November 23rd will be sunny, so it is suitable for court proceedings, divorce, and sentencing, but avoid appeals.
It felt a bit like late autumn. Tang Fangjing got up and washed up. Today was a big day for Mr. Hou to hold court. He had to go and see...
There was a lot of noise on the Internet because of the sky-high price of more than 20 million yuan to be returned. Many people were paying attention to that case, but not many people paid attention to Mr. Hou’s criminal trial. This is definitely not good and does not fit Mr. Hou’s identity.
So Old Tang casually said something to the owner group, and a bunch of owners said they wanted to attend...
In fact, the owners were dumbfounded when they learned that more than 20 million yuan would need to be returned to the public.
This excitement is much greater than what Tang Fangjing said at the gate of the community before. Maybe everyone is not very smart and doesn't care about public benefits, but more than 20 million people can still understand it!
Therefore, some neighbors who were not convinced by Tang Fangjing before and felt that Mr. Hou's wife and children were particularly pitiful turned around and began to curse!
For no reason, the more than 20 million should have been ours!
Ordinary people's understanding of various high-profile names is so simple and unpretentious. Before, they just knew that it should belong to us, but the specific amount was not clear at all, and they probably didn't have much money.
Now that I see so much money, anyone would start complaining.
Old Tang ignored the online debate. He had already started making his video, but he had to wait until the verdict came out. Although it had already been exposed, he would never leave any evidence behind.
Otherwise, if the tasks in the future become more and more in-depth, if someone catches a problem and magnifies it, then it will be over immediately.
At the entrance of the Guangming District Court, Feng Jiping had already arrived, with her child still with her. It was also taught by the lawyer Li next to her, telling her to wait until the final statement to make a good show.
Lawyer Li next to him looked like a very powerful lawyer in formal attire. If Mr. Hu from Blue Bird Company were here, he would definitely find out that this was the person who was specially invited for the second trial and ended up looking like he farted. A professional lawyer?
Now he appears as a criminal defense lawyer again.
That is to say, Mr. Hu didn't know much about it, otherwise he would have discovered that Lawyer Li could still be a professional lawyer in intellectual property. Although he was not a dual-certified lawyer, he could still say that he was professional.
I have to say that this kind of performance lawyer is indeed popular in a certain sense. Needless to say, if you win the lawsuit, you will really try your best if you lose. You can even bang the table and quarrel with the other party. How dare you say that they didn't try their best?
"But Lawyer Li, now that the court has seized our house and car, and our bank deposits have been frozen, what do you think I should do?" Feng Jiping asked with a sad face.
She was a housewife, and she only had children and took care of them when she was married. She didn't have much knowledge at all, but she was very good at spending money. She spent a lot of money to hire Lawyer Li.
I originally planned to go to the very professional lawyer Zhang Wei that my husband mentioned, but when the other party heard that Mr. Hou had been arrested, he was confused on the spot.
And many people in that firm were laughing at him, saying that Lawyer Zhang had only taken on twenty cases since his debut, but ended up with fifteen clients...
Then Lawyer Zhang Wei was unwilling to take the call, and after asking for a long time, he found Lawyer Li.
Lawyer Li heard this and said: "Don't worry, as long as you insist that it is your family's legal income, the court can still collect it from you. It will be fine."
As a result, as soon as Lawyer Li finished speaking, a voice sounded next to him: "This is how you teach people as a lawyer, right? Their family has so much legal income? Isn't that all our money?"
Who is this? Lawyer Li looked back and saw many people in Wuyangyang, but none of them he recognized. However, Feng Jiping felt a little familiar.
"Lawyer Li, they are from Yuefu Community. I met them when I went there a few days ago..."
What happened to the people in Yuefu Community? Lawyer Li was very dissatisfied and said: "What are you doing with your money? Do I know you?"
Uncle Wang opposite said angrily: "You don't know me, but she must know me. A few days ago, she ran to the door of our community and cried, saying that she had no money to raise her children. At that time, we were quite sympathetic. But in the end, what happened to the man in his family?" It cost more than 20 million, how dare you!"
"You are still trying to kill your legal income now? Do you lawyers still have a conscience?"
There were many people at the entrance of the court, including many lawyers, many of whom were waiting to go in for the court session. Uncle Wang almost shouted these words, and many people looked over.
Lawyer Li's face darkened: "I think you're getting too old and I don't want to talk to you, but you're not done yet, right? More than 20 million, how dare you say that before the court has even tried it?"
"I still have no conscience. It's easy for a woman to take care of a child. Whoever forces her to do this has no conscience!"
As soon as he said this, Feng Jiping next to him looked at Lawyer Li and his eyes changed.
Although Feng Jiping is in her forties, she was a rich lady before and she took good care of herself...
Uncle Qian wanted to refute but didn't know how to say it. Tang Fangjing from behind came forward and looked at Lawyer Li in front of him. He looked familiar, as if he had quarreled with him before.
"Of course you have no conscience, do I need to say more?"
"You are a lawyer. You clearly know that as long as Ms. Feng takes the initiative to return the stolen goods, her husband's sentence may be lighter. But in the end, you let her take her children to cry at the gate of our community. Who do you think has no conscience?"
"Okay, I don't even bother to talk to a lawyer like you!"
After speaking, Old Tang walked away directly. He never liked such things as verbal disputes. There could be no winner, and lawyers were very tough.
I really miss my body in my previous life. I could move my hands without hesitation... Unfortunately, in this life, my body hurts so much that sometimes it’s hard to walk. Alas.
You can tell what Lawyer Li is going to do at a glance. It's a pity, Mr. Hou. When you go in, someone will naturally care about your wife. There is no way.
There are scumbags in every profession, but professions like lawyers seem to have some kind of aura. It feels like people who understand the law should be high-ranking...
The court was in session, and Tang Fangjing met Mr. Hou. He looked much older.
This is actually quite normal. The environment in a detention center is like heaven and earth compared to that of a prison. Many suspects even want to be sentenced and sent to jail as soon as possible.
Mr. Hou, Mr. Ye and other senior executives were sitting in the dock. At this moment, Mr. Hou looked at Feng Jiping with complicated eyes.
Among the several executives who came in, his family was the only one who did not take the initiative to return the stolen goods. The lawyer said it was because his wife was worried that she would not be able to support her children after returning the stolen goods.
Mr. Hou is actually a person who values his family very much. He can be cruel to others, but he is really serious about his wife and family, and all the money he earns is for a better family life.
His wife's statement made him don't know what to do. On the one hand, he wanted to get out soon, but on the other hand, he was also worried about his wife and children. He was really exhausted mentally and physically.
Tang Fangjing sat quietly. All lawyer Li's defenses were just procedural. Although he seemed very excited and worked hard, his defense words were very pale.
Lawyers need to be professional, but they can't just shout a few words and say they work hard.
The verdict came down. Mr. Hou was convicted of embezzlement and misappropriation of funds due to his position. He was sentenced to eight years for several crimes, and about five years for the others because he took the initiative to return the stolen goods.
The other owners were cheering, and Tang Fangjing left the court alone. He remembered the private message he had seen online before. Old Tang, who had been a lawyer in his previous life, also had complex feelings.
He is a professional, so he can tell at a glance whether the lawyer is serious about the case, but what about ordinary people? How can they tell the difference?
When the industry is filled with such performative lawyers, it is a disservice to colleagues who work seriously.
The pain in the abdomen started again, and Old Tang was trying to adapt. His life span now only has six months left. Fortunately, the task is almost completed.
…………
Time will not stop. For the Yuefu community, today is actually a big day.
The case with the property company has officially begun, and the money is considered theirs only after they have received it. During this period, the owners were arguing with netizens online every day, and they were all holding back their anger.
For this case, Tang Fangjing did not participate, but sat in the auditorium.
Everything that needs to be prepared is ready. If you try to get Husky to go up, you can win. If Lao Wang loses, stop being the director of the law firm and go guard the Yuefu Community.
This kind of big lawsuit is like this. You need to work hard in court. After the trial, it is useless to do anything. If you want to turn the tide of the battle with just a few words, you can only say that you have watched too many movies.
The presiding judge is a judge with very thick hair, but the circles under his eyes are a little dark.
The plaintiff and defendant each began to talk about their address, ID number, agency method, etc.
The agent of the property company is a legal agent, but no residents of the community have ever seen him.
The court investigation phase is the ultimate move.
"The forensic accounting appraisal results show that the property company's public income in the past thirteen years, after deducting reasonable costs, should be..."
Although the public parts of the community are shared by the owners, maintenance also requires costs. This is not paid by property fees, but by public revenue.
If there is no contract agreement, it will be calculated based on 30%.
It is not only public benefits that are required to be returned, but also several very important projects.
Take electricity bills for example. When the community was just built, electricity, water, gas and even heating bills were all paid to the property management company. This payment lasted for many years.
It was not until the past two years that thanks to the efforts of various departments, community residents were able to pay bills directly online.
There is a price difference here. Some people may have never seen it and suspect it is fake. How dare real estate developers do this?
They really dare, the electricity bill is sometimes even twice as expensive as the power company's charge...
Over the years, although many of the original documents have been lost, many payment bills from the owners have been retained. Tengda's lawyers applied for a court investigation order, asked the electricity and water services company to investigate the community charging data for the past ten years, and then calculated it. specific balance.
The balance of this part alone reached more than 7 million, not to mention the unauthorized expenses included in the property fees that should not be borne by the owners. Many owners clenched their fists when they heard this.
Normally, every household would be asked to pay the electricity bill and the property fee, so they would just pay it without thinking too much.
Now that these data are listed one by one, there are easily millions and tens of millions of balances, and the feeling is completely different.
The legal affairs department of the property management company was not idle either, and retorted that the maintenance cost of the public parts has been very high over the years, and even negative in some years, but there is no evidence...
Of course, there is no evidence. Just say a few words and it won't be supported by the judge. If you dare to show the evidence, the nature will be different.
The trial was over and no verdict was announced in court. Tang Fangjing didn't care. The owner must have won.
Lao Wang was very excited and started hooking up with Tang Fangjing as soon as they left the court.
"Oh, I haven't done such a refreshing case in a long time. Old Tang, your health is not good and you need to rest a lot. I have prepared a separate office for you in the office. There is also a massage chair that I personally donated. Normally, you can lie down on it and rest for a while..."
Old Song behind him rolled his eyes, who originally said that lawyers should look like lawyers!
And you prepare a separate office for a trainee lawyer? I have been working for so long, and now I don’t have a separate office...
But no one had any objections. Tenda showed off his face this time and became famous in the industry!
This is the first sky-high compensation case in the country where property accounts were back-checked!
It is likely to become a guiding case, which will be learned by peers, and they will have the capital to brag in the future.
In fact, the efficiency of the Guangming District Court was quite good this time. A week later, the judgment was issued. This time, it did not use discretion and supported all the claims of the owners committee.
Soon, the media, which focused on the verdict, spread the news.
“The most impressive property management committee in Jingzhou sued the property management company and received nearly 30 million yuan in compensation!”
Naturally, the property management side announced an appeal, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was impossible to overturn the case.
It's just that some netizens on the Internet are still rude.
"Xianyun Yehe": Judging from the current situation, this so-called rights protection was done by Tang Fangjing, right? The country's first case of sky-high overtime pay, and now it is the country's first case of sky-high property compensation. I am very puzzled that he is so enthusiastic Why let people lose a lot of money?
"Let me put it here, there are definitely some problems with this case. How much money can the real estate company make and it has to pay so much? Why?"
Xianyun Yehe's words attracted some fans, and soon there were comments.
"One slap can't make a difference": I agree with Brother Yehe's opinion. Why? The reason is very simple. There are so many communities in our country that we can't even count them.
"Then since one community property can pay so much money, why don't other communities sue? Isn't it? Why is it that only your community sues? Are other communities stupid and don't want to leave the money?"
"Don't talk to me about legal fees. I also know the law. As for contingency agencies, there are so many law firms in the country, but no one picks them up. So there is definitely a problem here, but we don't know where the problem lies!"
These comments have been liked by various people, and many people think it makes sense. Yes, why has no one done so much compensation before? It’s already been 0203 years.
The doubts are getting louder and louder, and many people have flooded Tang Fangjing's accounts on major platforms to ask him to explain. Of course, Tang Fangjing's own audience also wants him to say something.
Some lawyers in Tengda Law Firm also wanted to explain, but they had no choice but to speak softly. If they said something, they would be criticized and their lives would be doubted.
At this time, Tang Fangjing finally prepared his video. It was very long, more than forty minutes.
From the initial efforts he made to establish the owners' committee, to the criminal private prosecution, to the painstaking efforts to collect evidence, and finally to the compensation received, Tang Fangjing made a video of the entire process.
After thinking about it, I gave the video a title: Yes, it’s so simple, why doesn’t anyone do it? Does it mean they don’t love money?
Then it was uploaded to major platforms. The income in this area is not very high because it does not accept advertisements, but mosquito legs are also meat. Tang Fangjing is very short of money now.
The video passed review and was quickly viewed.
In a community in Jingzhou, Ju Haiqing, who had just uploaded the chapter, saw Tang Fangjing's update and quickly clicked on it.
He was the one who asked Tang Fangjing in a private message online before. The other party asked him to go to Tengda Law Firm for consultation when he was free. However, he was an online writer and was usually too homely to worry about trouble.
Of course, Ju Haiqing on the Internet is the keyboard warrior among keyboard warriors. He has argued with Xianyun Yehe several times before.
Now I clicked in and slowly watched the video for a while, and suddenly I couldn't restrain myself from typing on the keyboard.
"@香云野河": Come on, come on, don't you think why others don't do it? Let's take a look and see how much they did before they finally succeeded in safeguarding their rights!
The popularity of that video has begun to explode, and many people feel confused when they watch it, because what Old Tang did is so outrageous!
Although the other party stated that this was to obtain the source of the case, and there seemed to be no problem with the logic, no matter how you looked at it, it felt outrageous and the cost was too high!
The Internet is constantly being discussed. Xianyun Yehe liked it thousands of times in a short period of time, but did not show up.
Ju Haiqing slowly calmed down. The previous private message was just a casual inquiry, but now, he feels that Lawyer Tang is really reliable!
Although he seems to be a little out of his mind, he feels that if the other party becomes his lawyer, he will feel really safe!
After thinking for a long time, Ju Haiqing started to pack his things. He was going to Tengda tomorrow. As long as Lawyer Tang said there was hope, then go for it!
It's not that it has to be anything like that, it's just that what the lawyer said was so infuriating that he didn't believe it was unreasonable.
