Chapter 23: The Second Hearing Begins!
Watching Xie Jing and Ye Fei leave in anger, the adjudication officer responsible for mediation frowned slightly and spoke to Su Bai and Zhang Tongwei.
"Since the defendant does not agree to continue mediation, the plaintiff should prepare the statement of claim and litigation materials."
"You may proceed with filing the lawsuit."
After organizing the materials, the adjudication officer left the mediation room without engaging in much further communication with Su Bai and the plaintiff in order to avoid other complications.
Zhang Tongwei looked at the departing figure of the adjudication officer and felt somewhat worried. "Lawyer Su, the adjudication officer seemed unhappy. Was it because the mediation conditions we proposed were excessive?"
Su Bai appeared relaxed and asked in return, "We had not yet even explained why we proposed those conditions before the other party left, so how can it be said that the adjudication officer became unhappy because our conditions were excessive?"
What is the most important aspect of mediation?
It is mediation itself.
In general mediation, who would first reveal their own bottom line?
Everyone begins with very high demands, then negotiates step by step, each side making concessions until the matter is resolved.
The fact that the mediation conditions he proposed were excessive was not a problem.
What the adjudication officer found unacceptable was Ye Fei and Xie Jing's departure, their disregard for mediation, and their lack of respect for the process, which could not possibly be attributed to the plaintiff's side.
After realizing this, Zhang Tongwei relaxed. "Lawyer Su, what should we do next?"
"What follows is simple. The adjudication officer has already said that we should prepare the statement of claim and litigation materials. I have already prepared these."
"All right. All right."
Zhang Tongwei nodded seriously.
Su Bai had already prepared the statement of claim and litigation materials earlier.
After mediation failed, they were directly submitted to the court.
The court quickly completed acceptance of the case, determined the hearing date, and notified both parties' lawyers and the litigants.
Inside Nanyuan Law Firm.
Ye Fei looked at her fan group and saw that a fan named 'Xue' had posted a message in the group.
"Nandu Basic Court has already accepted the case. Another sister is about to win her case again. Sisters who need assistance should contact me as soon as possible to handle divorce litigation."
After posting this.
Ye Fei saw that Xue did not respond at all and sighed.
This was a major case.
If she could complete this case involving assets of thirty million, she could obtain at least one million in legal fees.
Unfortunately.
Although Xue did not respond, the fan group remained very lively.
'Wow! Which lucky sister is this again? Quickly share your experience!'
'I am really envious. My useless husband's property is all under his parents' control. I have long wanted to stop living with him, but if I divorce him I cannot obtain any property. I am so envious.'
'Yes yes, another good sister is about to succeed. Congratulations, let me share in the good fortune.'
'I want to share in the good fortune. I am already tired of this life. If I were not hoping to obtain my husband's premarital property, I would have stopped living with him long ago. When will I be able to hire Lawyer Ye Fei to handle my divorce case? I am so envious.'
After seeing the content of the fan group's conversation, Li Xuezhen expressed her disdain.
She could not understand why anyone would treat marriage as a transaction. After taking screenshots of all the chat records, she sent them to Su Bai.
"Lawyer Su, these are the latest developments in the fan group."
"Good!"
"Well done. Continue working hard. I will promote you to partner in the future."
After offering this encouragement, Su Bai organized all the materials and slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
This lawsuit was certain to be won.
There might even be some unexpected gains.
They only needed to wait for the hearing.
The hearing date for the lawsuit filed by Zhang Tongwei against Xie Jing arrived very soon.
Before the hearing, Ye Fei was still advertising in the fan group.
'Sisters, another divorce lawsuit is about to begin. Wait for my good news. If there are any sisters who wish to initiate divorce litigation, remember to contact me.'
The fans in the group immediately expressed their unconditional support.
'We are waiting for Lawyer Ye to return with another victory.'
'Yes yes, we are waiting for Lawyer Ye to win again.'
'Congratulations in advance to Lawyer Ye on another victory.'
'+1 +1 +1 +1 +1'
While waiting in the courtroom waiting room.
Li Xuezhen was extremely excited. This was her second time entering a hearing as an intern lawyer.
Compared with the previous time, this time she was full of confidence in Su Bai.
If they won the second lawsuit.
Then she would be an intern lawyer with a one hundred percent success rate in two cases.
She felt extremely pleased.
Su Bai glanced at Li Xuezhen, who was immersed in her own satisfaction, shook his head slightly, and did not say much.
Victory was inevitable.
It was appropriate to feel happy.
At the same time.
In the waiting room of the defendant's side.
Xie Jing still felt somewhat uneasy, because this lawsuit had not been filed as a divorce case.
After hesitating for a while, she still asked, "Lawyer Ye, this lawsuit is not a marital lawsuit. Can we win?"
Ye Fei saw Xie Jing's concern and smiled as she reassured her. "Sister, you can rest assured. The other party has filed a fraud accusation, but the core issue still lies in the marriage. Your marital relationship with Zhang Tongwei is a fact. What exactly is he accusing you of?"
"Moreover, although I am not a professional criminal lawyer, the opposing Baijun Law Firm is also a law firm that focuses on marital consultation."
"The professional level of lawyers at an individual law firm is limited."
"Do you not trust me?"
Ye Fei's words had a strong reassuring effect, and Xie Jing gradually calmed down.
The staff entered the waiting room.
They led both parties and their lawyers into the courtroom.
After both parties' lawyers and litigants were seated, the court clerk began to read the courtroom discipline.
The first half of the hearing procedure consisted of the following.
The court clerk verified whether the parties and their entrusted lawyers were present, read the courtroom discipline, the collegiate bench consisting of the presiding judge and two adjudicators entered, the presiding judge declared the hearing open and verified the identities of the relevant personnel, announced the cause of action, and asked whether any party requested recusal.
At this moment, the hearing had reached the stage at which the members of the collegiate bench entered.
"All rise!"
"Please welcome the presiding judge and the adjudicators."
Immediately.
All personnel in the courtroom stood.
Su Bai looked toward the judicial bench, where the names of the adjudicators were indicated.
[Presiding Judge: Yang Yu. Adjudicator: Jiang Hao. Adjudicator: Liu Hongmei.]
Two male adjudicators and one female adjudicator formed the collegiate bench.
Jiang Hao was the adjudication officer who had previously conducted the out of court mediation.
Yang Yu and the two adjudicators stepped onto the judicial bench and struck the gavel. "The court is now in session."
Soon afterward, the verification of identities was completed.
Yang Yu began to announce the cause of action. "The plaintiff Zhang Tongwei accuses the defendant Xie Jing of committing fraud against him under the pretext of marriage. Plaintiff, is the cause of action accurate?"
Su Bai sat at the counsel's table, adjusted his suit slightly, and said, "Our side accuses the defendant Xie Jing. The cause of action is accurate."
Yang Yu looked at the submitted litigation materials and struck the gavel.
"The cause of action is confirmed."
"Next, the plaintiff is requested to present the facts, reasons, and litigation claims."
