What's wrong with this lawyer?!

But that little bit, when actually spoken of, is surprisingly large.

Old Tang continued, "And now, after three rounds of arbitration and three lawsuits over the course of four months, we have finally confirmed the labor relationship between our client and San He Company."

"So why does a simple labor dispute have to go through so many rights defenses to be confirmed? I believe this was intentional by Wu Feng Technology Company and San He Company!"

"Through layers of outsourcing and subcontracting, they deliberately increased the difficulty of our client's rights defense. Such improper conduct forced our client to hire professional labor litigation lawyers for advocacy."

"Otherwise, with a claim amount of five thousand yuan and such a complex litigation process, he basically would have had no chance of success. Therefore, this can be viewed as Wu Feng Company and San He Company's improper behavior causing direct losses to our client."

Based on facts and in accordance with the law, I have spoken about the law as well as the spirit in which it was made; the next step is to lay out the facts and apply the law.

The reason both companies are being named as defendants is exactly that; both companies have behaved in a way that allows them to not take responsibility.

It is crucial to note that the cases are being consolidated for review, and there are inherently two pairs of legal relationships. One is the legal relationship where Tang Fangjing sues the platform and San He Company for attorney's fees.

Another is the legal relationship involving San He Company's non-acceptance of the arbitration result and its lawsuit against the platform company. Old Tang is not suing because of the arbitration result; he is abiding by it.

On the contrary, the arbitration result is the basis for his lawsuit.

As Old Tang continued, the legal affairs person on the other side finally understood the logic.

The only thought in his mind now was, can it really be played like this?

But upon careful consideration, this logical relationship aligns perfectly with the spirit of the guidance issued by the Supreme Court.

That "guidance" is clear from the very beginning: to further optimize judicial resources, improve judicial efficiency, promote judicial justice, reduce litigation costs for the parties, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the people.

The guidance was issued to reduce the litigation costs of the parties.

Well then, the intentional actions of the two companies, although not directly delaying the lawsuit, objectively made it harder for the party to defend their rights and increased their litigation costs.

It also led to the waste of judicial resources. An issue that could have been resolved with at most one arbitration and two lawsuits became unresolved after their meddling with three arbitrations and three lawsuits. So tell me, who is the problem here?

At that moment, the legal affairs person thought of what Director Miao had in mind, and it suddenly seemed possible that this case could indeed become a leading case directed by the Supreme Court...

It could quite literally be seen as an act of genius!

Director Miao sighed. Assuming nothing unexpected, the case was probably lost, but he accepted the defeat with grace. Such a maneuvering deserved to be put into textbooks.

The viewers in the live broadcast were completely baffled; they recognized every word Tang Fangjing spoke, but couldn't understand what he was talking about.

So they kept tagging the professional Brother Dafeng from earlier, but the brother had opted to go invisible.

Of course, Old Han wasn't trying to go invisible; he simply wasn't familiar with these issues, he didn't even know about that "guidance", so he was looking up information urgently.

After reading the "guidance" and listening to Tang Fangjing's related discourse, Old Han also expressed his admiration, "Tang Fangjing, impressive."

Truth be told, the other party's "standard contract" tactic from before was even more spectacular, but that was a one-time occurrence, and many well-known lawyers have had their share of brilliant maneuvers.

But Tang Fangjing seems to come up with these brilliant maneuvers every so often.

No matter what, it was worth Old Han exclaiming in admiration, unrelated to the person themselves, but as a lawyer, naturally admiring the finesse of another lawyer's maneuvers. Your next chapter is on empire

Subsequently, he began explaining to the viewers in the chat section of the live broadcast.

At the same time, in Magic City, Professor Chen was sneaking a peek at the live broadcast again.

As he watched, Professor Chen turned off the broadcast; he didn't want to continue watching. Tang Fangjing, that man, truly left him speechless with his impressive actions.

Back in the courtroom, Old Tang had finished speaking and looked at Judge Wang with a professional smile. He had done everything he could; now it was up to whether the Big Garden District Court dared to seize this opportunity.

In a certain sense, this could be considered a form of punitive damages.

But Old Tang had plenty of evidence to support his case. The long period he had spent was not in vain. He had combined a multitude of judgments from other provinces to find ample evidence that Wu Feng Company's actions were not limited to Han Xi Province.

In one place you might call it coincidence, but when every place operates this way, making it extremely difficult for couriers to defend their rights, can you still call it coincidence?

Not to mention the terms stated in the registration app, "no labor relationship, service relationship, etc., shall exist," which must be sued to confirm as invalid on their own.

But here, they can serve as corroborative evidence. You still dare claim you didn't intentionally set up these obstacles?

Judge Wang looked emotionlessly towards the San He legal affairs and spoke, "Does the defense have anything more to add?"

The legal affairs person spoke with difficulty, "Labor outsourcing is provided for by law, legitimate and reasonable, and cannot be considered as deliberately creating obstacles to workers' rights defense..."

Even as he said this, he didn't believe his own words. Legal does not necessarily mean reasonable.

After all, the law is just that, law. It's not about what other people think about fairness and justice. The essence of the law is the expression of the ruling class' will, as anyone who's taken a political science class knows.
