Brooklyn finally approved Harvey's application in accordance with the relevant regulations. However, as soon as the court opened the next day, Brooklyn directly announced the other party's passive response attitude and imposed a fine of $1,000.

There has been no change in the attitude of responding to the lawsuit. At noon, at a Mexican restaurant, the Brooklyn group met Jeffrey Fahn.

The gossipy Bob 'tailgated' Jeffrey Fahn into the bathroom and returned shortly afterwards with a strange look.

"What do you hear?" Nelly asked curiously. She didn't like gossip, but the recent operation really made her suffer a lot, and she was in pain to record the testimony of those unnutritious witnesses.

"He seems to have quarreled with the company's people." Bob pointed to a gloomy Jeff and whispered

"I didn't hear it too clearly, but he yelled at the phone and dropped it." As he spoke, Jeffrey walked over to him.

Several people looked at each other, pretended to be indifferent, and enjoyed lunch separately.

"Hello Judge Brooklyn, I'm ......" Brooklyn interrupted Jeff with a wave of his hand. He gestured to a few people on the other side, who were looking this way with curiosity on their faces.

"Those are members of the jury." Brooklyn gestured to a table in the other corner, where a young man and woman were sitting against the wall, propped up the table with their hands and holding up their phones.

"Those two are investigators from the Judicial Conduct Commission." Mexican restaurant as e.. Countless trial parties, jurors, lawyers and even judges will come to dine here, and the Judicial Conduct Committee does not expect to investigate anything here, but only reminds those who come to dine to pay attention to the occasion.

"You are now the representative of the present party, Mr. Jeffrey, and it seems inappropriate for us to make such contact." Brooklyn said.

He doesn't want to care about what kind of trouble he has, his goal of taking over the class action lawsuit has been achieved, and he wants to end the trial honestly now.

…………………… In the afternoon, the trial continued. Fang's strategy is still the same, the difference is that Harvey is alone in the dock.

Brooklyn is unusual, no longer angry, and no longer trying to change. At 3:10 a.m., Brooklyn ended the trial, which lasted only 100 minutes, adjourned the trial, and announced it in court

"Due to the defendant's negative attitude in responding to the lawsuit, a fine of 2,000 US dollars was imposed." Sending off the people involved in the class action lawsuit, Brooklyn used the remaining two hours to open another one.

The next day, it still didn't change. Brooklyn announced at noon

"Due to the defendant's negative attitude in responding to the lawsuit, a fine of $4,000 was imposed." In the afternoon, Brooklyn still ended the trial early, announced the adjournment, and

"Because the defendant's attitude in responding to the lawsuit was negative and wasting judicial resources, a fine of $8,000 was imposed." In the evening, Harvey broke into Jeffrey Fahn's office.

"Mr. Jeffrey, how long do you want to drag it out like this?" Harvey asked. Jeff Li packed up his office belongings with a cold attitude

"I don't know."

"I have submitted my resignation letter to the company. There's a handover going on, and someone will connect with you in my place later. ”

"You're leaving?" Harvey was a little incredulous.

"Hmm" Jeffrey nodded, his face expressionless. He is no longer in the same spirits as he was when he was entrusted with a heavy assignment a few days ago.

"Do you know what will happen if you keep dragging it out?" Harvey asked, standing in front of Jeffrey. Jeff bypassed Harvey, took off the family portrait on the wall and stuffed it into a cardboard box, opened the drawer and began to organize his personal belongings.

"The judge, Brooklyn." Harvey asked himself

"He's going to fine him tomorrow at noon, and the amount will be in the afternoon."

"If this continues, the fines will be millions on the fourth day. On the sixth day, it was tens of millions! Jeffrey paused, then stuffed a few books into the cardboard box and shook his head

"He wouldn't dare."

"That's a judge who dares to sentence a juvenile to death, what do you think he wouldn't dare?" Harvey argued.

Compared with Jeffrey Fahn, he is an insider who understands the horrors of Brooklyn's justice and harshness.

The law stipulates that judges may not arbitrarily impose penalties on the parties, and the amount of the penalties should be within a reasonable range.

But what is the reasonable range? This matter itself is a problem, a passive response to the lawsuit, a waste of judicial resources, and Judge Brooklyn is not wrong at all!

If there is a reason to do so, the Judicial Conduct Committee will only support the punishment set by the Brooklyn judge, and even if it encounters a 'like-minded' investigator with Brooke, it will think that Brooklyn's punishment is too light!

"It's no longer up to the family to decide." Jeff explained, shaking his head

"The case caught the attention of several other broadcasters." It didn't take him to understand what it meant.

"Where are you going?" As he spoke, Jeffrey Fahn had already packed up and walked out with the cardboard box.

Harvey caught up and asked.

"A," Jeffrey Fahn said as he walked. …………………… Things are going in a direction that neither Harvey nor Brooklyn wants.

I have gone my own way, and there is no sign of repentance. Brooklyn decisively increased the penalty, and the fine continued to double.

At the same time, he also noticed that many people came to the empty auditorium today. But Brooklyn didn't bother to bother where these people came from.

When it came to his court, he couldn't let it go. Unbeknownst to Brooklyn, on Friday, someone filed a complaint against Brooklyn with the Judicial Conduct Commission alleging abuse of power and unfair trial.

That's when Brooklyn's reputation came into play with the attitude he expressed when Lyry Crewe was in prison.

The Judicial Conduct Commission did not receive complaints at all. Later that day, the acting chief justice of the Second Circuit issued a public statement in support of Brooklyn's decision.

The acting chief justice did not mention the broadcaster, but only praised Brooklyn's work ethic and praised Brooklyn as a 'good judge to learn from'.

Monday, July 23rd. Harvey walked into the Brooklyn office with a bald man he didn't know from Brooklyn who claimed to be a representative of the broadcasting company.

They came to sign an agreement to settle. Judging by Jason Bull's attitude, he was unwilling.

Brooklyn would not have agreed to a settlement. Seeing that the victory is in sight, what is the settlement? But several of the representatives insisted on settlement.

The balding representative is significantly inferior to Jeffrey Fahn, who triumphantly describes the benefits of signing the deal - 16 months of free access to premium channels.

Several representatives of the parties were very impressed.

"It's a class action lawsuit!" Trenko was so angry that he frothed at the stars and shouted angrily at the bald representative.

"What do you think of the courthouse?" Brooklyn was also annoyed by this operation and asked out loud.

Harvey hurriedly stood in front of the bald representative and explained. According to Harvey, the 16-month free use of the pay-to-pay channel 'compensation' is not just for the four representatives in front of him, but for all the parties that apply to him.

At the beginning of the case, the court has already publicized to the outside world, as long as you feel that you meet the requirements of the "party to the case", you can download the form through the court's official website, fill in the form and apply, and become a party to the case.

Harvey's reference to 'applies to all parties herein' refers to those who have filled out the application form.

This is the normal process for a class action, and if the 'class' party wins the class action, the court's decision will automatically apply to everyone who completes the application form.

For example, in this case, if the trial had continued and the jury had found the plaintiff in favour, Brooklyn would have awarded the plaintiff $5,000.

This ruling applies to other persons who do not show up but fill out the application form, not to those who show up or do not show up but do not complete the form, which will be considered an automatic waiver.

The money will be remitted to the corresponding account by mail or other means according to the information filled in the form.

Harvey's 'uncharacteristically' 'no longer protecting the interests of the client' is because he hears Brooklyn's emotions in Brooklyn's words.

If the arrogant balding representative were allowed to speak again, he would surely anger Brooklyn. It is not a good thing to provoke the trial judge at any time.

Once Brooklyn is provoked, the agreement will not be recognized by the judge and the trial will continue. At this stage of the trial, anyone could sense Brooklyn's displeasure.

This dissatisfaction will have a huge impact on the jury. Even if the trial goes to the end according to normal procedures, the jury will choose the plaintiff to be the prevailing party.

At that time, the compensation will be paid for the direct bankruptcy. There is no option to delay and let the trial continue. Because Brooklyn has already made it clear that if he dares to delay, he will increase the fine by a geometric multiple every day.

It was not easy to convince the four representatives that this was the only chance to reduce the damage. After the bald deputies shut up, Xavi took his place and took over the negotiations in full.

He did not continue to make concessions, insisted on 16 months without wavering, and as for compensation, he did not have a penny. Jason Bull and the others are not in a hurry, they have already seen the embarrassing situation, and they will continue to drag it out if they can't talk, and they firmly believe that victory is at hand.

However, they are not in a hurry, and some are in a hurry. The three representatives of the parties expressed their unwillingness to continue to delay, and they thought that 16 months was good.

An angry Trenco almost blurted out, 'Did you take the money?' Benjamin is one against three, and it is difficult to support alone.

By the end of the day, the three representatives had joined forces and believed that Benjamin was an 'undercover agent' sent by the ATC.

Harvey spoke at the right time

"Although the litigation costs of a class action lawsuit are borne by the lawyer, if the case is won, the lawyer will receive unimaginable compensation." One sentence puts the ATC on the opposite side of the representation of the parties.

Except for Teresa's father, whose tone was quite gentle, the other two almost scolded. Harvey said again

"If you believe that a representative party is unable to represent the interests of a party, you can apply to a judge to re-examine his or her status as a representative party." This sentence made the eyes of the three representatives of the parties light up, and also made the three ATC feel tired.

Eventually, Jason Bull agreed to sign the agreement. The agreement stipulates that the order of the program will be changed so that adult programs will no longer be broadcast at 8 p.m. and adult programs will be moved late into the night.

Compensate for 16 months of free use of premium channels for your own improper arrangement. After signing and the agreement came into effect, Harvey got up with a smile and left.

The three representatives left with the bald representatives, and the three ATC were exhausted, and they couldn't say whether they were disappointed or hated.

Brooklyn watched a big show with relish and was satisfied. This class action lawsuit ended in such a laughable way.

In fact, if you insist on continuing, you can still do it. For example, Brooklyn can ask the court to investigate the accounts of the clients represented by Saivi, find out how their house in Manhattan came about, and find out why they were able to get into the ABC job.

But it doesn't make sense. Brooklyn's goal was to show support for Lyley Crewe through a class action lawsuit, and in turn to monopolize the fattest piece of Lyley Crewe's legacy.

Now his purpose has been achieved. If the three representatives of the parties rise up and insist on not signing the agreement, or if other parties come forward to oppose the agreement, the trial can also continue.

Not really. The 16-month free premium channel access has been granted under the supervision of the court, and all parties who have received the contract are satisfied.

Pay channels reopened that day, and adult programming at 8 p.m. was moved to 11:30 p.m. The other party meticulously fulfilled the agreement, and no one on the other side of the agreement expressed dissatisfaction.

This incident brought a great shock to Ray. That night, Ray asked Brooklyn a number of questions about the matter.

"Because this class action lawsuit didn't concern most people from the beginning." Brooklyn has the answer.

Recently, he has made a lot of preparations for this class action lawsuit and has learned a lot about class action lawsuits.

"Class action lawsuits, by their very nature, can be easily broken down one by one. This is what distinguishes it from other lawsuits. ”

"For most people, 16 months of free access is a free purchase, and all they have to do is fill out a two-minute form. This rate of return is enough to satisfy them. ”

"In most people's eyes, they took advantage. Most people don't think that there will be greater gains if the trial continues, and they are afraid that if they continue, they will lose even the current advantage. Brooklyn patiently explained

"If it is a homicide or a robbery, the person concerned is a specific individual, and the case involves his vital interests, and he himself has tangible losses." [To tell the truth,Recently chased more,Change the source switch,Read aloud with more timbre,.yeguoyueduAndroidApple can be.】

】

"When the agreed compensation cannot make up for this loss, the parties will naturally not give up."

"In class action lawsuits, most of the parties actually don't feel that their interests have been damaged at all, and these people who fill out the forms are filled out with the psychology of 'idle is idle, what if they win the lawsuit'. In their real minds, they don't think they can win the case at all. ”

"To put it bluntly, it's just a plate of loose sand." Brooklyn hit the nail on the head

"Counting on a plate of scattered sand to unite is a dream."
