The Return of the Reborn King

Chapter 475 Between applause (2)
Although Queen's Counsel is not a formal class of barristers, they do receive special treatment in court, and their ability to win cases is not at the same level as ordinary lawyers.

In fact, at the beginning, before the "Alliance" invited a lawyer, the first consideration was not the lawyer with too many qualifications, but the legal consultant of his company.It's a pity that because of the shareholder dispute of Ross Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., the opponent who is currently the number one shareholder is not willing to let his people act as lawyers for such an important case, so he turned to the second and chose the current one. the lawyer.

Stephen looked at Zhan Wenlan, and suddenly stopped smiling, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be suppressed no matter what.He almost couldn't wait to see what wonderful expressions those old guys would have when they looked at the lawyers of both sides when they went to court.

"If this is the case, the other party will know that we have cooperated as soon as the court session begins, and I will not be able to interfere in the 'alliance' affairs in the future. It doesn't matter?" Stephen looked at him with deep meaning. Anything can only be done by surprise. , the effect is most obvious.If the alliance found out that Zhan Wenlan's lawyer belonged to him during the first preliminary trial, the "alliance" would definitely push him away from the alliance without hesitation.

"I believe that the profits you will get after this lawsuit will definitely be much more exciting than what you are now relying on the 'alliance' arrangement. If you want to achieve an unusual result, you often have to pay an unusual price, you said, yes Right?" Zhan Wenlan did not refute.Indeed, the idea of ​​maximizing profits without any risk sounds like a myth.Where can someone really get something for nothing?If this is the case, perhaps this suspicious Stephen will immediately choose to back away!
"Okay! I'll just bet it once!" Stephen stood up suddenly, and stretched out his right hand towards him: "I'll ask him to contact you as soon as possible about the lawyer's matter. I will hurry up and do some information that the 'Alliance' can provide." I will give you a share. However, all help can only be done until the first trial. At that time, the people in the 'Alliance' know that we are cooperating, and I want to provide convenience, but there is no possibility."

Zhan Wenlan also stood up, held his right hand very solemnly, and said softly: "You don't have to worry about things after that."

After hearing what he said, Stephen couldn't help raising his eyebrows, really confident.At this time, there is still this kind of courage, the truth is that heroes come out of youth.

The efficiency of the meeting between the two was obvious. It was agreed not to mention the lawyer, and all the cooperation before the first trial was decided at the same time, without delay.That night, Stephen called the lawyer when he got home.

Although the person who answered the phone was slightly older than Zhan Wenlan, he was definitely a genius in the judiciary. Many justices had mentioned it in front of countless people, and he had never seen a person more suitable to be a lawyer than him. It's as if he was born to do this.

Hearing Stephen's cooperation with Zhan Wenlan, the other party didn't react with any surprise.When the "Alliance" didn't invite him back then, he knew that the things involved behind it were extremely complicated. As a lawyer, his reputation was already high enough. Handing this lawsuit into his hands was no different from public opinion or workplace planning. It is a good thing to say, not to mention, as long as the secret cooperation between Zhan Wenlan and those people is exaggerated, X's disadvantages can be turned into advantages immediately, and it may be able to attract many people's sympathy votes. The chances of winning, why should he push away this great opportunity?

So, three days after the appointment, Stephen, the lawyer and Zhan Wenlan met again to study how the lawsuit would proceed.

Zhan Wenlan's three friends couldn't help but lament his good luck.He once joked that in his current situation, it would be impossible to win the lawsuit unless he hired a "god" who revived the legal profession.Now it seems that even such a royal lawyer consultant can come forward. Although he may not have the boundless ability of a "god", it is not far behind.

Most civil cases in the UK are resolved in the pre-trial process, which is at the heart of dispute resolution.The pre-trial procedure refers to the litigation stage from the filing of the lawsuit to the trial, including: preparing for the trial; handling the case without going through the trial; making interim or temporary relief before the trial.Therefore, the pre-trial procedure can be divided into three parts: pre-trial preparation, pre-trial treatment and pre-trial relief.The new "Civil Procedure Rules" in the United Kingdom stipulates that the main stages and matters of pre-trial preparation procedures can be summarized as follows: litigation and jurisdiction; parties; service; litigation and answering procedures; pre-trial evidence discovery; The purpose is to sort out the issues, fix the litigation claims and evidence, and determine the trial schedule of the case.Pre-trial procedures refer to the procedures for handling cases that do not require a trial, generally including reconciliation, contract/payment, default judgment, summary procedure, withdrawal, order agreed by the parties, etc.Pretrial relief, including temporary injunctions, freezing orders, search warrants, interim payments, security for litigation costs, etc., aims to provide prompt and effective protection to the parties.

All in all, it is not like those TV dramas that people often see on TV. If you file a lawsuit today, you will be able to go to court directly in a day or two.On the contrary, after a lawsuit, it is definitely slow, complicated, lengthy, repetitive, vague, highly technical, and extremely tests people's patience.

However, everything is special.

When Zhan Wenlan, Stephen, and the royal legal counsel began to gather all the strong evidence, the preliminary trial came ahead of schedule without warning, and it came suddenly in the second week of Zhan Wenlan's arrival in the UK.

Standing in the dock of the court, Zhan Wenlan was almost stared at by the audience.

Mr. X, who has always been mysterious and low-key and has never appeared in public, the most famous top rich man in the UK, almost spanning multiple industries in the UK, unexpectedly is such a young and gentle Chinese with a son like Lan in front of him!

Shock, incomprehension, and disbelief flashed in everyone's eyes, and then turned into a kind of envy, coldness, and jealousy, and finally gradually replaced by a kind of ridicule and paranoia with malicious intentions.

Of course, only occasionally a few people showed a slight look of pity in their eyes.

Stephen watched with some sarcasm as everyone performed a colorful ukiyo-e here. The world always determines success or failure by achievement. If this Zhan Wenlan in front of him was not standing in the dock, their eyes might be caught by greed, flattery, Instead of reverence and awe.

Although, as a British, there is always a kind of arrogance in his bones, but now looking at the expressions in the eyes of his compatriots, Stephen still feels a little disgusted.

Before the court announced the official opening of the court session, Stephen couldn't help but approached the dock, and gently leaned into Zhan Wenlan's ear: "Didn't you say that you once helped the mayor? Didn't there be any response?"
