What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 259: Chapter 118: The Law Must Not Yield to the Unlawful!_2

The staff member took it and upon glancing at it, the words "administrative lawsuit" shone brightly. Then, looking at the defendant column, the name 'Minsheng Road Police Station' was equally dizzying.

"Lawyer Tang, is this... is this an administrative lawsuit? A fine of two hundred, isn't it, Lawyer Tang, this is a bit..."

The staff member didn't know what to say, considering such actions could be seen as a bit of a waste of judicial resources.

Old Tang, upon hearing this, chuckled: "A bit of what? Two hundred is indeed not a lot of money, but it's about not accepting the administrative punishment."

"So you first check if you can file the case."

The staff member hesitated, as she of course knew that this Lawyer Tang had gone to Hanxi Province and sued the courts there.

However, the situation with this case was different, two hundred yuan; honestly, the Xihong District Court had never witnessed such an administrative lawsuit before.

The staff member was troubled, while Old Tang had no particular thoughts on this, simply stating, "File the case if it meets the criteria, or tell me if it's not to be filed. Just that simple."

It had nothing to do with the amount of the fine, although it seemed to be for fun, every step was in accordance with the procedure.

If it were a civil lawsuit with a claim amount of two hundred yuan, it wouldn't be filed at all, but would directly be sent to the pre-litigation mediation center.

However, lawsuits over specific administrative actions couldn't be mediated; either the administrative action was valid, or it was invalid.

"Then, Lawyer Tang, you go back and wait. Once we have a result from the review, we'll notify you."

"No problem, I have plenty of time. Take your time with the review," Old Tang said still with a smile on his face.

Nobody bore any ill will; it was just a different understanding of the matter.

The case got reported to the manager of the case-filing division, who was rendered speechless upon reviewing the lawsuit.

"Seriously, is the party concerned missing this two hundred? Such a small issue and they went to the trouble of initiating an administrative lawsuit?" the manager commented.

It really wasn't appropriate; otherwise, he was almost inclined to offer to pay the two hundred himself.

The staff member across said, "That Lawyer Tang stated it's not about the two hundred, but rather that he feels the conflict shouldn't simply be classified as a mutual brawl..."

"Alright, alright, no more talk, just file the case. Since it meets legal requirements, let the judges in the administrative division worry about the rest."

Let's see what decision they make. An administrative action over a two hundred yuan fine actually made its way to court, which truly seemed like doing it for fun.

Two days later, Old Tang received a notification from the Xihong District Court, deciding to file the case!

The Minsheng Road Police Station was still very busy, as the jurisdictions of the grassroots stations were generally large and formal police officers were in short supply.

Che Quanzhong had already forgotten the previous incident. For him, it was just a common mutual assault case. Both parties were dissatisfied, so they resorted to administrative punishment, that's all.

This kind of thing was too common.

Now, he was on duty at the front when he saw a police officer come into the station.

"Hello, comrade, may I ask if you are..."

The entering officer smiled: "Hello, I am from the Xihong District Court. I'm here to deliver some documents."

Che Quanzhong didn't find it strange since the court often sent over requests for assistance due to cases.

After he took the documents and glanced at them, he suddenly stiffened.

"A summons? Wait, comrade, are you here to deliver a summons?"

The court officer touched his head, looking a bit embarrassed: "Uh, yes, is your leader in? If so, could you have him sign this?" Enjoy exclusive content from m-v l'-NovelBin.net

Che Quanzhong didn't have time to respond as he was currently flipping through the copy of the complaint.

His first thought wasn't about Yu Erming and Ju Haiqing, because their matter was really too trivial.

But as he opened it, he saw the plaintiff's name.

"What's the deal with this person, suing over two hundred yuan?" Che Quanzhong muttered discontentedly while looking at the copy of the complaint.

The station had already shown leniency; otherwise, according to the Public Security Administration Punishments Law, detention of fewer than five days and a fine under five hundred were 'either-or'!

Compromising, eh? The serious cases receive detention, the light ones – a fine. Both parties could probably accept that, and it would all be settled.

But unexpectedly, someone refused this time, and it was the one who got off lightly!

How was he supposed to report this to the leadership? The leadership would definitely be furious.

"Well, our leader isn't here right now, so..."

"No problem, no problem!" The court officer quickly waved his hand: "It's fine without the signature, it won't affect anything. I'll be going now, I still have several documents to deliver."

After the court officer left, Che Quanzhong had no choice but to take the documents to the leader's office.

He walked out of the office ten minutes later, sighing, what a mess. Indeed, for the grassroots level, two hundred yuan was really just a token sum.

What on earth were they thinking, what were they after!

In the office, Old Tang said to Wang Qingqing in front of him: "What are they after? Justice, of course. Some people might accept a compromise, but naturally, others won't."

"Those who won't accept it have to defend their rights; otherwise, what's the purpose of having laws."

As his assistant, the girl had just asked him whether it was necessary to sue over a matter of two hundred yuan.

In this world, not so many things are about necessity. Today you can say two hundred yuan is unnecessary, tomorrow you might say ten days in detention is unnecessary too.

Anyway, just endure and it'll pass.

"Alright, you may leave now. If you have such concerns again, I'll definitely need to find a new assistant."

While the girl was attractive, Old Tang was only for a passing glance.

Watching the door close, Old Tang let out a sigh. He, of course, knew that two hundred yuan wasn't worth going to court over, but it was absolutely necessary.

The other party had not realized their mistake at all, just like the father-daughter pair involved in the scamming incident before.
