Chapter 365: Is a Lawyer's Life This Exciting? _2
"Your case is quite straightforward. The other party is keeping an Alaskan dog, which according to the 'Jingzhou City Urban Dog Management Ordinance', is classified as a large dog."
"Similarly, Article 1247 of the 'Civil Code' stipulates that if a dangerous animal such as a prohibited aggressive dog causes harm to others, the keeper or manager of the animal shall bear civil liability."
"In other words, if the large or aggressive dog that the other party keeps, which is prohibited, causes harm, they bear strict liability without the right to defend... "
Old Tang was casually giving advice to the client in front of him, since he was free anyway.
Unlike other lawyers in the firm who might not be able to provide results immediately, he could, so his consultations were highly efficient.
This is something many people know: the regulations on dog ownership vary by region, but everyone who owns a dog should know that if you own a dog that is locally prohibited, you are fully responsible for any accidents.
Even if someone provokes the dog causing an incident, it is still entirely your responsibility, understand? You cannot defend to reduce or exempt liability.
Some may feel it's unfair, but to repeat, the law does not equate to fairness. If large or aggressive dogs go berserk, they can cause significant incidents, which is why legislation does not support keeping them.
The consultation ended, and another client came in.
"You mean you joined some 'Striver Plan' when you started, voluntarily giving up overtime pay? And now that you've been dismissed, you want to claim overtime pay?"
"Did the Striver Plan have any benefits for you? No benefits, huh, oh, the company made it mandatory to sign, and you couldn't join without signing, right."
"This is a typical case of a partially invalid labor contract. According to Article 26 of the 'Labor Contract Law,' your agreement is invalid."
"If you want arbitration, you can argue that the waiver of overtime pay in this contract absolves the employer of responsibility and excludes workers' rights, highlighting unfairness. Yes, it's about employers using their dominant position..."
Endless cases, with labor disputes being the most frequent, followed closely by divorce lawsuits and also many dowry disputes.
Many people actually know a bit of labor law and know that this is illegal, but don't know how to claim it. Old Tang's role is to tell them what to do and provide the legal basis for doing so.
This is the purpose of legal consultation.
Still, it's a pity that no case has stimulated the system. It can only be said that the system grandson's standards are too high now, and it overlooks ordinary cases.
A day passed in this atmosphere. In the evening, Old Tang casually solved his food issue on the roadside and then returned home.
This is his life now, very simple.
Except, life is still like a sword hanging over his head, the days passing quickly, and he must find a case to extend his life soon.
...
The next day came quickly. Liu Yan got up early; for her, the internship opportunity at Tengda was extremely precious, as many lawyers couldn't get in.
After washing and tidying up, Liu Yan headed out. Although she lived close by, she thought to get to the law firm early to start working.
The firm's cleaning was handled by professional cleaning staff. Liu Yan came to organize today's work materials.
After working for a while, other lawyers slowly arrived, and soon a voice sounded: "Xiao Liu, you're here so early."
Liu Yan turned and immediately said, "Master, I naturally get up early, so I came to do some work first."
The man called Master was sharply dressed in a suit, looking like he was in his thirties, exuding an air of a workplace elite. He was Lawyer Tian Junfa, who had initially come from Ningtang County.
But compared to before, Lawyer Tian was now more confident, and... under the suit was a lot of muscle.
One of the lawyers personally introduced by Old Tang, Tian Junfa was much like Zhang Wei, though, if anything, he was more extreme...
Hearing Liu Yan's words, Tian Junfa laughed: "There's no need to be this early. The director once said that we lawyers engage in a lot of mental activity, so rest time must be ample."
"So, even if you can't sleep, you must lie down. In Tengda, the prescribed rest time must be observed. Otherwise, you'll be criticized, got it?"
"Did you not read the law firm's manual?"
Ah... Ah? Although Liu Yan had long known that Tengda was quite unique, she didn't expect it to be so special!
Coming early wasn't allowed, the mandatory rest time had to be observed, and failure to do so would result in criticism...
In other companies, such voluntary overtime behavior would have been widely promoted.
In this world, Liu Yan found it hard to understand, companies that strictly forbade overtime had employees voluntarily working extra hours, even if it violated regulations.
While some companies demanded overtime in various ways, employees still refused in every possible way, finding various excuses to avoid it.
At this moment, Liu Yan could only nod and say, "Okay, Master, I honestly haven't looked at the manual much..."
Tian Junfa then headed to the office next door, continuing to say, "The director once said that rules are rules, so, take this time to study hard."
"Today, we are going to the Execution Bureau. There's a case that's been stuck, and today we're checking again. If it doesn't work, we'll have to think of other ways."
"You and your classmate will come with me."
The classmate was Fan Bing, Liu Yan's roommate who joined Tengda with her, both following Tian Junfa.
