Chapter 166: A Defense That Can Be Written into the Textbook (Adding Updates to Everyone's Monthly Pass)
When Hugo saw the reaction at the scene, he exclaimed: "Oops! ”
Hobert skillfully used Arnold's previous momentum to confirm that Arnold had ulterior motives for making a big deal about the situation, so that it would be difficult to lead the problem to class contradictions.
In the second round of defense, Hobert won another narrow victory, and after two small victories in a row, the plaintiff's side already had a huge advantage.
Then the third round of debate began, and Hugo's counsel decisively reoriented his defense, once again dismissing Arnold from responsibility in the matter on the basis of Arnold's non-participation in specific management.
Hobert's defense is also simple: since Arnold is not responsible, why did he make the whole of Beckland aware of it? This is obviously downplaying one's own responsibilities and deliberately evading them.
At this time, Arnold already regretted making this case known to everyone, and he couldn't understand why it was completely incriminating evidence for Hobart to be his advantage.
In the fourth round of debate, Victor Hugo simply gave up on defending himself and began to bargain with Hobert over damages and try to avoid Arnold from criminal liability.
According to common sense, work-related injury compensation is actually a civil dispute, and only if it causes adverse effects or has a huge accident, it will be held legally responsible.
Therefore, Counsel Hugo's defense of exonerating Arnold from criminal responsibility has achieved certain results.
At about 11 a.m., after a lengthy defense, the judge pronounced a verdict: Bob was injured and disabled because of Arnold's inaction, and the defendant Arnold needed to pay Bob a lump sum of 860 pounds and pay Hobert's attorney's fees of 52 pounds and 6 soles, for a total of 912 pounds and 6 soles. Arnold did not commit the crime of intentional injury, so he did not bear criminal responsibility, ordered his factory to scribble the slogan of safe production, and trained employees on safe production.
This much-talked-about "workers' compensation case" finally ended in the plaintiff's victory.
A professor of law at Beckland who came to the auditorium said to the students around him: "This is definitely a defense that can be incorporated into the textbook!" From the beginning of the civil case to the criminal case, from the criminal case to the social case, and then from the social case to the case for which Arnold is personally responsible.
"With every turn I saw Hobart's wisdom and the fierce rivalry between the defendant and the plaintiff. Students, this is a very vivid defense lesson, and Hobert's defense tells us that many times the opponent's advantage is not terrible, on the contrary, the opponent's advantage is a tool that can be used by us. ”
Mike Joseph, a reporter from the Daily Observer, wrote down the professor's words in his sketchbook.
In the auditorium, more people cheered: "Beckland's justice has triumphed!" ”
"Long live justice!"
"The light of justice shines again on Beckland!"
“……”
Those who led the shouting of slogans were, of course, also hired by Hobart.
This is the reward he has for Audrey and Glerint, for whom there is nothing better than the feedback they receive for their efforts.
Hobert glanced at Audrey and Glerint, and sure enough, he saw that Audrey's face was flushed with excitement, and Glerint also showed a satisfied smile.
Give them money, or even give them magical items, and they won't be so satisfied.
After Hobert agreed with Hugo's counsel on a specific time for compensation, he left the plaintiff's dock with Bob.
The reporter immediately gathered around: "Mr. Hobert, what do you feel now?" ”
"Mr. Hobert, what efforts have you made to win today?"
"Mr. Hobert......"
Hobert raised his hand a little tiredly: "I'm sorry everyone, I've been a little tired from the defense just now, if you want an interview, please come to the 'Aslan Barton Law Firm' in the afternoon, and I will be interviewed by you at that time." ”
So the reporters immediately changed the interviewee: "Mr. Bob, how are you going to spend this compensation?" ”
"Are you satisfied with the amount of compensation?"
“……”
Hobart raised his hand again: "Sorry, my client was not ready for the interview......"
"No, Mr. Lawyer." Bob said suddenly, "I'm going to tell everybody, yes, I have to tell everybody that I met a good lawyer." ”
As he spoke, Bob burst into tears: "Before I met Attorney Hobart, none of the lawyers were willing to take my case, and just when I was at my most desperate, just when I was about to accept Arnold's compensation like a handout, Attorney Hobart appeared.
"He, he made me regain my dignity as a human ......"
Bob burst into tears of emotion: "As long as there is a lawyer like Hobert, there is hope for Bakeland!" ”
The newspaper reporters hurriedly wrote down this sentence, and the sketchers also worked hard to record this picture.
There are still certain flaws in the current photographic technology, and the characters have to remain motionless for a long time to complete the photographic process, so the newspaper basically has to hire a sketcher to record the classic picture and match it into the text of the newspaper.
After squeezing Bob out of the crowd and onto the carriage, Hobart smiled and waved at everyone as he got into the car, which prompted the sketchers to write for more.
In their opinion, this is a triumphant salute.
It was only after the carriage began to move forward that Hobart finally relaxed, and then he felt a high degree of spiritual and physical fit.
Today's victory in this lawsuit has allowed him to complete a perfect role again, and he intends to take the "bribe-taker" potion tonight.
Also in the carriage were Thomas and Iconser, and the two captains congratulated Hobert on his victory.
With this case as an example, other workers will be able to claim more reasonable compensation when they are injured at work.
Hobert first thanked them for his joy, and then said to Iconser: "You have to find a way to change Bob's identity and live in a different place, otherwise he will be easily targeted by robbers or thieves." ”
Ikenser nodded, "Leave it to me, we'll protect Bob." ”
Hobert smiled and said to Bob, "You can follow Captain Iconser in a moment, and get ready for your new life!" ”
Bob shook Hobert's hand: "Mr. Lawyer, I, I don't even know how to thank you. ”
Hobert said meaningfully: "I also want to thank you, because in this case, I have gained and felt a lot." ”
Back at the law firm, after Hobert rested for an hour or two, the reporters arrived as promised.
Of course, Hobart knows the role of public opinion, and answers every reporter's question very patiently, even if some questions are tricky, but even if the reporter's question is tricky, they are not Hobert's opponent.
It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that Hobart saw off the last reporter, he stretched, and today's work was finally over.
However, because the potion and his body were further fitted, he didn't feel too tired.
So he talked to Barton and went back to the rental, Hugh and Furth left a note, and they went to the bar to celebrate their victory.
Hobert went to his room, prayed to himself, obtained the extraordinary trait of the "bribe-taker" that had been reunited, and went to the Gal herb shop to buy the supporting materials he needed.
With all the ingredients for the potion, he returned to his home in Queens, and as agreed with Christine, he would talk to Christine before drinking the potion.
