What's wrong with this lawyer?!

The Lincheng City Intermediate Court is now somewhat at a loss.

If everything were strictly in accordance with the law, jurisdiction would certainly belong to the Jinhe District Court, because, no matter what, your Lincheng City Intermediate Court is just a civil entity here.

Just as when the Supreme Court was sued, if the location was in the XC district, then naturally, the XC District Court would have jurisdiction, and there would be no problem at all legally.

But things don't work that way, when Tang Fangjing sues, he's going to post everything online after the case is over, then the whole country will know they've been sued...

However, it's impossible to just cave in directly; the same old saying applies: this cannot set a precedent.

Otherwise, what to do if there are future court delays? It's not ruled out that some lawyers will do it just for the fame.

Thinking about it is a dilemma, not knowing what to do, but outright preventing Jinhe District Court from accepting the case isn't going to work either since there's no reason for that.

Headache, thinking about it just gives a headache. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

Tao Dongli had already arrived at the leadership's office and then came a round of criticism.

"Tell me, what is this all about? If this case really gets filed, then we'll become the first intermediate court in the country to be sued. Is that the first place you're trying to achieve?"

The leader was ranting, and Tao Dongli didn't dare say a word.

Although "these cases need to be handled with caution and taken slowly" was also the directive from the leadership, Tao Dongli certainly wouldn't dare mention it.

After the criticism, there was just one sentence: you caused this problem, you go and solve it.

Tao Dongli walked out of the office really feeling like looking up to the sky and sighing; as a judge, he had never been so troubled before, Tang Fangjing, that man... he had nothing to say.

Because all this man did was for others, including those desperate actions.

What could he say? How do you evaluate a person who's morally unblemished?

In fact, this is something many don't understand about the world: there's no such thing as a perfect person; everyone has their faults, so why does Tang Fangjing seem flawless?

No way around it, a man with a cheat code is just that awesome.

The leader's message was very clear: deal with the situation before it gets exposed, and do it quickly.

That meant going to the other side for mediation.

Thinking of the other party's previous behavior, Tao Dongli felt overwhelmed.

After some thought, he took out his cell phone and started to make calls; this matter still needed mediation.

Before long, the Jinhe District Court received a call from the Intermediate Court. The head of the filing office breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately called: "Xiao Li, put that case Tang Fangjing sued on hold for review, send it to the mediation center before filing."

The normal filing review period is seven days, meaning after receiving the materials, you must be informed within seven days whether the case will be filed or not.

It's just that now, as source governance is practiced, civil cases generally go to the pre-litigation mediation center without considering the filing review period, nor is there a target for case closure rates.

The person in charge of the Jinhe District Court's pre-litigation mediation center, Zhang Huaijun, wanted to curse when he saw the case transferred over.

Within the public security, procuratorate, and legal system, the courts often complain that whenever there's a difficult issue, it's pushed onto them with one suggestion: consider legal action.

Classic cases like unfinished buildings – is that something the court can handle?

The runaway real estate developers are one thing; after all, just sentence them, but if the enforcement comes up short, there's nothing to do.

But now, with those major developers going bust left and right, each with their connections, but the case still has to go through the grassroots courts, how do you judge?

So some situations arose, such as some local courts facing lawsuits to refund for unfinished buildings would persuade based on actual understanding.

That is, informing you of the litigation risks: this building has already entered the process for guaranteed delivery. Without suing, you still have the property; if you sue, you might end up with neither the property nor the money.

A court that can advise the parties like this is already a good court, otherwise, they would just give you a judgment and that's it.

Inside the court, the constant complaint now is pre-trial mediation; no matter what issue arises, first, they throw it into pre-trial.

Too many cases recently? Case closure rates too low? Then put a hold on new cases, send for mediation whatever can be mediated.

So much so that now, the mediation staff are overwhelmed.

That'd be all well and good, but you shove this kind of case onto me, one side is Tang Fangjing, the other side is the Intermediate Court, what capabilities do we have here at the pre-litigation mediation center!

But the case was passed on, and there was no choice but to deal with it.

Zhang Huaijun quickly summoned a man in his forties and handed him the case materials, then said: "Xu Gang, this is the situation we're faced with now. You're one of our veterans here, try your best to make a success of this case."

Being a leader does have its perks, just moving your mouth does the job.

Seeing the case materials, Ji Xu Gang felt bitter inside, but he had no choice but to take it; he could not pass it down any further. He reluctantly nodded and said, "Director, I... I'll try my best, but if it really can't be mediated, then there's nothing that can be done..."

Zhang Huaijun waved his hand and said, "No problem, if it really can't be mediated, just send it back. After all, it's Tang Fangjing, we can't do much, can we?"

Of course, Elder Zhang didn't know that as soon as Ji Xu Gang left the office, the bitterness on his face disappeared instantly, and his footsteps lightened.

It's simply because Ji Xu Gang was also one of Old Tang's die-hard fans online, his account name being "I'm Already Out of Money to Save Selya".
