Having given birth to a baby dolphin, Marisa was somewhat tired, but this was still with the help of Poseidon energy, otherwise it would be so exhausted that it would be difficult to move.

Qin Shiou asked if he wanted to close this tour line, after all, the baby dolphin was just born, and the dolphin mother was tired, so it was easy to be frightened.

Winnie asked Auerbach, and the old man said it didn't matter, tourists could watch it, and the dolphins would protect their mother and son, which was also a common sight.

Sure enough, when some tourists approached the dolphin group with the boat, all the dolphins tried to swim to Marissa's mother and son, forming a circle, with their heads outward and tails facing inward, firmly protecting the dolphin mother and child in the middle, and as long as the boat approached, the dolphins would hit the bow with their heads.

The rest of the matter is none of Qin Shiou and the others, after going ashore, he asked Auerbach strangely: "Dad, do you know so much about the habits of dolphins?" I don't know yet. ”

Auerbach laughed: "There are so many things you don't know, obviously you haven't noticed, there are a lot of pictures of me and dolphins on the photo wall in my room." ”

Qin Shiou didn't pay attention to this, he basically didn't go to the old man's room, and the old man didn't go to his room, the relationship between the two sides was very peculiar, like father and son and similar to the boss and assistant, the two sides helped each other, but respected each other's privacy.

After going ashore, Auerbach didn't need him to speak, and said directly: "Regarding the matter of the wreck of the black axe, you can rest assured that you can salvage it, and the Spaniards don't want to take a piece from your hands!" ”

Before Qin Shiou could speak, Billy became excited, stretched out his thumb and shouted, "Daddy is domineering!" Our lawyer wasn't so arrogant, Schett, and I get angry when I think about it! Those stupid donkeys wanted to get down on their knees and talk to the Spaniards in the courtroom. It's despicable! ”

Auerbach laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "This time is different, in fact, I don't blame your lawyer team, you really didn't take advantage of it at the beginning." ”

Qin Shiou asked worriedly: "Although we salvaged a pirate ship this time, according to the current international law, the goods looted by the pirates still belong to the country of origin. ”

The three of them got into the car as they spoke. The tiger and the leopard flicked their tails in front of them again, their tongues sticking out of their elders, obviously not hot, but they like to run, but they are a pair of cute children who love sports.

On the ATV, Auerbach explained the differences between Qin Shiou and Billy in the two situations.

First of all, Spain's claim is very clear in terms of the subject of the lawsuit: the Mercedes was a warship sunk by the British Navy in 1804, and Spain has never relinquished its sovereignty over its shipwreck.

According to the bilateral treaty between the United States and Spain. The Spanish warship was to enjoy the same protection as the United States, and under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, the United States courts did not have jurisdiction over an action in rem against the warship, so the wrecked items salvaged by Odyssey should be returned to the Spanish government.

The treasures of the Black Axe wreck were indeed looted from Spanish territories, but these treasures did not prove that they were the property of the Spaniards, and perhaps the wealth of people from other countries in Spain, so the Spanish government's claim for this lawsuit was rather vague, claiming "conditional ownership" of the gold, silver and porcelain produced from the Doge's Palace.

Most importantly. This time, the location of Spain's accusation was chosen in Canada instead of the United States, so that two different sovereign states. The treatment of similar lawsuits is different.

There is a so-called "long-arm jurisdiction" principle in U.S. civil litigation, which means that even if the defendant does not reside in a state, as long as there is some minimum connection with that state, and the claim arises in connection with that connection, then the claim is concerned. The state has personal jurisdiction over the defendant and can issue a subpoena against the defendant out of state.

In the case of the Mercedes shipwreck, although the wreck and its appurtenances and cargo, as defendants, were recovered from the international seabed area, that is, from the high seas, the subject of the salvage was an American company headquartered in Florida. As a result, the U.S. Court held that the case constituted the minimum connection required to exercise long-arm jurisdiction.

The good thing about this time is that the Xiaoyu deep-sea wreck salvage company is located in Canada, and the Spaniards have to move the court to Canada, and Canada's legal system is the same as that of the United Kingdom, unlike the United States, although Spain will file a lawsuit, but the Canadian court will not compel the seizure of the wreck.

Hearing this, Billy shook his head and said, "But the federal court has issued a lawsuit to arrest the sunken ship." ”

Auerbach laughed: "Of course, as long as the court accepts the case, then the relevant property must be seized, this is the law." However, don't you see, the Supreme Court did not enforce the seizure, but left you to have jurisdiction on your own, which already says something. ”

Qin Shiou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In other words, these treasures will not be taken away by the Spaniards?" ”

Auerbach said: "Definitely not, but this batch of jewelry may not be able to be sold in a short time, and this lawsuit may be fought." ”

Thinking of the five-year lawsuit between the Spanish government and the Osside company, Qin Shiou was about to break out in a cold sweat: "You won't fight for five years, right?" ”

Auerbach shrugged and said: "It's hard to say this, depending on the determination of the Spaniards, of course I don't think this lawsuit will last so long, because the Mercedes was confident that the Spaniards would win at that time, so they were willing to spend a lot of money to fight this lawsuit." The black axe shipwreck, they must know that they can't win the lawsuit, and it's not interesting to spend it like this. ”

Billy breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As long as the ownership of the wreck can be determined, we are not in a hurry to use this money anyway, so why not fight a lawsuit with the Spaniards?" It can also increase the popularity of the wreck, and the opportunity for free hype cannot be missed. ”

Qin Shiou didn't want to wait, but he didn't have a better idea, so he could only go on like this.

After returning to the fishery, both Little Black and Brandon were a little anxious, the former was on the phone to talk to the lawyer at their auction house, and it didn't seem going well, and Little Black hung up the phone with a bitter face.

Qin Shiou told Little Black what Auerbach meant, and asked him to hand over the auction lawyer team to the old man to bring, and the old man came forward to solve the matter.

Little Black breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said: "This is the best, our chief lawyer said that this matter is open to sixty-four, and we can have a sixty percent chance of winning, but of course he is not as good as Daddy Ao, with Daddy Ao coming forward in person, the black axe pirate ship must belong to us." ”

As a common law country, it is normal to have a lawsuit in Canada, so for the same case, hiring an ordinary lawyer and hiring a good lawyer will naturally have different results.

At Auerbach's level, it's even more powerful, he can refer to a deer as a horse in court! (To be continued.) )
