Chapter Seventy-Four: Favoritism

Mr. Robin finally put on a new hat and was much better in spirit, though he still looked a little cramped on the carriage road.

As soon as Hobart got out of the car, Robin and his cousin David immediately greeted him: "Good morning, Attorney Hobart. ”

"Good morning, both." Hobart smiled, "Your living conditions seem to have improved, and it seems that my persuasion has some effect." ”

"Your advice has made us see the truth." Mr. Robin said.

Hobert bowed slightly, he was still happy to let two people who had gone astray see clearly the deception of this era.

He led Robin and his cousin to his desk: "What are you having trouble again?" ”

Robin looked at David, who was much taller than Robin, with two mustaches, and didn't look very good-tempered, but in front of Hobert, David had the same cramped attitude as Robin: "It's not us, sir." ”

He seemed to organize the language before he said: "It is a co-worker of mine who, while at work, the machine devoured one of his legs and one hand, and he wanted to be compensated for 300 pounds, but the factory owner was only willing to give 100 pounds."

"He has found several lawyers himself, and those lawyers have said that the compensation he wants is too high and he is unwilling to take this case, and you may be his last hope."

Hobert thought back to the statute on workers' compensation, and found that he could not remember the part of the statute that he could think of as a crossing.

He asked, "Are your co-workers incapacitated?" ”

"Yes." David replied, "Not only that, but now he has lost his family and has to beg for a living.

"He, he wanted 300 pounds in compensation, he wanted to buy a piece of land in the suburbs, and he said that he had grown up in the field since he was a child, and he could still grow crops with one hand."

Hobart nodded, and according to his opinion, 300 pounds was not too much of a claim for compensation.

However, he remembers a colleague who had said in a casual conversation with a colleague that there was an unwritten rule in the factory that there was an unwritten rule of £100 for disability and £150 for death.

Although Hobert sympathized with David's co-worker, he was not in a hurry to say, "I want to talk to your co-worker in person." ”

David nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll send him over in the afternoon." ”

After sending Robin and David away, Hobert went to the bookcase to find the civil compensation section and flipped through it, and there was only one law for workers' compensation: if a worker is injured on the job, the employer is obligated to bear the medical expenses and compensate accordingly.

Only then did Hobart realize that it was not because he had forgotten the relevant laws, but that the relevant laws were only so vague.

There is no basis for compensation in different cases such as injury, disability, death, etc., and it is only "obliged to bear"!

Generally, in cases where the legal provisions are not clearly expressed, the judge can only rely on his own judgment when making a judgment, or make a judgment based on previous cases, or according to some conventional rules.

Ironically, the Workers' Compensation Act has clear provisions on how workers should compensate for losses caused to employers. How to compensate the employer for losses up to 10 pounds, how to compensate for losses of 10 to 20 pounds, how to compensate for losses of 20 to 50 pounds, and how to compensate for losses up to 800 pounds to 1,000 pounds, are all clear and clear.

Hobert scoffed: "It's almost a law that 'protects the rights and interests of capitalists and nobles.'" ”

Back at his desk, Hobart realized that David's case was difficult to win, even if the client's request was justified or even humble.

And as long as you take on such a case, it is easy to be the enemy of some conventional rules.

Then Hobert thought again, he was now an extraordinary, and he had an upper-class background, why did he live as carefully as in his previous life?

This case is taken!

Since you are living a new life, of course, you have to experience a different life!

Once he had made up his mind, Hobart began to prepare for it.

When he came up with a feasible idea, he found that it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.

Hobert went to Barton's office and briefed Barton on Mr. Polley's case, but he gave only a brief description of the Henry family.

Mr. Poli's case is officially closed.

"I didn't know there would be such a big danger in this case." Barton said that if he knew there was such a great danger, he would not have given the case to Hobert.

Hobart smiled: "Some dangers can't be avoided, but fortunately, I handled them properly, and after the crisis, I can be regarded as some gains." ”

Establishing a stable relationship with the official Extraordinaire is his greatest gain, which is unmatched by the use of 2-355.

"It's time for you to get a lawyer's license." Barton jumped to the next topic: "Because of your excellent performance, I will write a letter of recommendation to you and ask a friend to help you make the exam process a little smoother." ”

Now Hobart uses a "paralegal certificate", with which he can handle some complex criminal cases and be qualified to defend his clients in formal court.

After thanking Mr. Barton, Hobart returned to his seat and began his daily reflection.

In dealing with Mr. Polley's case, he felt that he had made no obvious mistakes, but there were some lessons to be kept in mind: when dealing with the official extraordinary, it was always necessary to consider whether you could take the initiative, especially the initiative to divide the spoils of war.

This time when he met the official extraordinary, he was a little hasty, he didn't have time to think too much, if there is cooperation in the future, he must talk about how to divide the spoils first.

As for the third case given by Barton, it still has to be handled, although there may be a certain risk, but as Hobart is now stronger and more powerful, and his resources are more and more extensive, his ability to deal with problems has been strengthened. Therefore, Hobert is confident that he can avoid or deal with the risks encountered in the case.

Of course, the most important point is that taking the initiative to deal with the third case is tantamount to taking advantage of the "law of extraordinary feature aggregation".

After dealing with Mr. Polly's case, Hobart felt the signs of potion digestion again, and if he took the initiative to use the rules again, his potion would definitely continue to be digested.

And using the "Law of Extraordinary Characteristics Aggregation" to digest potions seems to be faster, and Hobart feels that his "lawyer" potions seem to have been digested a lot!

As long as you keep using the rules and keep summarizing, I believe that the speed of digestion may be faster.
