"Brother Yang, the opponent is really Fang Xujing. If you beat him, you will become famous!" said the assistant beside him.
????This assistant is not even a lawyer, he is just a handyman.
Yang Yuan smiled and said, "That's a good idea, but it's hard to win a lawsuit. He has a great reputation and must be capable."
"Brother Yang, you are also very good. You have rarely lost in our county." The assistant said again.
????This was pleasing to the ears. Yang Yuan looked confident. After this period of preparation, he thought that he still had a chance of winning.
????Just as I was thinking about it, I saw two men walking towards me from not far away. One of them was very tall, but his hair was a little thin.
This should be their opponent today. He looks just like that, with gold-rimmed glasses and a bit of a scumbag look.
Yang Yuan was looking at them, and Fang Dazhuang and the other man also noticed Yang Yuan.
????But both of them looked at Yang Yuan's hair. His hair had been specially groomed and waxed to make it very neat.
Zhou Yi shrugged, looking like a weakling.
After waiting outside for a short time, the court opened its doors and both parties walked in and began to prepare. At this time, Zhou Yi saw the weak man coming in and immediately realized that this was his opponent today.
????Turning his head to look at Mr. Fang, he found that he had already moved his mouth, which was also what Mr. Fang had to do before every court session.
????Alas, it seems another lawyer is in trouble. Why do you keep such thick hair?
????It doesn’t matter if his hair is long, he even used hair wax to style it. It’s obvious that he is not a serious lawyer!
????The judge in charge of the case has arrived and will use simplified procedures.
????It’s the same old routine. The clerk first announces the court rules. Then both parties ask whether they have any objections to the other party’s appearance in court, whether they have any requests for the judge and clerk to recuse themselves, etc. These are all normal procedures.
????After that, the indictment is filed. Once all the procedures are completed, it is time to present evidence and cross-examination.
????Attorney Fang presented several pieces of evidence, including the dashcam video, the accident certificate issued by the traffic police brigade, and so on.
Yang Yuan quickly expressed his own opinion: "I have no objection to the authenticity of the evidence, but I do object to the strength of the proof!"
"The evidence only proves that the plaintiff hit a rock, causing the accident, but it cannot prove that the highway maintenance center was at fault or committed tort."
This is an infringement lawsuit, so according to Yang Yuan’s point of view, there must have been an infringement.
He did not deny that there were stones on the road, but believed that the accident had nothing to do with the maintenance center.
????Similarly, Yang Yuan provided evidence.
"This is the maintenance record from the Highway Maintenance Center. This road is a county road, and the maintenance center has carried out patrols and maintenance in accordance with regulations, so they have fulfilled their obligations."
The country has clear regulations on the specific maintenance cycles of highways, and there are differences among national, provincial and county highways.
Therefore, Yang Yuan used this evidence to prove that the maintenance center had done its job, so it should not be held responsible for the other party's accident.
Attorney Fang was naturally prepared. He said, "This evidence is insufficient to prove that the nursing center has fulfilled its obligations."
"We're talking about the obligations of the care center, not specific details like the number of visits required by law."
"The Road Traffic Safety Law clearly stipulates that public road management departments have a legal obligation to ensure the safety and smooth flow of public roads!"
Mr. Fang’s rebuttal is very powerful. The law does have provisions, for example, you have to patrol provincial roads every few days, and county roads every few days. However, your so-called patrol does not mean that you have fulfilled your obligations.
????The road management department has only one obligation, which is to ensure the safety and smooth flow of public road traffic.
Some people here may say that this is imposition. It is impossible for the road maintenance center to keep an eye on the road surface all the time. How much manpower would that require?
So, don’t doubt it, analyze each case specifically, and keep this in mind.
????If the car in front of you accidentally dropped some stones and didn't have time to deal with it, causing an accident, it's definitely not your fault.
????But the stone has been there for quite some time, and you didn't even give us a warning. Who do you think is responsible for this?
After the presentation of evidence and cross-examination, the court debate began. Attorney Fang sat down to listen to what the other party said and took a sip of water.
He had no idea what the other party was thinking, actually producing such evidence.
You have to understand that the stone had been on the road for quite some time. And you're using this kind of evidence to prove that we've taken good care of it...
What does this mean? It means you've all seen it, and that's it, right?
????If this is reported, the leaders of the maintenance center will definitely be blamed!
The key point is that the evidence was produced by himself, leaving people speechless.
After considering the man's hair, Attorney Fang decided to let him sober up. Being a lawyer was fine, but if he found evidence to expose all the bad things his client had done, he'd probably be beaten to death in Shanghai...
????The two sides started the court debate, and Yang Yuan suddenly felt the pressure.
