Chapter 123: Family Turmoil (Part II)

A few hours later, the 7th Civil Court of the Ministry of Justice of Othello. {}

The chief judge of the Ministry of Justice, Difuni, who wore a judge's robe and looked solemn, appeared on the judge's bench again. In the case of former Governor of Police Brandon two months ago, the presiding judge in charge of the case, Tenfney, gained a reputation, and there were even rumors that he had won the favor of the Federal Supreme Court and would soon be promoted to the Supreme Court of Planet Alpha, and that he had been selected for the next federal justice minister.

And now, just by looking at the unconcealed pride and conceit on his face, one can guess that these rumors that have spread in Proxima Centauri are generally credible. At the very least, Difuni should have been assured by some people that he couldn't suppress his brilliance.

With his current status and status, it stands to reason that he should no longer be involved in any cases, and a stable transition to a formal appointment would be the wisest course of action. However, the expansion of ambition caused by the multiplication of prestige made Difoni not just satisfied with a post-election position for the Minister of Justice, he hoped to obtain a higher position, and hoped to actually get the position of that minister. So to accomplish this ambition, he must have the support of certain people. And the Seventh Civil Court of the Ministry of Justice of Othello is a good place for him to rally support.

Among the ** divisions of the Ministry of Justice, the Seventh Civil Court is a relatively special existence. Under normal circumstances, ordinary civil disputes are never dealt with here, and only when the case involves a wealthy family dispute is decided in the Seventh Civil Court.

Just like the Wright before? In Auswald's case, it was a place for the wealthy to carry out internal purges. And Tivoni, who had served as the president of the Seventh Civil Court, was also awarded the Anse El after the verdict in that case. Ausvid's favor, thus rising to prominence in the Ministry of Justice.

Now, he clearly wants to replicate that success. And this time, the help he wants to get comes from another heir to a wealthy family, Cyril? Byron. A traditional tycoon rooted in the capital planet Alpha and with great influence in Congress. Defoni believes that as long as he can get Cyril? Byron's support, then the post of federal justice minister will be at your fingertips.

As for the pre-trial targeting Martina? The small means used by Byron were arranged by Cyril with a slight hint of the Later Fortune. With his research on the case and his knowledge of federal law, he assured Cyril even before the trial that he would be able to completely dismantle the preponderance of evidence that Martina had in his possession, and that the verdict would be completely in favor of Richier's wishes.

Regarding the shady deal between Tilfini and Cyril, Martina, who has already appeared in court, naturally does not know. However, looking at Cyril's calm appearance in the seat, Martina could roughly guess the invisible advantage that the title of heir of the Byron family brought to Cyril in this judgment.

"Court Session~"

As the hammer fell, Judge Diffoni opened the court and publicly read out the dispute between Cyril and Martina.

As the complainant, Cyril? Byron was the first to speak. He directly pointed out the Byron family's ownership of the Byron Heavy Metals Trading Company against Proxima Centauri and accused Martina? Byron's current behavior is an illegal embezzlement of the company's assets, and Martina is required to immediately hand over the management rights and shares of the company.

And as a defendant, Martina? Byron argued reasonably, saying that he was legally inheriting his father's estate, and that Byron Heavy Metals Trading Company belonged to his father, Georgia? Byron's private property is not part of the control of Byron's headquarters.

Both sides did not back down on the issue of affiliation, which made the atmosphere of the courtroom seem tense for a while.

"Since the two sides are irreconcilable on the core issues, then, please hand over the relevant evidence and make reasonable submissions respectively."

As soon as Judge Tiforni announced, Cyril's assistant strode forward and handed over a thick stack of evidence to Defoni. Nishizawa, who stepped forward in place of Martina, suddenly changed his complexion, and he finally knew what he had overlooked.

In a trance, he handed over his evidence to Judge Tefoni, and Nishizawa ran off the stage in embarrassment as if fleeing for his life, and rushed to Martina's side urgently.

In such a solemn occasion now, Nishizawa's embarrassed and embarrassed appearance suddenly caused many spectators to laugh, and even Martina frowned in displeasure.

"Nishizawa, what's the matter with you?"

"Little ...... Miss...... Oops, we ignored a very critical point~" Ignoring the pointing and pointing of everyone around him, Nishizawa lowered his voice and turned around in a hurry.

Seeing Nishizawa's uneasy look, Martina's heart suddenly tightened, and she blurted out: "What is it?" What did you find? ”

"Byron~"

"Byron?"

"Yes, Byron's naming right belongs to Byron's headquarters ~ The company name is an intangible asset recognized by law, and the Byron trademark is one of the five most valuable trademarks in the Federation. Oh my God~ The royalties for this naming right alone are enough for them to take a large amount of shares. ”

“……”

Nishizawa's words made Martina's face suddenly turn as pale as snow.

As Nishizawa said, Martina overlooked this extremely important point. In her general concept, her father's surname is Byron, she is also surnamed Byron, and she is a family member recognized by the Byron family, so according to family practice, it is allowed to hang the name Byron on the self-built company.

From an ordinary point of view, this is the protection of the Byron family members to the family members, but if it is more true from a legal point of view, then this title can make a big fuss.

When her father established the company, Martina's father was still attached to the family and hoped that his actions would be recognized by the family. Therefore, he did not hesitate to give his company the title of Byron, but he did not expect that his loyalty was exchanged for the shameless greed of the family, and became a favorable breakthrough for Cyril to compete for the right to operate.

"How much stake will I lose......" Martina asked, her lips trembling, pushing her back.

"I don't know...... The intangible part of the asset is difficult to calculate. Nishizawa gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "Considering Cyril's position advantage, it may exceed twenty percent." But under normal circumstances, it should be ...... It should be around twenty percent ......"

Nishizawa's tone sounded a little empty-hearted, but in fact, his estimate was much larger than that, after all, there is no direct legal representation of the part of the value added to the enterprise by assessing the value of intangible assets. In other words, it is basically up to the judge and jury to determine the due value of an intangible asset, and looking at Cyril? With the calm smile on Byron's face, Nishizawa was almost certain that he had made a secret deal with Judge Teforney.

Nishizawa did not dare to tell Martina the results of his true assessment, Martina was the person he cared about the most, and was even regarded by him as the goddess of life, and he was afraid that he would tell the desperate news by himself. Moreover, he also eagerly hoped that his guess was wrong, and prayed for the fairness of the law and the justice of the judges.

"Martina? Byron, in the proof of inheritance you showed as well as Georgia? Byron's proof of assets states that Georgia? Is it true that Byron's registered capital at the Hermes spaceport is 70 million federal dollars? After reviewing Martina's submission, Judge Tefoni asked aloud.

"Yes~" Martina replied nervously with her hands clenched with a pale face.

"So tell me, two years later, what is the valuation of the assets of Byron Heavy Metals Trading Company?"

"It's about 30 billion federal dollars......"
