Starting from the second half of 1957 in China, due to various reasons, the lawyer system was temporarily suspended.
The interim plan was discussed on August 26, 1980.
It was not until 1986 that the unified national lawyer qualification examination was implemented and the lawyer profession was restored.
Therefore, in this era, there are no lawyers to help litigate.
Either the plaintiff and the defendant represent themselves in court, or they ask a court staff member who specializes in handling cases to represent them.
Lin Mai chose to litigate the case in person.
In order to show her identity, Guan Yonghua did not bother to go to court, so he sent an assistant to confront her in court.
The court's decision was very simple, requiring both parties to present evidence to prove that the other party defamed themselves and their garment factory.
If you want to prove that the other party is slandering you, you have to prove that you are the original designer of the clothing styles that are suspected of being plagiarized.
The evidence Lin Mai presented was the first draft of the allegedly plagiarized denim overalls and other clothing he designed, as well as the final draft after Tao Zhiyun revised it.
This evidence is used to prove that those clothing styles were designed by them themselves and were not plagiarized.
Guan Yonghua's assistant waited very gentlemanly for Lin Mai to finish presenting his evidence, and then calmly presented his own evidence.
The evidence he presented was similar to that of Lin Mai.
It is also the first draft and final draft of clothing styles that are suspected of being plagiarized.
However, there are differences between those first drafts and final drafts and the first drafts and final drafts presented by Lin Mai, but the differences are very small.
The evidence presented by the two men is consistent with the actual situation.
There are only slight differences in styles between the two clothing brands, and they are not 100% identical.
However, it is as high as 97% similar. A discerning person will see that one party is plagiarizing the other.
Lin Mai looked at the evidence presented by Seaman Clothing's assistant and smiled disdainfully:
"I don't understand how convincing the evidence presented by you Seaman is.
It is our manufacturer that gives priority to launching those styles that are suspected of plagiarism.
After you plagiarize, it is not difficult to make slight changes and then draw the first draft and final drawings.
Who do you, Ximan, want to slap in the face by bringing out these perjured testimonies? Your own?"
The assistant of Ximan Clothing said seriously: "What I presented is not perjury, what you presented is!
Our Mr. Guan has said in the newspaper before that it was you who bribed our designer to get the drawings!"
The judge saw the two people talking openly in court, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right, and said: "The physical evidence presented by the plaintiff and defendant so far is not enough to prove that they are not plagiarists. Please show other evidence."
Lin Mai spread his hands: "I have no evidence to show."
The assistant of Ximan Clothing smiled confidently: "I still have evidence to show."
In the gallery, reporters could still remain quiet, but the crowd was already whispering among themselves.
"Seman still has evidence! I'm afraid it's true that Unique plagiarized Seaman."
"That's for sure, those fashionable styles cannot be designed by our mainland designers!"
Listening to these discussions, Niu Lili was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
We are compatriots, but we look down on our compatriots so much. It is sad and even more hateful!
The judge asked the crowd in the auditorium to be quiet, and then asked Seaman Clothing's side to present new evidence.
This time, the assistant of Seaman Clothing presented not physical evidence, but a witness.
Lin Mai was very curious about who the other party's witness was and how useful it could be.
When the witness went to court, he identified himself as the designer of Ximan Clothing.
Not only did Lin Mai have a sarcastic look on his face, but even the judge had an expression that was hard to explain.
But I still let designer Tu speak.
Designer Tu insisted in court that he was the first to design the clothing styles.
Before Ximan Clothing had time to launch those styles, the factory director of Unique sent someone to buy them from him.
Designer Tu regretfully confessed in court: "It's all my fault. I was too greedy for money and was bribed by Unico. I'm sorry for Mr. Guan and I'm sorry for Ximan."
The judge interrupted him: "You said that the plaintiff sent someone to buy those design drawings from you. Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes, the person who bought my drawings was Tao Zhiyun, the designer of Unique Clothing. I have persuaded her to come and testify."
When Lin Mai heard this, his expression changed drastically.
In an instant, he understood why Tao Zhiyun was always in a trance and lost his mind during these days.
It turned out that he secretly betrayed her and was caused by an uneasy conscience.
Wang Rong and Guan Yonghua, who were sitting on the viewing platform, smiled proudly when they saw her shocked look.
Especially Wang Rong, her heart is filled with the pleasure of a villain's success, which is even more exciting than having sex with Guan Yonghua!
Reporters from various media outlets invited by Guan Yonghua also saw Lin Mai's expression.
In her heart, she had already concluded that Unique had plagiarized Ximan, otherwise she would not have looked so panicked.
Niu Lili was the only audience member in the auditorium who believed that Youni was not the one who plagiarised, and that meant that only Tao Zhiyun had been bribed.
I thought in my heart with frustration that Lin Mai would lose this lawsuit 100% of the time.
Tao Zhiyun was quickly brought to court. When she looked into Lin Mai's eyes, she seemed particularly guilty.
Guan Yonghua's face became more and more proud, and she thought to herself, I wonder how Lin Mai felt when she was betrayed by someone she trusted!
When Wang Rong thought that Lin Mai was about to lose the lawsuit, she was even more elated and wanted to shout in celebration.
The judge asked Tao Zhiyun: "Just now the designer Tu of Ximan Clothing said that you bought the suspected plagiarized clothing designs from him?"
Tao Zhiyun swept away his evasive and uneasy look, raised his head and said with chest out: "I don't even know the designer Tu of Ximan Clothing, so how could I possibly buy the design drawings of those clothes from him?
Besides, those clothes were designed jointly by Director Lin and I, do I need to buy them from him?"
The reporters sitting in the viewing gallery were all in an uproar. Unexpectedly, the witness wearing Seaman's clothing betrayed him in court!
The judge had no choice but to summon designer Tu to the court and confront Tao Zhiyun.
One insisted that he was selling the drawings, while the other insisted that he didn't know him.
Tao Zhiyun sneered and asked Designer Tu: "You said I bought your drawings. On what day, where and at what time did I buy your drawings?"
Designer Tu never expected that Tao Zhiyun would betray him in court, and he was so panicked that he was dripping with cold sweat.
He immediately stammered a lie and answered Tao Zhiyun's question.
Tao Zhiyun frowned: "Why do I remember that you just said that I bought the drawings from you at noon in mid-August.
Now he said that I bought the drawings from you on August 17th.
Which of your words is the truth, which of your words is a lie, or are they all lies?"
Painting the designer's face makes it look like death.
Just now he and Tao Zhiyun had a heated argument about whether to buy or sell the design drawings.
He couldn't even remember what he said.
Tao Yun said that his testimony was inconsistent, so how could he not be thrown into chaos?
Seeing this situation, the reporters in the auditorium could not understand the truth of the matter!
Even the tone of the crowd changed, and they were full of contempt when talking about Ximan's clothes.
No matter how high I was praised just now, I will step on you as hard as I can now.
Wang Rong and Guan Yonghua both turned pale with anger.
Especially Guan Yonghua, designer Tu is so old yet so timid.
After being deceived by the young Tao Zhiyun, he became confused and couldn't even remember what he said.
When he was arguing with Tao Zhiyun just now, he never mentioned the time and place when he sold the drawings to her, so there was no inconsistency in his words!
Designer Tu gritted his teeth and stammered: "Before... that... that was a slip of the tongue. Take what I say now as testimony."
Tao Zhiyun smiled contemptuously: "That was a slip of the tongue before?
But the problem is, you never mentioned the time and place of our transaction before, so where did the slip of the tongue come from?"
Designer Tu was immediately dumbfounded.
Tao Zhiyun pointed to the assistant of Ximan Clothing who was standing in the dock and said to the judge: "Although I have never met designer Tu, I have seen that man.
He not only bribed me, but also asked me to give perjury for them in court, and wrongly accused my factory director Lin.
He also threatened that if I didn’t do what he said, he would attack my son!”
