What's wrong with this lawyer?! Chapter 543

Chapter 543: Chapter 180 Is this what you ant by soone paying the lawyer’s fee?_4 Chapter 543: Chapter 180 Is this what you ant by soone paying the lawyer’s fee?_4 Old Tang chuckled, “Of course, there is a matter, Officer Chang.

You see, to sue them, I need so evidence, their personal information, and the corresponding proofs and such.

I can’t investigate these matters, but you must have just got so results…”

“It’s not that I need it now; that wouldn’t comply with the procedure.

I’ll co and get it after I issue a court investigation order.

Right now, I’m just giving you a heads-up.”

Simply put, it was freeloading, which had beco a routine for Old Tang.

After all, since the property case, he had freeloaded countless tis; whenever he encountered situations that were tricky to handle, he would find a way through the public security organs…

Upon hearing this, Officer Chang said, “You’re really going to help those villagers sue, huh?”

“Of course, I’m going to help them sue.

...

Let reintroduce myself, my na is Tang Fangjing, the chief lawyer at Jingzhou Tengda Law Firm.

I’m here on behalf of the Jingzhou Lawyers Association to conduct legal outreach in the countryside.”

As he spoke, Old Tang handed over his lawyer’s license.

Officer Chang took it and saw that it indeed belonged to Lawyer Tang!

“Wait a minute, you’re here for legal outreach in the countryside, just by yourself?”

“There were quite a few people at first, but they couldn’t stand after a while and split up.

However, it’s okay.

I’m doing legal outreach by actually fighting lawsuits.

Don’t you think this is much better than dry lectures?”

This remark left Officer Chang at a loss for words…

Old Tang added, “Moreover, even though it’s just , the Lawyers Association said that they would cover all expenses, so there’s no need to worry about money.”

Since Chairman Cheng had personally guaranteed it, what was there to worry about?

Just forge ahead.

Rich battles like these were sothing Old Tang had never fought in his life, not even if you added his two lifetis together.

Hearing Tang Fangjing’s words, Officer Chang suddenly felt sympathy for the chairman of the Jingzhou Lawyers Association.

The year’s end was coming, and they let such a person out with those kinds of promises…

Agree, of course, he must agree!

Everything was in compliance; the Lawyers Association with a court investigation order would definitely pose no problem.

The reason Old Tang wanted to give a heads-up was to ensure smoother work later on.

An investigation order was indeed useful, but if others were uncooperative, it would still be troubleso.

“Also, there’s another thing.

The villagers were just scamd, so if I tell them now that I’ll fight the lawsuit for free, they might not believe .

You guys will need to help spread the word.”

Put plainly, it ant asking the police to give their endorsent.

Officer Chang naturally had no issue with it—it was just a matter of saying a few words.

Soon, Old Tang left the police station and got into Xue Lingling’s car, saying, “Drive.

Let’s head back to the village and announce this matter.”

Despite the complaints, a case involving more than a hundred people—even calculating at the lowest price, charging two thousand yuan per person—that was still lawyer fees amounting to more than two hundred thousand.

Jingzhou Lawyers Association, sizeable as it was, would not unthinkingly splurge like this.

Here, Old Tang intended to try out a new regulation: “The Supre People’s Court provisions on certain issues concerning the application of law in the trial of civil cases involving the use of facial recognition technology to process personal information.”

Article eight of this regulation was lengthy, but the last sentence ntioned: “The people’s court may, based on the party’s request and the specifics of the case, include reasonable lawyer’s fees within the scope of compensation.”

What did this an?

It ant that within the legal frawork, there was now another situation where the opponent could be made to bear the legal costs!

The reason was simple.

In recent years, the trend of facial recognition technology being overused is noticeable.

Various internet companies, even property managent, car dealerships, and so on, had started to collect facial data.

For instance, in so residential areas, one must scan their face to enter.

If you say such a situation infringes on rights, it does, but how do you calculate the damage?

Suddenly realized you can’t calculate it, right?

Well then, the Supre Court has specifically issued a judicial interpretation stating that in such cases, you could ask for the other party to bear the reasonable expenses incurred due to the infringent case.

Travel expenses and lost wages are a given, and now, even the lawyer’s fees are included.

Specifically for this case, Old Tang wanted to establish a new logic: the collection of facial data seed to have consent from those being scanned.

However, they did not know it would be used for loans—putting it more extrely, those elderly didn’t even know that their facial information was being collected!

This involved consur fraud and infringent of facial recognition rights, with an inherent logical relationship between the two.

It was an excellent opportunity to test with this case whether it could gain court support.

Even if the court didn’t support it, there was still the Lawyers Association.

If the case succeeded, it could very well beco a case that illustrated the law through an example.

It’s just a pity that the last case in Xihong District wasn’t selected; the Supre Court deed it lacking in representativeness.

This case was different from the last one.

The last ti, Xihong District Court was confident.

This ti it was Old Tang who was confident.

Inside the Guangming District Court office, Old Zhou suddenly felt uneasy.

Thinking it over carefully, he couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

Last ti, Old Yan from Xihong District had dared to pop champagne mid-ga and taunted him before it even got reported.

In the end, it didn’t go through, and now he kept calling just to mock him.

Bright District doesn’t have a guiding case, and neither will Xihong District!

In Xiping Village, the villagers who had been deceived were already gathering together.

Old Tang got the information on the loan platform from the police.

Xue Lingling had already checked it for those villagers; almost all of them had loans.

Just as Old Tang had said before, no matter how much you talk, it’s not as good as letting them experience it for themselves.

By now, many of the elderly were anxious.
