When Lu Ming and his party returned to the hotel after dinner, they were all silent. Everyone could see that the lawsuit was at a huge disadvantage.
Just entering the hotel lobby, Wang Furong finally couldn't help it anymore, "Boss Lu, what are you doing? I believe you and will sue those bastards with you. You lied to me and said there was a big case from the East China Sea. Why didn't you?
Are you here? Are you originally from the Mining Bureau?!"
"Brother-in-law..." Cui Xiaodong wanted to say something.
"Who is your brother-in-law?! Find out your identity!" Wang Furong stared.
Although it is not stated explicitly, the implicit meaning is that your sister Cui is just my concubine. When I am happy, you call me brother-in-law. Now that I am losing my temper, how can you interrupt?
Cui Xiaodong was startled and lowered his head.
At this moment, the ghostly sound of the suona sounded, and it was Mrs. Red Jackal who was coming from the corridor beyond the stairs.
Wang Furong immediately showed fear and hid far away. Everyone else also avoided it. Only Lu Ming and Heitou who were with him, and Uncle Sun did not move much.
The beautiful girls in colorful dresses who were scattering flower petals in front slowly stopped because Lu Ming and three others were blocking the way.
Suddenly, Uncle Sun suddenly stood in front of Lu Ming. With a wave of his hand, there was a blue and cold light as thin as an ox hair in the two fingers. Apparently, some poison was quenched on it. It was supposed to be silent.
The filament that Wuxi shot into Lu Ming's body is very short. You can't see it unless you look carefully. I'm afraid that if it pierces Lu Ming's body, you won't feel it. It's just that Lu Ming's reverse scale stage may give him a different feeling.
Already.
Hong Yun, who was lazily curled up on the bamboo chair, suddenly sat up straight, her hibiscus pink mask was covered with a layer of frost, and above her charming phoenix eyes, the light blue eyeshadow suddenly turned into bright red, and immediately there was a demonic wind blowing across her face.
In this splendid hall, it is the enchantress whose face looks like a flower, and the jade trees illuminate the back courtyard.
Lu Ming gently patted Uncle Sun on the shoulder, and Uncle Sun took half a step back to the side, but he still watched every move of the seductress on the bamboo chair vigilantly.
"I really underestimate you!" Looking at Lu Ming with her beautiful eyes, Madam Red Jackal suddenly giggled, her flower branches trembled wildly, and she was so seduced, "I didn't expect that you still have such a servant." She shook her concubine gently.
, "It's a pity, it's a pity, I followed the wrong person. Otherwise, follow me, Lu Ming, and give him to me. When you are abandoned by your master in despair, I will save one of your eyes!"
Lu Ming smiled: "Do you think I will lose the lawsuit? Moreover, because of this lawsuit, I will offend all the officials here, so I have no choice but to go, right?" Then he said strangely: "Normally, I don't either.
For offending you, Hei Laoliu and the others want to encircle and suppress your Jackal Gang. This is also my master's plan. If she doesn't cooperate with you, what does it have to do with me? Why do you insist on my death? We have a deep hatred? "
Mrs. Red Jackal smiled half-heartedly, then leaned back on her seat, obviously about to set off.
A subtle voice came from Lu Ming's ear: "When you are desperate, you can come and seek refuge with me. I will eat your eyes. From now on, your life will be protected by me. I don't know why, but I particularly like your pair of tricks."
Son." A few more chuckles.
Lu Ming frowned, he was a madman.
The beautiful girl who was scattering flower petals turned slightly and walked past Lu Ming and his party, with bamboo chairs and tents, and followed her.
It was obvious that she had been commanded by her secret skills. No wonder, these attendants seemed to really worship her like a god.
"Let's go too!" Lu Ming made a gesture, took two steps, looked at Wang Furong who was slowly following him, and said: "Old Wang, since you have no confidence in me, so be it, your coal mining rights are also It’s only been two years, sell it to me, you can give me a price.”
Wang Furong sneered: "One hundred thousand! Do you want it?" He felt as if you were seriously ill.
I have already made up my mind to pack up and run away.
It is true that my mine has less than three years of mining rights left. With the current situation, how can the Mining Bureau agree to renew the contract after the contract expires?
Originally, I thought I could earn as much as I could in three years, and then my whole family would immigrate to the East China Sea.
But looking at it now, if we keep wasting it, something might happen, so we might just run away.
Lu Ming smiled: "Fifty thousand, how about it?"
Wang Furong was stunned and rolled his eyes, "Cash?"
Lu Ming nodded: "I'll send someone to get it right away. As long as Lao Wang, you don't scold me anymore and think I've tricked you!"
Wang Furong frowned slightly, does this guy still think he can win the lawsuit?
"Old Wang, otherwise forget it, but please stop complaining from now on, it gives me a headache." Lu Ming said seriously, "I don't like people nagging around me."
Wang Furong immediately became angry. Do you think I really want to see you?
"Okay, if you want cash, I'll sign an agreement with you when I go up."
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
…
The next morning, the plaintiff's seat and the mine owners' representatives were absent from the court.
However, Lu Ming himself is one of the mine owners, so it doesn't matter.
Sharif looked at the lonely Lu Ming and his assistant on the plaintiff's bench, but his expression became more solemn. The young lawyer he knew was a dragon slayer who had knocked down many giants, and he would never stop there. Unless, he had a false reputation, and everything was originally a huge team advising him behind the scenes. Then he came to Montenegro, alone, and then his true identity was revealed?
But, is this possible?
At this time, Lu Ming stood up: "In court, I request that the defendant's representative, Chen Qifa, be summoned again for inspection."
Sharif nodded. "Okay, I hope your new questions will play an important role in this case. Otherwise, I will suspend your cross-examination at any time."
Chen Qifa stood up and walked onto the witness stand.
Lu Ming walked over and suddenly turned to the legal assistant Huang Guirong in the dock and smiled: "You think I'm going to lose, right?"
Huang Guirong was stunned.
Lu Ming smiled at her and said: "Fighting an economic or administrative appeal lawsuit is a very complicated project. There is a vast amount of information. Sometimes, if there is just a little missing, it may be the difference between the winner and the loser."
Wang Mazi frowned: "Lawyer Lu, please save your energy! What are you trying to do?"
Lu Ming ignored him and looked at Chen Qifai, "Excuse me, Inspector Chen Qifai, during your surprise inspection of thirteen coal mines in Longgang Xiping District on March 21, were there any safety inspectors?"
Chen Qifa was startled: "What?"
"Excuse me, did you have any safety inspectors during the surprise inspection on March 21? Please think carefully before answering this question, because if you answer untruthfully, you will be committing perjury in court."
Huang Guirong stood up immediately and said, "Our witnesses have the right not to answer until we know the intention of the plaintiff's lawyer."
Lu Ming smiled: "According to Jiangning Provincial Mining Safety Supervision Regulations, the province's mining safety supervision agencies must set up relevant safety inspectors. When conducting safety inspections on relevant enterprises, professionals holding safety inspector qualification certificates must participate. Safety Inspectors must be familiar with relevant mining safety laws, regulations and rules, have corresponding professional knowledge and relevant work experience, and be hired through examination.”
"Then, when conducting a surprise inspection on safety issues in Xiping District coal mines, coal mine safety inspectors must be present among the inspectors to comply with regulations."
"The Mining Safety Supervision Regulations of Jiangning Province are higher-level regulations, and the Heishan Mining Safety Audit Regulations are lower-level regulations. Even if there is no provision in the inspection regulations that requires the presence of safety inspectors, then according to the Mining Safety Supervision Regulations of this province, there is no safety inspector present.
If so, this surprise inspection is a violation!"
Lu Ming smiled and asked Wang Mazi: "Can you understand?" Then he turned and stared at Chen Qifa, "I'll ask you again, during the surprise inspection of Xiping District coal mines on March 21, did you have any coal mines?"
Is the safety inspector present?”
Chen Qifa was a little stunned and looked at Huang Guirong and Wang Mazi asking for help.
Huang Guirong frowned, obviously having no idea for a moment.
Wang Mazi gestured: "Yes, yes!"
Apparently, he thought, how hard would it be to immediately fabricate the identity of a security officer?
If it were in the East China Sea, such an action would probably make the jurors laugh immediately.
Sharif turned his head and pretended not to see.
Chen Qifa nodded: "Yes, we had safety inspectors present at that time!"
Lu Ming smiled and looked at Sharif: "Your honor, Inspector Chen Qifa is lying, because I have already investigated the identities of the fifteen inspectors who participated in the surprise inspection on March 21, including Deputy Chai Jinhua.
There are no safety inspectors among them.”
"In fact, according to my investigation, the Longgang branch has never conducted examinations and certifications for safety inspectors since they were dispatched."
"Even the Heishan Mining Bureau last conducted a safety inspector examination thirty-five years ago, which was the year when Jiangning Provincial Mining Safety Supervision Regulations were last revised, and it was also the first time that Governor Yaxon took office.
Years later, when Governor Yaxon resigned one year later, the examination for safety inspectors was never held again. That is to say, thirty-four years later, the safety inspectors of that year must be at least over fifty years old, and
The oldest inspector who conducted a surprise inspection of our coal mine was only forty-five years old. What's more, safety inspectors are inspected every five years, and the qualifications of the first batch of safety inspectors have long been invalidated."
Governor Yaxon is what Cui Xiaodong said. He was the governor who came to office with many new ideas. During his tenure, there were lawsuits brought against the government by the people.
But it was obvious that he struggled here and soon failed.
As he spoke, Lu Ming turned to Wang Mazi and said, "My investigation materials are all in the file box where I disclosed the evidence to you. Didn't you see it?"
Wang Mazi's face was livid, he snorted coldly, suddenly remembered something, and said to Huang Guirong fiercely: "Why didn't you notice? It's really useless!"
Huang Guirong's face turned slightly pale and he lowered his head.
She took the initiative to look through the more than one hundred boxes placed in the judge's office. She stayed up all night, but how could one person see through them? She only checked a quarter of the boxes throughout the night.
Because if you read it in a hurry, it will be useless. The other party will definitely mess up the order of the documents and hide the real material. Therefore, you need to read it word by word.
It is simply an impossible task for her to complete alone.
In fact, she took the initiative to do this, and Director Wang told her to ignore it.
Over there, Lu Ming looked at Sharif: "Your Honor, Inspector Chen Qifai is committing perjury. In addition, in this case, it is obvious that the surprise inspection by the Inspection Team of the Longgang Branch of the Montenegro Mining Bureau is an illegal law enforcement. I request you to revoke his administrative penalty decision!
"
Sharif thought for a while and nodded: "As for Inspector Chen Qifa's perjury, I will transfer it to the prosecutor's office for investigation. As for the penalty decision of the Longgang Branch Inspection Team of the Montenegro Mining Bureau on March 21 against all coal mines in Xiping District, Longgang County, because
His inspection behavior violated relevant laws and regulations, and there were flaws in the law enforcement procedures, so this court has revoked it!" He said, picking up the gavel and banging it hard.
Cui Xiaodong immediately stood up with cheers and clenched his fists vigorously.
Several coal mine owners in the audience also hugged each other in celebration.
In the dock, Huang Guirong was stunned. Lawyer Lu won? How is this possible?
But when he turned around to look, he saw that Director Wang was not taking it seriously.
Chen Qifa, who had already walked back and sat down, also had a relaxed expression on his face.
Wang Mazi played a little tune and glared at Huang Guirong: "Pack up and leave!"
Seeing Huang Guirong's confused face, Chen Qifa smiled and said: "Lawyer Huang, didn't you listen to the judge? The law enforcement procedures are just flawed. We will hold an exam tonight to select safety inspectors, and we will go to the Xiping Mining Area tomorrow to bring in the new ones.
Safety officer, and then increase the punishment! This time there will be no more flaws in the law enforcement procedures."
Huang Guirong suddenly realized that, in fact, Director Wang and Inspector Chen had already expected this result. Judge Sharif had already communicated with them, and even if they lost the case in the end, nothing would actually change.
Last time, our law enforcement procedures violated the rules, so why don’t we check you again in a few days? This time we will definitely follow the rules and ensure that you can’t find any fault. But if you have any slightest violation of safety regulations, then we will investigate you better than before.
A few days later, the punishment was even more severe.
Huang Guirong stared blankly at the thin figure standing in front of the judge's bench, and suddenly felt a little sad in his heart.
What is the law here? Even if you try harder to make the impossible possible and win the lawsuit, in fact, nothing has changed, and it will only bring worse results.
"Lawyer Lu?" When Sharif was signaling the clerk to announce his withdrawal from the court, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Lu Ming making a gesture.
Lu Ming smiled: "Your honor, the inspection team's surprise inspection this time is not a procedural flaw, but an illegal surprise inspection. Moreover, the process is ridiculous. I think they will conduct a retaliatory inspection again soon, so
, I request your Excellency to issue a temporary injunction to temporarily prohibit the Montenegro Mining Supervision System from conducting surprise inspections of any coal mine owner involved in this case. I hope this ban will be for one year."
"Our relevant coal mine owner will submit relevant safety and security information to this court every month. As long as no safety accident occurs, I hope that your Excellency will prohibit the mining law enforcement department from inspecting any minerals of the coal mine owner in this case within one year.
Unless the inspection department has clear and conclusive evidence that we have seriously violated safety regulations."
Lu Ming's words were not high-pitched, but Wang Mazi and others could hear him.
Wang Mazi and Chen Qifai looked at each other with mocking smiles on their faces. This guy simply didn't know what to say.
Sharif also looked at Lu Ming with a wry smile, "Lawyer Lu, you are so whimsical!"
"Your Honor, I'm not trying to embarrass you." Lu Ming smiled, "Actually, in Donghai, a few days ago, the High Court has issued a guiding interpretation document on violations of administrative penalty procedures. This is because, in Donghai,
Similarly, after some law enforcement officers violated the law, although the court revoked the administrative penalty, these law enforcement officers would use the excuse of flaws in the law enforcement procedures to come back a few days later and impose heavier penalties. This resulted in the companies and companies subject to law enforcement being punished.
Citizens are in a state of being completely oppressed, and it is even more difficult for law enforcement officers to form a kind of self-discipline and restraint on law enforcement officers to strictly follow the procedures."
"Therefore, in accordance with the latest guidance of the Donghai High Court, various local courts in Donghai can distinguish cases of violations of administrative penalty procedures. If the administrative penalties are caused by serious violations of law enforcement, the local courts can issue a temporary injunction to prohibit the use of administrative penalties for a period of time.
Within a period of time, the law enforcement agency will re-investigate the companies and citizens originally subject to law enforcement under the same administrative regulations."
"Moreover, the latest guidance from the Donghai High Court has been recognized by the Federal Supreme Court. I think the Federal Supreme Court will soon issue a similar guiding interpretation document."
As he spoke, Lu Ming went back to the plaintiff's bench, took out a few pages of documents, returned and sent them to the judge's bench, and smiled: "I also gave a copy of this document to the defendant."
Sharif was stunned, picked up the document and looked at it.
Lu Ming added: "If your honor does not issue a temporary injunction, causing the inspection team to conduct harassing and retaliatory inspections of my minerals again, which will seriously affect the production and operation activities of my company, then I will still come to this court to litigate. Judge
If your Excellency decides that I lose the case, I will appeal to the Provincial High Court. If the High Court fails, then we will go to the Federal Supreme Court. I have a lot to say about everything here."
After a pause, "Your Honor, you have some old friends in the judicial circles of the Imperial City, right? They should be very interested in knowing how you are doing here."
Sharif's heart trembled. Every year when he returned to the imperial capital, he saw some old friends. When talking about life and work here, he never kept silent. What could he say?
I really have nothing to say, and some of my students respect me so much. What would they think of me if they knew the true situation of my work here?
Moreover, if a lawsuit over this kind of administrative enforcement procedure really reaches the Supreme Court, it will simply become a joke.
Everything here may be under the spotlight.
The young man in front of me is bound to stir up a storm.
He would even enjoy it, and maybe he really hoped to go to the Supreme Court to litigate the case. After all, this lawsuit was so ridiculous that he didn't bother with it at all. How could the inspectors seize the mine and impose huge fines without even going to the mine?
Wait, in a land governed by law, it is simply unimaginable. You can imagine how the legal professionals in the imperial capital would react when they see this.
"Also, your honor, the illegal seizure by the inspectors has caused losses to several of our coal mines. Here is a list." Lu Ming handed over a form.
Sharif looked at it and couldn't help but be stunned. Is this too exaggerated?
What, Sansha Coal Mine, because of the intimidation of the inspectors, the workers ran out of the coal mine in a hurry, even forgetting to light their lights.
