Sitting in the defendant's seat, Qin Shiou felt that these lawyers had nothing to do, so they were, let's talk about the ownership of the shipwreck, why are you talking about who seized the shipwreck in the early stage?

However, the two sides directly argued on this issue, and the Spanish legal team asked the Canadian court to revoke the previously issued pre-trial seizure order and revoke the administrator of the Xiaoyu deep-sea wreck salvage company.

They argued that since the Spanish Government had the most obvious historical, cultural and archaeological interest in the Black Axe Pirate wreck and its appendages, the Court should appoint the Spanish Government as the administrator of the subject matter of the proceedings, and that the Small Fish Salvage Company would have to place all the items that had been salvaged, including gold and silver coins, into the custody of the Spanish Government.

Thus began the debate, where the Supreme Court repeatedly emphasized that the court was not qualified to adjudicate on the ownership of the Black Axe Pirate wreck and its appurtenances and carrying, and that it did not have jurisdiction to make a decision. According to the law, the court can only order the small fish deep-sea wreck salvage company to hand over the subject of the lawsuit to the government, rather than the transfer of ownership.

In fact, there is a reason why the Spanish legal delegation is arguing like this, the issue of the ownership of the wreck and the treasure is not easy to determine, not all deep-sea wrecks are warships, and many international disputes over the salvage of cultural relics on the seabed do not have the issue of jurisdictional immunity of the state and its property, and the trial of substantive disputes is inevitable.

The Odyssey suffered because the Mercedes was a warship, and from every point of view it belonged to the Spanish government, even if the government changed.

The Black Axe Pirate Ship has no national ownership, they were pirates in the first place. All countries are wanted, otherwise there would be no need for them to run to the freezing Greenland Sea. Spain couldn't use the same method that sued Osside to deal with Qin Shiou and his party, so they didn't get into the subject for a long time.

Eventually it was ripped off. The first court session was inconclusive, and the presiding judge was probably in a hurry to eat, and finally knocked on the table with a mallet with a gloomy face, and the confrontation ended without a hitch.

Qin Daguan stood in the defendant's dock with a anxious face,, what's the situation? That's the end of this trial? So who does the wreck belong to? Lao Tzu is in a hurry to sell these treasures, is there?

The court adjourned, the jurors left, the crowd who had come to watch the trial also left, and the media reporters came up. surrounded Qin Shiou and the two groups of Spaniards, and spit out a lot of questions like cannons.

Now, Qin Shiou has experience in dealing with this, he took out a big sunglasses from his pocket and hung them on his face like a trick, then waved his hand and said: "I'm sorry everyone, I don't accept interviews now, if you have any questions, please ask my lawyer, I'm going to miss you." ”

Auerbach looked at his pretending appearance and wanted to go up and smoke him, what do you mean by asking your lawyer? What's there to ask about this?

In Qin Shiou's eyes. There was no result in this trial, but in the eyes of these master lawyers at Auerbach, they were relieved, and Auerbach said directly: "Let Little Black prepare for the auction." The Spaniards could not win. ”

Qin Shiou asked strangely, "How do you see it?" ”

A lawyer smiled and said: "The Spaniards did not directly attack the case itself this time, but questioned the judicial fairness and openness of the court, which shows that they are very dissatisfied with the attitude given by the Canadian authorities." I bet. The matter was communicated privately by diplomats on both sides, and the final result was not satisfactory to the Spaniards. ”

Qin Shiou asked strangely, "What do you mean?" Isn't the penalty decided by law? What does it mean for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to communicate privately? Damn justice, is it just to talk about it? ”

The lawyers shrugged. Auerbach said: "How can there be so much justice? In particular, this is an international dispute, and the laws of the two countries are different from international law. How is it determined? When you asked me, I told you at the beginning of this case that you can rest assured that you can salvage Shen Bao, because from a purely legal point of view, we will win, and the only variable lies in the diplomacy between the two countries. ”

Qin Shiou understood, these court trials are actually a process, and the laws in Canada are also very dark.

Although Canada claims to the outside world that its courts strictly uphold the attitude of judicial independence, as a part of the state organs, it is impossible for the courts to ignore the realization of the country's foreign policy goals, nor to ignore Canada's diplomatic interests, and to a greater or lesser extent be affected by international relations or international politics.

Generally speaking, countries with close diplomatic ties to Canada are more likely to obtain favorable judgments in Canadian courts, while countries with more diplomatic relations with Canada are more likely to run into trouble in adjudication.

Of course, in addition to Canada, this is also the case in other countries, as for personal interests? The constitution of every country stipulates that personal interests need to serve the interests of the country, and after the judgment of the Mercedes shipwreck, Billy's brother, vice president of Odyssey, complained that "the judgment is completely influenced by politics, and even above the law".

Auerbach speculated that the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs must have wanted to use the Black Axe wreck as a bargaining chip to exchange some project with the Spaniards, but the Spaniards did not agree, so the two sides broke down.

For Canada, the two billion dollars of shipwreck treasures, once auctioned out, the country can get 800 million to 900 million dollars of profits through taxes, this money is not a small amount, last year's GDP of Canada was less than 2 trillion US dollars, this time the tax is 1/2000 of the annual GDP!

After understanding this, Qin Shiou shook his head again and again, fuck, whoever tells him in the future that foreign countries pay attention to judicial justice, he will definitely smoke his life, and the world is as black as a crow.

Auerbach acknowledged this: "It is impossible for governments at all levels not to want a piece of the high-value bulk of the shipwreck treasure." However, because of this, it cannot be said that the government is a robber, our government will only carry out a little biased treatment in the process of punishment, if it is in some countries in Africa and South America, then the sunken ship salvage belongs to the state, then it is called a robber government! ”

Qin Shiou said disdainfully: "Fifty steps and a hundred steps? ”

Auerbach smiled and said, "You can think so, but this is the reality, if you want absolute justice, then go to God and ask for it, only in heaven, God will give all beings absolute equality." ”

It's just a joke, Qin Shiou doesn't care, since the trial is over, go back, wait for the next trial, just hype a few more times, so that the price of the shipwreck treasure can be raised when the autumn auction comes, anyway, the treasure still belongs to him in the end! (To be continued.) )
