What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Wen Weilin truly couldn't understand why this case had been accepted. No matter how he thought about it, it seemed impossible, what were the leaders thinking!

In his opinion, this case should not have been accepted at all; the implications were too significant, and from every angle, it was beyond the scope of Changlv County Court. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

Such complicated cases should be handled directly by a higher court.

On the other end of the phone, Wen Weilin's colleague spoke up, "Weilin, you seem a bit too worked up. Besides, we now have a case filing registration system. When someone brings a lawsuit with all the necessary materials, the case filing court has no reason to refuse, you know that."

"If we really don't accept the case, and then they take the decision of non-acceptance to a higher court, we can forget about passing this year's assessment. Alright, I just wanted to give you a heads up. Let's leave it at that."

After finishing, the colleague hung up the phone and shook his head. Wen Weilin was usually a decent person but might be particularly distressed this time because of that miscarriage of justice.

He also didn't understand why the case had been accepted... Normally, such cases are rarely accepted directly.

There are three types of criminal self-prosecutions, and the third type, where neither the public security nor the prosecution take action and the parties have no choice but to bring a lawsuit to the court themselves, are basically never accepted by the court.

Under normal circumstances, they would tell you that it's a public prosecution case, which should be under the jurisdiction of public security organs. You should go to them or the prosecution... anyway, don't come to us.

As for you saying you have a decision from the public security organ not to accept the case... it doesn't affect anything; we still won't accept it.

It's not about rejecting after review and examination, but rather about not accepting the case at all, because once a case is accepted, it has to go through various procedures.

Not to mention, now there are different assessments of case closure rates. Before the case is accepted, everything is negotiable, but after acceptance, there are time constraints, and the case must be concluded within a specified time frame.

Don't think there is no longer any shirking of responsibility...

So in his colleague's view, it might still be because of Tang Fangjing's status. Could it be that they accepted the case only to reject the lawsuit later?

In fact, not only Wen Weilin was puzzled; at that moment, Old Tang was also caught off guard when he received a call from the Changlv County Court while he was in Lincheng.

"Wait, you're saying... you've already accepted the case, right?" Old Tang quickly asked.

Over the phone, a voice claiming to be a staff member from the case filing office responded, "Yes, Lawyer Tang, we've already accepted the case. As for how to arrange follow-up matters, just wait for my notification."

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for the notice."

After hanging up the phone, Old Tang hadn't expected the Changlv County Court to directly accept the case since he had already made preparations to go to the supreme court.

However, Changlu County might be using the case acceptance to pacify him before rejecting the lawsuit after some time, which would leave him with no alternative.

Rejecting the lawsuit and dismissing the claim requests are not the same. Rejecting the lawsuit, in layman's terms, means that after the case has been accepted, it is found that your lawsuit does not meet the procedural regulations specified in the "Civil Procedure Law," which addresses procedural issues.

For example, a man files for divorce from his wife on grounds of her infidelity.

Now, with the case filing registration system in place, there's a plaintiff, a defendant, evidence, and reasons. Setting aside mediation and the like, the court should accept the case according to regulations, right?

But after initiating the case, a preliminary investigation reveals that, hey, the man's wife is pregnant. Well, that's a no-go. The "Civil Procedure Law" Article 124 stipulates that a party cannot file a lawsuit within a certain period, and there are many such regulations.

For instance, during pregnancy, the male party cannot initiate a lawsuit.

So, if the case is still in mediation at that time, a ruling not to accept the case will be made, but if the case has already been accepted, then it will be rejected.

This is purely a procedural issue; they basically won't consider your reasons, such as "I've been working on the construction site for a year, come back, and she's pregnant."

Of course, our laws usually have exceptions, like if the court deems it necessary to accept the man's litigation request... then it's a display of ingenuity, as the court's decision is always justified.

Dismissing the claim request, on the other hand, means that after the trial, it's found that your claim should not be protected. For example, if you claim your spouse has been unfaithful and demand a divorce, but after examination, it turns out that your evidence cannot prove infidelity.

If you came home during that time and didn't have a paternity test report from the pregnancy period, well, then that's known as dismissing the claim request.

Returning to the point, Old Tang didn't care much since he had already prepared for a trip to the supreme court. If it gets rejected, then he would just continue with the lawsuit.

Meanwhile, at the Changlv County Court, the leadership was busy with their current tasks.

This case had been causing headaches for days, and the reason for accepting it was simple: outside stood Tang Fangjing, and his materials fully complied with legal regulations.

Especially the evidence; it was exceptionally substantial. There was no reason not to accept the case.

If they really refused to accept it, and the other party posted a video online, it would damage their own reputation.

Since it's compliant, accept it to avoid further trouble with the city court, as this also counts towards the assessment.

As for what happens after case acceptance, it's time to consult with the higher court... Normally, unless it's an exceptionally significant case with high public interest, there is usually no need to consult.
