Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 326 Collation
Utsunomiya never expected that Kitahara would set such a trap for him unconsciously.I was careless, really careless.I take it for granted that ancient books are collated, simply understanding that the purpose is to correct typos, not to restore the original original characters of ancient books.

In a daze, Utsunomiya raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him.At this moment, he somehow had a feeling that he couldn't see through this young man.From the first encounter at the disciplinary hearing, to the first, and now this trial.The appearance of this Beiyuan lawyer is completely unlike a lawyer who has just graduated from university for two or three years.

He has zero practical experience in copyright law cases!
Why is such a young man able to do this to such an extent.

Utsunomiya felt that what happened in front of him was too incredible.Freak, what a freak!

The university students in the auditorium couldn't help but change their expressions slightly when they saw this scene.From the very beginning, the university management thought that Shimogawa hired such a young lawyer as nothing more than an attempt to blackmail the university because he saw that it was difficult to get tenure.

However, in the current scene, this "problem-provoking" lawyer can actually compete with the famous university professor in the courtroom.

Utsunomiya felt the gaze from the listener, and he immediately opened his mouth to remedy: "Even if the so-called collation of ancient books is carried out using other schools' methods or our own school's methods, the plaintiff has to prove the relevant specialized knowledge required for the selection of other characters."

"For example, if most of the manuscripts were formed in an earlier historical period, and there is a unified writing about a certain typo, then it is almost certain that the typography in the manuscripts of later periods was corrupted in the biography. Then In this case, no expertise is required to make a judgment."

Utsunomiya glanced at the documents at hand, as if he had noticed something, his expression flashed with excitement, "In fact, the situation is just like the analogy I just made. The mustard seed garden book that the plaintiff relied on for proofreading, Among the 17 copies, its appearance time is also later than most versions, but relatively speaking, it contains more fragments."

"In this case, the plaintiff can use the earlier version to conduct corrections directly without spending too much effort. The defendant has reason to suspect that the correction may be a simple correction based on the previous version .In this case, it is not surprising that there is even a large area of ​​duplication."

Utsunomiya grasped the argument just now and extended it again.

To a certain extent, it can be regarded as alleviating the embarrassing scene just now.

Looking at these actions, Beiyuan had a strange smile on his mouth, as if watching an enemy who was constantly struggling in the torrent but destined to be futile from the shore.

He gently picked up a copy of "Eastern Land Tour and Repatriation to the Tang Dynasty" on the plaintiff's desk, flipped the pages, and muttered to himself, "It's really strange. Professor Fujimura's proofreading not only included most of the other characters Even the collation notes are exactly the same. Could there be such a coincidence?"

The moment he heard this, Utsunomiya's heart tightened.The so-called collation note means that the author briefly writes down the reasons for adding, deleting, and changing words during the process of proofreading.Usually only one or two sentences in form.Although short, it can leave the basis for correction for others' reference.

Could it be... Could it be!Fujimura also...

Utsunomiya's expression froze, and he stood where he was.

Appreciating the law professor's expression, Beiyuan pressed the remote control in his hand, "Chief referee. Please pay attention to the collation of this book. For example, the third chapter of the first volume, 'The ministers of the princes are called the accompanying ministers by the emperor'. Here The collation record of "Yue" was originally the word "Gu" before "Yue", which was deleted according to Gao Shan's version. That is to say, the original sentence in the base version is "The ministers of the princes are called accompanying ministers because of the son of heaven."

"Another example is the fourth chapter of the first volume, 'According to the wolf's orphan'. The collation here reads, 'there are four stars under the wolf called the orphan', so the 'fox' is suspected to be the orphan. Here it is about sending the Tang envoy Guan Gu to perform divination. The deduction is based on the position of the wolf lone star. Among them, the original text is "according to the wolf fox". This time the fox should be a corruption, because there is only the wolf lone star in astronomy, not the wolf fox star."

"For another example, the second chapter of the third volume, 'to show the princes to follow the trend of form and control'. This is about Guan Gu, the envoy sent to the Tang Dynasty, noticing that Dongtu deliberately made mistakes in the jurisdiction of the various envoys, so as to Mutual checks and balances. Among them, the collation record here is: Mo Yuan’s version, without the word “effectiveness”. That is to say, in the base version of Mo Yuan’s version, the original text is “to show the power of the princes.”

"All this and so on, we can see that the defendant Fujimura's proofreading work has a large number of proofreading notes that are the same as the plaintiff Shimogawa's third draft proofreading. Not only are the corrections of other characters exactly the same, but even the proofreading notes of other characters are exactly the same Let me ask, isn't this situation able to prove that the defendant Fujimura is blatantly plagiarizing Shimokawa's results?!"

The suddenly amplified voice, like a questioning, tortured the dean who did not appear in court.

After the voice fell.

The entire court fell into an unprecedented silence.

The young lawyer's words were like a heavy hammer hitting the table, exuding irrefutable power.

Seeing this proof, the management of the university couldn't control their expressions anymore. At this time, their eyes fell on the great authority of Oriental law, and they were already praying in their hearts.Whether this authority can still withstand such an attack.

Utsunomiya was silent, he was forced to be speechless by this Kitahara.

Yes, the dignified vice president of the Oriental Intellectual Property Law Society has been forced to such a point.

The law professor's mind was running fast, quickly thinking about the countermeasures.The constantly diverging thoughts almost exhausted every cell and nerve.

After being silent for nearly 5 minutes, as if in a secluded passage with thousands of twists and turns, finally found the answer that can be used to fight back, Utsunomiya stood up again, holding Fujimura's "Eastern Land Tour and Sending Tang Dynasty" in his hand. remember".

After all, he is an authority on Oriental law.

It is absolutely impossible to be defeated so easily.

"Chief judge, please pay attention to the foreword of the defendant's book. In the preface, the defendant has stated that the collations are written by himself, and there are also collations written by ancients directly excerpted from other bases. Therefore, the collation of Tang Ji The diary actually consists of two parts—the collation notes of the ancients and the collation records of the modern people. When the ancients copied the original version of Tang Ji, they would also make collation notes.”

"Without making the above distinction, the plaintiff conducted a direct comparison, and the results obtained are bound to be unfair. The plaintiff should conduct corresponding investigations and remove the collation notes extracted from the ancient manuscripts in order to obtain a real comparison. Regarding the results. The collation notes disclosed by the plaintiff are similar, inaccurate, incomplete, and untrue!"

As soon as this rebuttal was finished, the young male lawyer suddenly retorted, "Chief judge, the standard required by the burden of proof in the civil procedure law is a high degree of probability. However, the object of comparison is all the collation notes. It can objectively reflect the similarity of the collation notes of the two collation works. If the defendant thinks that the comparison result is not objective, it should provide specific evidence to refute it.”

"In other words." Beiyuan said coldly, "The defendant's attorney should produce specific evidence to prove that the similar collation notes came from ancient collations! Otherwise, it is just such a general talk, and it cannot be regarded as a fact that has been refuted and completed. Proof!"

In the courtroom, the young male lawyer and the renowned Toyo law professor had another heated debate on the burden of proof.Nuo Da's trial court seems to have become a battlefield full of gunpowder...
