At the beginning, I want to quit the arena

Chapter 89
Yang Qingyi was dressed in casual clothes, wearing a peaked cap, and sat quietly in the auditorium. She did not expect that Shengjiale's Dakong Company would sue seven pirate companies including Howard Johnson Bookstore, Tianlong Company, and Seal Company at the same time!
Before she came to listen, although several bosses had exchanged views with each other on the phone with each other's legal advisers, the views were very similar, that is, according to the current laws of Hong Kong, the court should not be able to define If the torts of several companies must be defined, legislation must be made first, and then adjudicated, then this case may be delayed for several years, and the delay can also bring down the plaintiff Dakong Company.

After arriving at the scene, Yang Qingyi was sensitive to the abnormal atmosphere. First of all, today's court jury consisted of fifteen members, all of whom were ghosts.

Secondly, there were dozens of men with straight faces and serious faces in the auditorium. Although they didn't say a word, Yang Qingyi could feel from the body language of these people's sitting posture and occasional whispered conversations with their companions that they were not from the local area. People, but Dongying people in Xiangjiang.

And when the Queen's Counsel representing Dakong Company appeared in court, Yang Qingyi's whole heart sank. She graduated from the Law School of Xiangjiang University, otherwise she would not take over her father's management of the company. The first thing she wanted was to obtain the formal copyright , to avoid being troubled by the genuine company on legal issues. Before she arrived, she also agreed with the opinion given by the company's legal counsel, thinking that the court may not be able to define the infringement, but the old British man wearing a wig and a barrister's robe Appeared, but left her with nothing but fear.

That is the chief member of Tian Bo Da Law Firm, the second-class knight of the British Empire, the vice chairman of the Hong Kong Judicial Committee of the British Privy Council, an unofficial member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, an unofficial member of the Executive Council, the current chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association, and the former Hong Kong government Secretary for Justice, Lin Cardi, Queen's Counsel.

In terms of Chinese mentorship, this old British man is the master of most of the legal workers present, and the teacher of a small number of legal workers, and she, Yang Qingyi, is not even the other party's disciple. Her law school tutor may barely be regarded as the other party's disciple. .

Even if the British don't care about their mentorship, the identity of the chairman of the Bar Association of the other party has already explained everything. Strictly speaking, whether it is a judge or all the lawyers representing the accused party, they are all under his management, whether it is on-site recruiting or arbitrage. The lawyers representing the seven companies that were sued couldn’t bear the external move, because Lin Cardi, the chairman of the Bar Association, could simply say that he violated the professional ethics of barristers, and expelled the other party from the association and killed them all.

And losing the status of a member of the Bar Association is basically equivalent to leaving the legal circle. Let alone looking for opportunities to serve as judges and enter politics with the law, I am afraid that if you want to only provide legal consulting services in law firms, you will be left without anyone. Ask about the fate of Jin.

Seeing the slow but powerful appearance of this old British man wearing a ponytail wig, Yang Qingyi felt that the company's legal counsel's so-called inability to define infringement seemed to be untenable, because a barrister like Lin Cardi would not just do it for money Acting for this kind of ordinary commercial defense, if he had the price, he would have been invited to be a guest by the rich in the city.

"Using the case to legislate..." Yang Qingyi's mouth was a little bitter, and he whispered these four words.

"Your Honor, members of the jury, before this case officially starts, I would like to ask to speak first." Linkadi stood in the middle of the court, as if he was the master of the court, and said in standard and loud English.

The judge said: "Allowed to speak."

"After our trial began, some of the witnesses who testified in court had special identities. They were Dongying diplomats stationed in Xiangjiang. He requested that when he spoke in court, Dongying professional reporters would record the images and voices of his speech for the purpose of identifying this case. After the punishment was unfair, he submitted the speech record to the United Nations WIPO (the World Intellectual Property Organization under the United Nations), and applied for WIPO to resolve the dispute related to Dongying culture." Lin Cardi said: "His identity is the Consulate General of Dongying in Hong Kong. Mr. Tadao Imai, Cultural Counselor of the Cultural Department, Vice President of Xiangjiang Dongying Cultural Association.”

The judge was a little at a loss when he heard Lin Cardi's words. He looked at the jury members beside him. The fifteen ghosts in the jury looked at each other and talked in a low voice from time to time. Finally, the chief jury member gave the judge an agreeable answer.

The presiding judge then said: "The witnesses for the prosecution were worried about the unfair punishment before the trial started, which questioned the judicial system of Daying and Xiangjiang. According to normal procedures, I should reprimand and expel you. It is fair and equitable, and the other party has diplomatic and judicial immunity, and after the jury members voted, they agreed to this request to prove the freedom and fairness of Hong Kong's judiciary."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and all the members of the jury." Lin Cardi bowed slightly, and then dragged his long barrister's robe back to his proxy seat.

And with the permission of the court, several reporters came in with cameras on their shoulders.

Yang Qingyi looked at the row of seven barristers headed by Lu Zhibang in the dock. All of them possessed imperial titles and used to be powerful and swaying figures in court, but at this moment they sat down like obedient babies, and dared not even look at them. Glanced at the imposing Linkadi on the opposite side.

Seeing this scene, Yang Qingyi's heart was beating violently: "This trial has already been lost before the trial. In order to prove to the officials of other countries that the judicial system of the British colonies is sound and the verdict is fair, the seven companies will not be able to take advantage of it." There are loopholes in the law to abide by, although Xiangjiang has no law to follow, but Britain has laws to follow..."

In Yang Qingyi's view, it is best for the seven barristers to be silent in the audience, not saying a word, and pretending to be pitiful from beginning to end, so that the judge may see that the defendant's attitude is docile, and the sentence will be slightly reduced as appropriate.

If the seven barristers argue hard and try to help the seven companies continue to argue that Xiangjiang cannot rely on this entry point, I am afraid that what is waiting will be a severe penalty, and there may even be a high punitive damages.

Thinking of the punitive damages, Yang Qingyi's mind suddenly exploded!

In my mind, Sheng Jiale's voice sounded again: "I'm in the genuine business, and I'm chatting with you counterfeit booksellers... As I said, we are soldiers and thieves."

She seemed to understand that Sheng Jiale was not in the comics business at all!
"He is actually a thief, who steals hooks, who steals the country, and who steals the country. The seven companies are only greedy for the money in the hands of comic readers, which is why they are today. What he is greedy is the assets of the seven companies and the entire Xiangjiang Dongying comic market. And in the name of justice..." Yang Qingyi felt his hands were cold.

Who would have thought that that young and handsome young man with no experience in the world would secretly arrange such a big deal.

Big Appetite comic book store, the name of the store when we first met... He had already given his answer...

That guy must be somewhere right now, smiling smugly?

Yang Qingyi did not continue to stay to listen, but got up and walked out of the court, and dialed the number with her mobile phone: "Transfer all the funds in the company account and my father's account to my brother's name, and then notify my brother to transfer the money to you." Go overseas, in short, don’t leave your funds in Xiangjiang, if I’m not wrong, we only have 48 hours!”
