The litigation process of economic disputes is that the parties file a lawsuit with the court and submit a complaint, and the court decides whether to accept it according to the circumstances of the complaint, and the court has the right to choose not to accept the case that does not meet the legal requirements.

The economic dispute between the Henan Provincial People's Publishing House and the Henan Provincial Ten Thousand Books Wholesale Co., Ltd. involves 100,000 yuan, which belongs to the kind of huge amount involved, and the court will definitely accept it.

However, it is very troublesome to hold a court session, and the court will invite both parties to come over for mediation before accepting it, which is why the Jinshui District People's Court notified Li Lin to come over.

Li Lin met President Tong of Yuren Society in the mediation room, and his face was full of confidence and he looked like he was winning.

In the mediation room, the two parties sat opposite each other, and the staff entertained Li Lin with tea.

The mediator extinguished his cigarette and said: "I am Lu Zhenguo of the Jinshui District People's Mediation Committee, let's start now, what does Boss Li think about returning the bid deposit?" ”

Li Lin said: "Yu Renshe's malicious breach of contract has brought huge losses to our company, and what we do is similar to only quoting and not paying at the auction, and I have the right to confiscate the bid deposit." ”

President Tong said: "As far as I know, Shencheng Haitian Publishing House has signed a supply contract with you this morning, and now we have nothing to do with this target, you should return the 100,000 yuan deposit we handed over to your company." ”

The two sides put their views out and began to fight with each other, each saying their own reasoning, and the staff kept adding water to their cups.

The mediator said: "According to the usual practice, the deposit cannot exceed 10% of the estimated price of the project, and the estimated price of Boss Li's project is 750,000 yuan, so the maximum deposit can only be 75,000 yuan." ”

Li Lin smiled and asked, "You mean that I just returned 25,000 yuan to President Tong?" ”

The mediator immediately waved his hand: "Boss Li misunderstood, because the 100,000 yuan deposit is against the convention, so it is unreasonable, so Boss Li should return all the 100,000 yuan deposit." ”

Li Lin couldn't help frowning, it seems that the Tong family does have some connections in Zhengcheng, but he was maintained by the mediator even though he had breached the contract first, which should be his confidence not to take the breach of contract seriously.

President Tong said: "Comrade mediator is insightful, and what is unreasonable will not have legal effect. ”

Li Lin asked the mediator: "Is there any relevant law on the proportion of bid deposits?" ”

The mediator shook his head and said: "The state has not promulgated relevant laws, but the court will fully consider the conventions and customs, and I think that if the lawsuit is filed, Boss Li will lose the case." ”

Li Lin showed a puzzled smile, it seemed that the mediator only wanted to mediate unilaterally, and there was no need to talk about it anymore, so he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't accept this result." ”

President Tong said unhurriedly: "Then see you in court." ”

The mediator's job was completed, and after he left, the staff of the two courts handed over copies of the indictment to Li Lin.

The slightly older staff member said: "If the mediation fails, the court can only file the case, so Mr. Li went back to read the indictment carefully, submitted a reply to the court within 15 days and waited for the court's summons." ”

Li Lin left his contact information and contact address as they requested, put the indictment in a briefcase and left the courthouse.

Ma Yuanyuan, a legal intern who returned to the car and handed over the indictment to the company, said: "It is said that the reply is very important, and you will have three days to write it." ”

Ma Yuanyuan said a little nervously: "Boss, I only wrote the defense assignment in college, and I'm afraid I won't be able to write well." ”

Li Lin said: "I will give you five days, if you can't get a satisfactory defense, there is no need to continue to follow me." ”

Ma Yuanyuan's face instantly became bitter, and he nodded weakly and said, "Boss, I know what to do." ”

To fight a lawsuit, you must hire a lawyer, and this lawsuit may be fought to the end, and it may go to the Henan Provincial High People's Court.

Li Lin wanted to hire a famous lawyer and asked Ma Yuanyuan: "Who is the best lawyer in Zhengcheng?" ”

Ma Yuanyuan said without thinking: "It's Yue Cheng, a gold medal lawyer, he has never lost a lawsuit since he entered the industry, and his lawyer's shop is across the road." ”

There were several law firms across the road, and Santana, under Ma Yuanyuan's guidance, parked outside Yue Cheng's law firm.

Li Lin entered the store and met the gold medal lawyer, who was about fifty years old and looked like a polite old pedant.

Li Lin handed him the complaint and explained the ins and outs, and asked, "What does Yue Dazhu think of my chances of winning?" ”

Lawyer Yue said: "If this lawsuit is handed over to me, it will be 100% successful, but it is not necessarily handed over to someone else, because Zheng Cheng has never had a similar case." ”

This was a bit crazy, and Li Lin asked, "How do you charge?" ’

Lawyer Yue said: "If I can't win, I won't take a penny, and if I win, I will ask for half of the amount involved." ”

Li Lin turned around and left without saying a word, saying in his heart that this old guy didn't wake up and dared to ask for 50,000 yuan in lawyer fees.

Lawyer Yue immediately said: "I'll say that I still say that, no one except me dares to guarantee a 100% victory in this lawsuit." ”

Li Lin stopped at the gate, because he walked face to face with President Tong of the Yu Society.

President Tong squinted his eyes and said, "It's useless for you to find a good lawyer, you will lose this lawsuit." ”

Li Lin waved his hand: "It's useless to talk more, see in court." ”

President Tong said: "Do you really think that Zheng Cheng's gold medal lawyer can help you win the lawsuit? ”

Lawyer Yue swaggered over and said, "President Tong, don't get me wrong, I didn't accept this gentleman's entrustment, although he promised to give me 50,000 yuan in legal fees. ”

President Tong couldn't help but sneer, he felt that Li Lin was crazy, and held Lawyer Yue's hand and said, "Brother Yue's gold medal lawyer's signboard is more expensive than 50,000 yuan, help me fight this lawsuit." ”

Lawyer Yue patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lao Tong, I guarantee that the 100,000 yuan deposit will be returned to Zhao." ”

Li Lin had never seen such a shameless lawyer, and said contemptuously: "I don't think President Tong can win the lawsuit, and I don't think Lawyer Yue can keep the golden signboard, let's see!" ”

After leaving, Ma Yuanyuan was upset: "Lawyer Yue is so shameless, the boss didn't promise to give him 50,000 yuan at all." ”

Li Lin said: "There are more shameless people, don't pay attention to him, do you know other famous barristers?" ”

Ma Yuanyuan said: "I don't know, let's go to other stores and ask." ”

Li Lin walked into the Changsheng Law Firm next door, and the lawyer Changsheng asked for 30,000 yuan when he opened his mouth, and he also regarded Li Lin's case as a big fat sheep.

After visiting 5 law firms in a row, the quotation was not less than 30,000 yuan, Li Lin smiled angrily: "Yuanyuan has a lawyer you know, introduce me to a cheap one." ”

Ma Yuanyuan shrunk his neck and said, "I said don't be angry, I have a senior who just got a lawyer's certificate last month." ”

Li Lin smiled again and said, "You want me to smash the gold medal lawyer's signboard with a preliminary nobody?" That's a really good idea, take me to your senior! ”
