the court session continues."
It was ascertained by this court's trial. On January 4, 201X, Nie Yun died of illness and was cremated on the same day, and her ashes were kept by her husband, defendant Liu Qiang. Liu Qiang's parents-in-law, the two plaintiffs in this case, repeatedly asked them whether and where their daughter Nie Yun's ashes were buried, but the defendant Liu Qiang did not clearly inform them.
Liu Qiang's parents-in-law repeatedly asked to sacrifice their daughter, but they were also refused.
On March 20, 20, the two plaintiffs filed a lawsuit with this court on the grounds that their daughter's whereabouts were unknown and they could not be sacrificed. It is requested that the defendant Liu Qiang be ordered to bury his daughter's ashes within 15 days of the judgment taking effect, and pay the plaintiff 20,000 yuan for mental damages. ”
Everyone looked intently at the judge, who had already stated the part of ascertaining the facts, and then came the crucial part of the judgment.
Liu Qiang also put away his carelessness. Staring at the judge. Liu Qiang didn't want to lose the lawsuit, he just wanted to use Nie Yun's ashes to pinch Nie Haihua.
Ning Weicheng also couldn't help but glance at Li Chao a few times. To be honest, as Liu Qiang's agent, it is unfavorable in this lawsuit. No matter how it is argued, Liu Qiang's behavior clearly violates customs and customs, and it is controversial whether it is illegal. But the law has always protected the weak.
If this lawsuit is lost, although there is not much loss to Ning Weicheng, Ning Weicheng will not be willing to say anything if he loses to Li Chao.
Li Chao's face was calm, and he was confident that the court would definitely support Nie Haihua's appeal. In any case, the laws of Huaxia still tend to protect the weak, and if Nie Haihua wants to win the right to sacrifice, he must be protected by law.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the judge continued to declare majestically: "This court believes that according to the traditional ethical concepts of our country and the folk customs and habits that have been formed for a long time, sacrifice is not only a mourning for the dead by the living, but also a kind of spiritual comfort for the living. As the parents of the deceased, the plaintiffs had the right to sacrifice their deceased daughter.
Defendant Liu Qiang did not inform Nie Yun's parents of the place where Nie Yun's ashes were stored or where to be buried, and failed to fulfill the obligation to inform, but his parents-in-law were unable to sacrifice, which violated the lawful right of the two plaintiffs to sacrifice and was contrary to social customs. Defendant Liu Qiang was subjectively at fault and should be held liable, so the argument that the defendant should not be held liable is not supported.
Defendant Liu Qiang's conduct also caused the plaintiff mental injury, which should be compensated, and the plaintiff requested compensation of 20,000 yuan for moral damages, and in light of the actual circumstances of this case, this court decided that 5,000 yuan for mental damages is appropriate. ”
At this, the judge paused slightly. In the opinion of this court, everyone has already guessed the content of the court's judgment.
Liu Qiang's face turned pale. How could this be reasonable, the court actually supported the old bone's appeal, and Liu Qiang glanced at Nie Haihua and Li Chao angrily.
The subordinates in the auditorium, who were originally happy and clamoring to support Liu Qiang, were also like ducks choked by the throat, with their eyes open and their mouths wide open.
The middle-aged man with evil eyes was even more like a mourner, with a look of indignation and unwillingness. This guy has been jumping up and down since the trial, and Li Chao paid special attention to him at this time. Seeing his current appearance, Li Chao also praised him in his heart, this guy is really Liu Qiang's loyal lackey!
After listening to this, Ning Weicheng also sighed slightly, he didn't expect to be defeated. originally wanted to take this opportunity to defeat Li Chao and help his junior brother Xue Dong avenge it.
Unexpectedly, he lost the case in the end. However, Ning Weicheng was not discouraged. In this case, Liu Qiang himself was at fault, and his behavior violated public order and good customs, which made it too difficult for Ning Weicheng to help him win the case.
Ning Weicheng had given Liu Qiang a preventive injection in advance, so losing the lawsuit was not too much of a problem for him. In addition, this case was purely to help Liu Qiang, and it was best to win, even if he didn't win, he would have no loss to him.
However, he is looking forward to competing with Li Chao for a real big case!
Nie Haihua and Nie Feng smiled, before Liu Qiangtong hugged the woman into the court and his subordinates made noise, repeatedly provoked, and the two fathers and sons had endured so hard.
Now it's finally time to raise their eyebrows, and the court is backing their claim.
Liu Qiang's bad work for many years is about to be cracked today. Nie Haihua was not excited, he grabbed the back of Li Chao's hand tightly, and said gratefully: "Li Chao, thank you so much!" Without your help, I don't know how long it would be before I see my daughter! ”
Saying that, Nie Haihua couldn't help but have mixed feelings and tears. Evil, after finding such a son-in-law, he had to go to court to see his daughter's ashes. (To be continued......)
