Chapter 367: Old Tang: Seems like we can set a rule!_3
No way, having the edge is always impressive, his current level of creative thinking is enough to make many lawyers gasp in admiration.
Some cases are considered difficult in the hands of others, but he can quickly come up with an idea once he takes over.
However, having an idea is one thing; how to turn that idea into your own viewpoint, apply the appropriate legal framework, and articulate that viewpoint clearly is another skill altogether.
The system panel continuously records and organizes Lao Tang's thoughts.
For the second controversy, Lao Tang already has an idea.
This time he plans to use the "Labor Law."
As a lawyer, you naturally utilize whichever law is beneficial to you.
The "Labor Law," Article 4, stipulates that employers should establish and improve rules and regulations according to the law, ensuring that workers enjoy labor rights and fulfill labor obligations.
This seems like a statement of the obvious, but Lao Tang believes it can be refined.
If an employer introduces a corresponding reward, mustn't they clearly set out all the relevant situations?
You say the meeting minutes are invalid because they weren't approved by the company, but you haven't stipulated that internal reward distributions must be company-approved.
In such ambiguous circumstances, if a dispute arises, the resulting disadvantageous consequences should be borne by the employer because you hold the controlling power!
In legal terms, concepts must be clearly distinguished; the controlling power is labor-related, and this bonus regulation is also based on labor, so at this moment, you have the dominant control, no problem!
Therefore, the meeting minutes are valid.
Although it's not a big case, Lao Tang is quite interested and is slowly preparing for it.
Time quickly passed to the next day, and Lao Tang was ready to set off for Lvzhou.
Speaking of which, in Jingzhou's many cities, he managed Lin City, and Jingzhou, but he seems to have never tackled Lvzhou.
Just right, this time he'll take a look at whether Lvzhou is a good place.
In the afternoon, Lao Tang walked out of the Lvzhou Railway Station, returning to this familiar place once more.
He came here last time to play at Crescent Lake when he had nowhere to go during the New Year.
First, he planned to check out the hotel he booked.
Meanwhile, Su Yeping had already arrived at the Lvzhou City Intermediate Court with documents for the lawyer replacement.
According to regulations, any change of representing lawyer must be notified to the court.
He first called the presiding judge upon reaching the location.
"Hello, Judge Song, yes, I've arrived, should I go directly to your office? Okay, okay."
In the office, the man called Judge Song put down his phone, feeling a bit irritated.
The case was already quite troublesome, after all, it involved a company like Lvzhou City Development, and to put it bluntly, even their Intermediate Court finds such companies hard to deal with.
Now, the appellant suddenly wants to change their lawyer.
Never mind, let them come in first.
Soon, Su Yeping arrived at the office, and Judge Song looked at Su Yeping and said, "You're Su Yeping, right? Want to change lawyers?"
Hearing this, Su Yeping immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Judge Song, I've hired a very capable lawyer, the previous trial lawyer was somewhat weak..."
He was genuinely happy; if he hired Tang Fangjing and still lost, he would accept it because that would mean he couldn't win.
That's the power of the name Tang Fangjing!
Before he could finish, he was interrupted.
"A very capable lawyer? I'm telling you, our court strictly judges according to the law, do you understand? Which city is your lawyer from, the Capital or Modu?" Judge Song said with a solemn face.
Su Yeping handed over the documents and said, "It's Tang Fangjing from Jingzhou Tengda."
Judge Song casually glanced over the documents and said, "Tengda's Tang Fangjing... who? Who did you say you hired?"
In an instant, any trace of irritation dissipated, replaced by a sudden cold feeling.
This is summer!
It must be that the air conditioning was too cold, so he hurriedly turned it off.
Su Yeping repeated, "It's Tang Fangjing from Tengda."
Judge Song finally had a clear look at the authorization contract in his hand, murmuring, "It really is Tang Fangjing, how did you hire... ahem."
"Oh, Tang Fangjing, the lawyer, that indeed is quite capable, okay, I'll keep these documents."
Su Yeping took his leave, as Judge Song watched him go, he quickly began to think of a plan.
How did they manage to get this person involved, perhaps... consider mediation first?
Presumably, City Development wouldn't want to face Tang Fangjing either... companies of this type have significant chances of running into trouble these days.
For instance, Lvzhou's City Development Company had six out of eight leaders brought down recently...
No, he needs to think about mediation, shouldn't they be opposed to it, right?
...
Lao Tang checked into the hotel and delved into many recent arbitration cases, discovering that there is no unified standpoint in this regard!
Some courts believe the approval authority lies with the company, and it's up to the company whether to approve or not.
This is incorrect, Lao Tang suddenly felt that perhaps he could set a rule!
