What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 635 - 200: Protecting One’s Property Is Also Called Legitimate Defense!_5

"Morning, grandpa, I’ve brought some buns. Would you like some?"

The old man was startled, "What, you’re here again?"

"Look at what you’re saying. You have to see things through, right? Waiting just one day is nothing."

With a bewildered look, the old man watched as the young man, holding a bag, sat down in the same spot as yesterday and then took out a book to read slowly.

For a moment, the old man felt this person couldn’t possibly be a lawyer; he had been around for many years and had never seen a lawyer so persistent.

Soon, Judge Shan received the news.

"Chief Liu, are you saying Tang Fangjing is waiting for me at the door again? This... what should I do? How can I go to the bureau?"

People were dumbfounded. Tang Fangjing, such a remarkable lawyer, was actually resorting to such a shameless method. It was a bit too disgraceful!

The key was that the other party seemed to be prepared for a long battle.

The leaders were also having a headache and hesitated before saying, "Just wait for now. You go on your fieldwork first. Maybe he won’t come tomorrow since he can’t possibly be handling just this one case."

Judge Shan was helpless and had to continue with his tasks.

Unwittingly, another two days had passed, and Tang Fangjing was as persistent as ever!

And somehow, a photo suddenly appeared on the internet.

It showed a young man sitting on the ground outside the enforcement bureau, eating a boxed meal.

Many recognized him at a glance; it was Tang Fangjing. But initially, everyone was curious why he would be sitting there eating.

However, as time went by, someone in the know soon spilled the beans.

"Tang Fangjing wanted to meet with the enforcement judge and has been waiting outside the enforcement bureau from morning till evening for four days, but he still can’t see anyone, and his calls go unanswered!"

Suddenly, the voices on the internet all turned towards the Changyi District Court...

Netizens thought it was simple: don’t the judges need to clock in? From morning till evening, can’t they spare even a few minutes?

This time, Judge Shan was on the verge of going numb. He should not have entangled himself with Tang Fangjing, and no one expected the man to actually wait from dawn to dusk.

The case was only about a claim of 400,000 yuan. Even if it were 4 million or 40 million, there was no need to fight so hard, right?

But he had no choice but to call Tang Fangjing.

"Director Tang, oh, I’m really sorry. I’ve been on fieldwork these past few days, and I didn’t know you were waiting for me at the door. I’m terribly sorry... I’ll head back now, and we can meet first."

"No problem, no problem, Judge Shan, I’ll wait for you!"

After hanging up, Old Tang shook his head. He didn’t know who was stirring up trouble with public opinion. Things that could be solved by legal and legitimate methods...

But it couldn’t be helped. Having chosen the path of an internet sensation, there would always be all kinds of surprises.

After waiting for about half an hour, Old Tang finally met Judge Shan, a middle-aged man.

Once they were seated in the office, Judge Shan finally said, "Director Tang, I have already investigated the accounts of Yashi Company, and right now, there really isn’t any cash available, so my suggestion is... let’s wait."

"Wait until the progress of Yashi’s projects picks up, then we can take out a portion from the supervised account, and by then, 400,000 won’t be a problem."

Old Tang shook his head, "No one knows the extent of the project’s progress, and Yashi’s Jingzhou company is just a branch. Therefore, I want to apply to include Yashi’s parent company as the party to be executed. Here is my application!"

As he finished speaking, Judge Shan’s face began to sour. He had known Tang Fangjing would say this, which is why he had been dragging his feet on meeting him. But now there was no way out.

Yashi Jingzhou being a branch meant that, according to general understanding, branches don’t have legal person status, and therefore cannot be plaintiffs or defendants in civil law. The responsibility of the branch is borne by the parent company, as stipulated by Article 14 of the "Company Law."

However, branches, or branch institutions, actually have a certain degree of independence, especially business entities with their own business licenses.

Article 48, Clause 1 of the "Civil Procedure Law" states: "Citizens, legal persons, and other organizations can be parties in civil litigation."

The Supreme People’s Court "Interpretation on the Application of the Civil Procedure Law" Article 52 states that other organizations mentioned in Article 48 of the Civil Procedure Law refer to organizations that are legally established, have an organizational structure and property, but do not have legal person status.

Clause 5 is: branches of legal persons that are legally established and have received business licenses.

As such, it’s not that a branch absolutely cannot be a defendant, at least for branches like Yashi Jingzhou, there would be no issue.

The problem lies with the assumption of responsibility. Article 74 of the "Civil Code" and Article 14 of the "Company Law" differ slightly, stating:

A branch that engages in civil activities in its own name, the resulting civil liability shall be borne by the legal person; it may also be borne by the assets managed by that branch first, and any deficiency shall be borne by the legal person.

Thus, Yashi’s debt can indeed be directly approached to the parent company, as this is specified by law.

However, regulations are regulations, and execution is execution.

The Changyi District Court is only a grassroots court, and Yashi Magic City is a large company of national nature, which means the enforcement judge has to go to Magic City to carry out the enforcement, definitely no small trouble.

So nobody wants to take the initiative to bring it up, and now, Tang Fangjing had openly broached the subject.

With a grim expression, Judge Shan said, "Lawyer Tang, it’s just a debt of 400,000;

there shouldn’t be a problem with Jingzhou company, right? I don’t think it’s necessary to go after the parent company..."

"Judge Shan, don’t worry about that. If a debt of 400,000 is a bit small, we can just increase their debt a bit more. Then, when there’s more money, it will be worth going after the parent company, don’t you think?"
