What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 507

?Chapter 507: Chapter 173 You got the school leaders sent in, and you want the school to pay for it?_2 Chapter 507: Chapter 173 You got the school leaders sent in, and you want the school to pay for it?_2 Substantial costs must be incurred.

“In this lawsuit, based on the current situation, I have reason to believe that the school administration was aware of the situation regarding the military training uniforms, yet they ignored the facts and filed the lawsuit out of spite,”

“And according to the ‘Several Opinions of the Supreme People’s Court on Further Promoting the Separation of Complicated and Simple Cases to Optimize the Allocation of Judicial Resources,’ Article 22 stipulates that if a party abuses the right to litigation, deliberately delays carrying out litigation obligations, or other obviously inappropriate behavior, causing direct losses to the opposing party or a third party…”

Old Tang has brought out the same legal provisions again, thinking he can sue and then withdraw the lawsuit at will.

Who does he think I, Tang Fangjing, am?

Someone who comes and goes as they please?

Needless to say about lawyer fees, the cost of the case involving the right to know has already been refunded.

For the defamation case, Liu Zixu’s parents also paid the full amount, with invoices, transfer records, and other evidence to prove it.

As for refunding money, that was a guarantee made on Old Tang’s reputation.

Actually, in other industries, cashback is nothing out of the ordinary, like in the insurance industry, almost everyone who has bought car insurance has gotten cashback, and nobody says there’s anything wrong with it.

However, the legal profession is different; such earnestness can actually be considered unfair competition.

But nowadays, there are quite a few lawyers who do cashback.

There are more and more lawyers, but the market doesn’t expand overnight; internal competition is unstoppable…

So much so that some lawyers have suggested that the current law exam passing rate is too high and should be lowered.

Of course, the lawyers who proposed this were harshly criticized by those who didn’t pass the exam, accused of burning their bridges after crossing, creating quite a mess.

To get back to the point, lawyer fees will definitely be paid by the school; another major expense is the cost of obtaining evidence, namely for the purchase and appraisal of the military training uniforms.

Old Tang always goes to extremes in his work; if you reveal even the slightest flaw, he pounces like a mad dog and tears it wide open!

The original plan was to file another lawsuit after winning this one, to strike a deadly blow, but the situation changed.

The school administration couldn’t even last until the end of the trial before getting locked up, so we had to move on it now.

Listening to Old Tang’s words, Dong Wenlu in front of him was dumbfounded; she had no idea that the other party had such intentions before this lawsuit.

Willing to rebut, but she isn’t the kind of lawyer who has quick wits, feeling as if Tang Fangjing’s logic across her didn’t seem to have any issues…

In desperation, she blurted out, “You…

your countersuit doesn’t count.

You don’t have any written materials, nor evidence—you can’t countersue like this!”

As her words fell, Old Tang casually unzipped the briefcase beside him, pulled out a thick file, and began to take out materials.

“This is the application for filing a counterclaim, these are the invoices for the lawyer fees, and this is the transfer record; the rest are evidence of the expenses for obtaining evidence, all of which have been notarized,”

“Lawyer Dong, and Judgment Chief, do you see anything else you need?”

Gulp!

Dong Wenlu swallowed, her eyes filled with confusion as if questioning, “Who am I, where am I?” Is the person across her, Tang Fangjing, even human?

The Judgment Chief’s face betrayed a mixture of laughter and tears; well, they initially thought this case could be handled as a withdrawal to save some trouble, but now their workload has increased.

“Lawyer Tang, I’ll take your materials for now, but since you’re filing a counterclaim during the trial, according to regulations, the period for submitting a defense must be extended.

No problems with that?”

Old Tang replied casually, “Of course, there’s no problem.

I have plenty of time on my side.”

However, just then, Dong Wenlu suddenly spoke up, “Wait, Tang Fangjing, I remember last time Secretary Liu asked you, you said you only collected two thousand yuan in lawyer fees.

How come there’s so much on this bill?”

The lawyer fees had quadrupled to forty thousand, which was outrageous!

Hearing this, Old Tang said, “Lawyer Dong, seems like your memory is playing tricks on you.

I said two thousand yuan for that right-to-know case, not this case.”

“Taking a case is like doing business.

I charged two thousand yuan for the previous one to break into the market.

See, didn’t I immediately start making money afterward?

You wouldn’t be oblivious to the basic principles of marketing, would you?”

Dong Wenlu was left speechless, unable to utter another word.

An hour later, in the office of Jingzhou Vocational and Technical College, the vice president, looking at Dong Wenlu before him, was beside himself.

“So now, you’re saying that not only did the withdrawal fail, but the other side has also initiated a countersuit, wanting the school to pay for the lawyer fees and evidence collection?

Isn’t this nonsense?” the vice president exclaimed.

With the leadership arrested and the higher-ups temporarily assigning him to oversee the work, he was faced with one problem after another.

Dong Wenlu hesitated before saying, “Their countersuit indeed has legal grounds, and they have been planning this for a long time.

What do you think we should do about it?

Should we try to negotiate?”

The Supreme Court’s recent public disclosures could still be seen.

There was no need to inquire further since a simple check would reveal that there was indeed a case of false litigation…

With the school leadership themselves being arrested, if you follow normal logic, they obviously must have known there was a problem with the military training uniforms, otherwise where would the money come from.

What?

The school leadership wants to argue?

Let them come out then.

While the public security department is handling the case, they can still hold court in a detention center.

But when the discipline inspection department handles the case, you wouldn’t even know where the people are.

The vice president felt a headache and finally said, “Let’s try to negotiate first; if we have to spend some money, then so be it.

What else can we do about all this trouble every day.”
