After some cross-examination, Hobert concluded, "Did you hear that? In Arnold's factory, there is no reminder of safe production at all. Even if it's a few phrases written on the walls of the workshop with paint.

"As for what the opposing lawyer said, Arnold did not participate in the management, but the legal person of this factory is Arnold, and he has unshirkable responsibility for all accidents in the factory!"

After concluding his remarks, Hobart also called in the witnesses he had found, and the five witnesses, after swearing to their respective gods, testified that Arnold's factory was not in safe production.

Hugo began to cross-examine the witnesses, and he asked only one question: "Do you know how to write the phrase 'safe production'?" If you know, write it out. ”

Only one worker wrote the crooked "safe production", and the other four wrote the phrases, grammar and letters incorrectly.

It's already nice because they're workers, so they know some letters and phrases.

Hugo spread his hands: "See, how many people can understand the prompt of 'safe production'?" What is the practical use of such a slogan? ”

This summary elicited laughter from Gusta and the others, much like a sneer or a mockery.

"I know, sir." One witness suddenly said, "I can't write it, but if I see it, I'll know it." ”

Hugo was stunned.

The other three witnesses followed: "I know each other too!" ”

"I know the phrase when I see it."

Hugo immediately changed several directions and asked, such as: "Did you come here to testify, did you receive any money from the plaintiff's lawyer?" ”

The witness replied: "Yes, but it is compensation for lost work." ”M.biQuge.biZ

The more questions he asked, the more Hugo found that the witnesses' answers were flawless, and he even suspected that Hobert had trained them.

So he put away all his contempt and made Hobart the formidable enemy he had ever encountered.

This is not to say that Counsel Hugo's defense is in a problem or slow to respond.

It's that since he started working as a lawyer, he hasn't handled a single worker's commission, he doesn't know the worker at all, or the worker is just a concept for him.

In Hugo's concept, the workers are coarse, ignorant, lawless, unreasonable, and a bunch of curly-haired baboons with sparse hair.

But he underestimated a person's determination to survive, and even if a person was ignorant, he would show a very alert side when it came to survival.

In Hobert's description yesterday afternoon, these five witnesses have understood that the outcome of this lawsuit is related to their future living conditions, so they are fighting with 12 points of spirit today.

For Hugo, this is just a well-paid lawsuit, and even the work of defense materials and finding witnesses is also carried out by his assistant, which is customary.

It's just that this lawsuit will be difficult to win if it is just conventional.

In the first round of witnesses, the plaintiff won by a small margin.

In the second round of defense, Hugo tried to make the defense direction into the scope of his expertise: "The most commendable thing about the Kingdom of Rune is freedom and democracy.

"Although these two words and meanings were invented by the Republic of Intis, they are better developed in our country.

"I believe that it is Mr. Arnold's freedom to hire who to work for him, and it is Bob's freedom to enter Mr. Arnold's factory or not.

"All of this was done freely and voluntarily, and now that Bob is injured, it is obviously an unreasonable demand to put all the blame on Mr. Arnold!"

Hobart defended: "Yes, 'liberty' is a good word, but it must be restrained.

"The freedom that the defendant's lawyer refers to includes the freedom to buy and sell the locals as cattle in the southern continent, and the freedom to exploit the locals in the Rorsted Islands without a bottom line, and this freedom is often the darkest side of human nature.

"The law is the bottom line of freedom, and Arnold's behavior is free without a bottom line, and my client has already reached an employment relationship when he enters Mr. Arnold's factory.

"In such a state, Mr. Arnold is liable for the work-related injuries suffered by my client."

The judge did not prevent them from arguing ideologically, because the lawsuit already had a certain social character.

Hugo looked at the judge's expression before continuing: "As a citizen of Rune, you have enough democratic rights.

"My client is only responsible for fixed responsibilities, but if all the responsibilities in the factory are held accountable by my client, how can it reflect the democracy of the Kingdom of Rune?

"Bob has his power and responsibility, but this does not include the right to claim excessive compensation from the employer, if the claim is successful in this case and Bob's rights and interests are protected, how should my rights and interests be protected?

"As a citizen of a democratic country, my client should not ignore his rights and interests, otherwise Beckland's economic rules will be severely hit!"

Hobart defended: "The democracy that the defendant's lawyer is talking about is only democracy in the sense of money, and with all the members of the House of Commons, who is a worker? Which MP is a farmer?

"Is democracy really democracy that is not representative of all classes?"

At this point, Bob's co-workers cheered, but Hobart noticed that the reaction of the others was quite normal.

When Hobart saw the smile on Counsel Hugo's face, he suddenly realized that this was a topic that Hugo deliberately provoked, in order to elevate the contradiction between Bob and Arnold to a class contradiction.

Sure enough, it's a barrister! Hobert sighed in his heart, realizing the point of the problem so quickly.

He immediately changed his tactics: "The defendant is a person who does not understand neither freedom nor what true democracy is, such a person is quite rare in Beckland, and he has been stirring up contradictions throughout Beckland with his personal grievances.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you willing to pay for the consequences of Arnold's inaction?"

Hugo immediately couldn't laugh, he didn't expect an obscure lawyer like Hobart to react so quickly.

Hobert's speech continued: "Excuse me, don't you think it's strange that a workers' compensation case has received the attention of the whole of Beckland?

"Why is it getting so much attention? It is because the defendant wants the situation to escalate and thus rely on compensation.

"Or else? How can people pay attention to an ordinary workers' compensation case? ”

When Hobart said this, everyone in the audience was convinced, especially the children of the aristocracy, who had indeed heard of a workers' compensation case for the first time.
