Chapter 387: Supreme Court, Here I Come!
Handong University of Political Science and Law, Tang Yiru, a sophomore this year, was originally arguing about the case with other netizens online.
The compensation amount of five hundred million is basically already the second highest in commercial secret infringement cases.
The only higher was last year's automotive industry's commercial secret infringement case, with compensation close to seven hundred million.
As a student specializing in civil and commercial law, Tang Yiru is quite aware that the revised "Anti-Unfair Competition Law" already includes provisions for punitive damages, so it is foreseeable that such astronomical compensation amounts will continue to rise in the future.
However, some netizens don't quite understand it; they only felt that the compensation amount was too much.
"So you only saw the high compensation amount but didn't notice the timeframe and scale of the infringement? This is an infringement that lasted for years!"
"Moreover, after being sued once, the infringing party continued to expand the scale of infringement, clearly making the situation severe, applying punitive damages is completely justifiable!"
Tang Yiru was continuously arguing with people, but just then, she saw the news that "Tang Fangjing stated the verdict was unjust and appealed immediately."
At that moment, she was utterly confused.
"?? When I show this expression, it's not me who has a problem, five hundred million, and Lawyer Tang thinks the verdict is unjust?"
"So can anyone tell me what Lawyer Tang's initial plan was, why do I feel like he's trying to pull off another big move!"
Similar comments kept emerging, and even people like Tang Yiru, who had made quite a few rebuttals, were tagged.
"@Dogfoot Tang": Weren't you just saying this verdict was reasonable? Aren't you a fan of Lawyer Tang? Come on, come out for a walk, haha...
Tang Yiru stared at her phone for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Old Tang's actions really left a lot of people speechless, some jokers even said that looking at Dajin Group's announcement now feels so wronged.
Yes, clearly we lost the lawsuit, we were ordered to pay five hundred million, yet now the other side is shouting about the unjust verdict and wants to appeal!
Of course, the most wronged is Judge Sun.
But the High Court here really can't make a ruling to destroy the production line, what a joke, that's a third-phase production line, built with several billion!
If such a ruling were made, the Execution Bureau folks would definitely rage on the tribunal members...
You judges made the ruling lightly, asking us to go to another province to destroy a state-listed company's production line built with so much money?
You're not just letting us execute, you're sending us to death!
Legal issues can never be determined by law alone; various factors need to be considered.
This is also why many people believe "adjudication and execution cannot be separated."
If the court oversees everything, judges at least consider the execution issue when making rulings.
But if they are separated, it's predictable that judges will definitely go wild...
Of course, even this five hundred million is troublesome to execute.
Cross-province execution, coupled with the special nature of the execution target, truly makes it exceptionally difficult, so for this verdict to be issued, there was a leader from the Provincial High Court who made the decision.
It's just unexpected that Tang Fangjing also decided to appeal...
Handong Province High Court, Huang Zhongyi and Cui Zhengyu followed old Tang outside, both with complex expressions.
This is five hundred million! It's unclear why Lawyer Tang would still want to appeal.
Although the opposing party also appealed, but... wouldn't it be fine just to uphold the original verdict?
Just at that moment, old Tang stopped and smiled: "Mr. Huang, Mr. Cui, do you think my appeal is unnecessary?"
Huang Zhongyi hurriedly replied: "No, no..."
Old Tang waved his hand: "It's normal to have such thoughts, so as your lawyer, I should definitely clarify the reasons for you."
"Now indeed, five hundred million has been ruled; five hundred million is a lot, right? So have you considered, if the ruling really takes effect, whether the Provincial High Court here can enforce the five hundred million?"
"Have you realized, it would be very difficult to execute, right?"
Huang Zhongyi nodded, also overwhelmed by this number.
Don't even mention cross-province major cases like this, even ordinary inter-company cases have many ways to evade execution.
For ordinary people, if found evading execution, judicial detention can be applied, or even "Refusal to Execute Judgments or Rulings Crime" can be pursued for criminal culpability.
But for units like this, what do you do, go detain that chairman?
What an international joke!
"So, in my experience, if relying solely on this verdict, it would ultimately be a prolonged bickering!"
"Even with my help in running around, it's unlikely to be resolved."
Old Tang spoke very earnestly.
In this lifetime, he hasn't handled similar cases, but he had experiences in his previous life.
If it were a company from the province, it's manageable; with the Provincial High Court ruling, enforcement usually isn't a big problem.
But when the case crosses provinces, it's not so easy to handle.
So many people should already know why the "province" administrative region is emphasized over and over, as it genuinely is very special.
Take an ordinary case, execution judges need Provincial High Court consent to enforce across provinces.
See, everything within the province is negotiable, but going to other provinces for enforcement, without Provincial High Court approval, you can't go.
Of course, old Tang always has backups for whatever he does; after this case, there are criminal cases waiting.
But after comprehensive consideration, appealing is the best choice!
The Provincial High Court is difficult, but the Supreme Court will be much better because they are the highest adjudicating body, and their verdict can set the tone for the entire case!
