Chapter 52: The Law in the Law
The pastor handed a note to Liang Kun, "Al Latat is a person who unites (and wins), and this case, whether it is a joint lawyer or a lawyer from Dongxing, is not easy to interfere with." I heard that the daughter of Uncle Ye Songbai is a lawyer, and I have a little friendship with Ye Songbai, I will call him, you can find his daughter according to this address, she should help. ”
Liangkun took the note and said with some unease: "Lian Gongle, it's just a small club, can their community lawyer cover it?" ”
Hearing Liangkun's tone of disdain for the name of Liangongle, the pastor said angrily: "Small words? There are more than 10,000 younger brothers in Hong Kong, which is more than your little brothers, right? You stinky boy, you haven't learned to walk yet, you just want to fly! Come out and mix, you can't be too ambitious! How long have you been in the middle of the world? Liangongle is a small word, but Ye Songbai is not a small person. The size of the prefix does not equal the strength of the word. Ye Songbai and Liu Rongju co-founded Liangongle, and Liu Rongju's other identity is the first horse boy of Macau gambling king Ho Hongsheng. Back then, Ho Hongsheng wanted to go to Macau to bid for the right to operate a casino, and the Macau people said that Ho Hongsheng would not leave Macao alive, and Liu Rongju accompanied Ho Hongsheng through Macau single-handedly. Ye Songbai's relationship goes straight to the upper class society of Hong Kong and Macao, and it is far from being limited by the quagmire of the community. Ye Songbai's daughter is not a lawyer of the association of Liangongle, but she is far more sure of winning this kind of lawsuit than the lawyers of those large associations. ”
……
Lawyer's Firm.
"Lawyer Ye Yingwen, that's the general story, I don't know what else you need to know about this case?" After Liangkun finished speaking, he casually glanced left and right, and found that Lin Huaile was looking at the female lawyer opposite.
The female lawyer is Ye Yingwen, the daughter of Liangongle's uncle Ye Songbai introduced by the pastor, who is tall and tall, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a pointed chin, and on the whole can only be said to be delicate. The high cheekbones show that this is a very strong woman, and Lin Huaile's frivolous appearance may anger her.
Liangkun quietly gave Lin Huaile a punch, making Lin Huaile grin.
"Big brother, what are you doing?"
"Sitting, standing, sitting, sitting, standing, rolling, into the corridor."
As an actual act of apology, Liangkun was seen by Ye Yingwen, nodded lightly, and accepted Liangkun's kindness.
Seeing Lin Huaile get up from the sofa and walk out of the room, Ye Yingwen also relaxed a little, Lin Huaile's wolf-like eyes were really uncomfortable.
Ye Yingwen leaned back a little and said, "Mr. Lin, my family has already told me about the background of you and Brother Ling. Let me start by giving you an introduction to the litigation system in Hong Kong and what I can do for you.
Hong Kong law is a common law system, and its court and lawyer system have learned from the characteristics of the United Kingdom to a certain extent, and at the same time have its own characteristics. There are four levels of courts in Hong Kong: the Magistrates' Courts, the District Court, the High Court and the Court of Final Appeal, and the maximum sentence and civil damages that can be imposed by different levels of courts vary, for example, the maximum sentence in the District Court is 7 years, and the maximum amount of civil compensation is not more than HK$1 million.
There are two types of solicitors in Hong Kong, one is a barrister and the other is a solicitor. Barristers and solicitors are only different in their division of labour and have no difference in status. A barrister is a litigator, a trial lawyer, who specializes in litigation. There is no restriction on the right to appear in court, from the Magistrates' Courts to the Court of Final Appeal. Solicitors handle a wide range of legal matters but their right to appear in court is more restricted, and they can only appear in the inner chambers (i.e. closed sittings) of the Magistrates' Courts, the District Court and the Court of First Instance of the High Court. When a solicitor is unable to appear in court, a barrister is required to appear in court, and the process of accepting the appointment of a Hong Kong barrister must go through the solicitor. A solicitor is an intermediary between a client and a barrister, whether it is a company or an individual who needs to handle a litigation case, cannot go directly to the law firm to find a barrister, nor can he directly call, meet or talk to the barrister, the client must be accompanied by a solicitor to talk to the barrister for a meeting. I'm a solicitor myself. ”
Liangkun was a little puzzled, "Lawyer Ye Yingwen, I just wanted you to take my brother to the police station to surrender and turn himself in, so that he wouldn't be framed by those policemen." You have introduced me so much legal knowledge that it seems that you have some different views on this case. ”
Ye Yingwen leaned forward, and the index finger of his right hand dotted on the void, "Look at you, help you." There is no need for your brother to turn himself in, on the contrary, your brother should accuse the twins of blackmailing him under the pretense of having sex. ”
"Solution?"
Ye Yingwen said confidently: "According to the information you provided, we can prove to the judge that the twins are the kind of girls who are deformed and promiscuous, and live on the streets, which is the so-called 'old mud girl'." On the one hand, they socialize with Solvay and get food and lodging; On the other hand, they lured your brother into having sex and extorted HK$40,000 from your brother by threatening him to be a friend of Su Wei. Legally, this constitutes the crime of extortion. This is because the offence of extortion under section 23 of the Hong Kong Theft Ordinance is defined as 'any person who makes any improper demand by intimidation for the benefit of himself or another person, or with the intention of causing loss to another person, commits the offence of extortion'. ”
Liangkun still doesn't understand a little, which is completely beyond the legal knowledge he learned at the police academy, "The crime of extortion is a criminal offense, and if you can't persuade the prosecutor to prosecute, it won't solve the problem." ”
Ye Yingwen glanced at Liangkun appreciatively, "I didn't expect Mr. Lin to know about law." ”
Liang Kun didn't care about the stall, "I went to the police academy. ”
Ye Yingwen nodded knowingly and smiled slightly, "Understood." Where the police do not file a case and the procurator does not prosecute any crime that violates personal or property rights, the victim may directly file a lawsuit with the court. So, that's not a problem. ”
After listening to Ye Yingwen's words, Liangkun carefully deduced in his heart, nodded heavily, and said with a smile: "Lawyer Ye Yingwen's professionalism is really admirable!" I'll leave this case to you! ”
Ye Yingwen also said with a smile: "Working with someone who understands like Mr. Lin is also a pleasant work experience. ”
……
Walking out of the lawyer's office, Liangkun handed over the entrustment agreement he had just signed to Lin Huaile, who looked curious.
Lin Huaile turned two pages and returned it to Liangkun: "All in English?!" They know me, I don't know them! ”
Liangkun said angrily: "In order not to let you go to prison, it will cost more than 100,000 yuan." ”
Lin Huaile was stunned and sighed: "This is more than I gave to the twins." Why didn't they rob it? ”
"They're getting there faster than they can rob them!"
