What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 885 - 285: When will we ever make it to the Supreme Court at this rate!

Chapter 885: Chapter 285: When will we ever make it to the Supreme Court at this rate!

By the time Old Tang arrived in Xiping City, it was already very late. The hotel had been booked in advance and was located near the Provincial High Court.

After settling in, he began to write the application for a retrial.

In Old Tang’s view, the case was not very difficult; the challenge did not lie in the law itself.

If those in Hanxi Province were willing to be reasonable, that would be fine, but if they said that this case could not even initiate a retrial, then even better.

The Supreme Court, ah. Old Tang had been longing for it for quite some time.

To say a lawyer who has never been to the Supreme Court, it’s like a man is missing something, always feeling unsatisfied.

So he still hoped they could help create an opportunity for him to make a trip there and fulfill this wish.

It took about two hours to finish the application for a retrial in one go. After checking for errors, Old Tang fell into a deep sleep.

In the blink of an eye, the next day came; it was almost New Year’s Day. The weather in Hanxi Province was colder than in Handong Province. The first thing Old Tang did upon waking was to look at the calendar.

Another suitable day for the death penalty, winter as the main execution season, no mistake there, it looked like this time would go smoothly.

How could there not be an accident, you tell me.

Old Tang was also helpless; his reputation was growing bigger, and correspondingly, his work was becoming smoother.

What seemed to be troublesome before turned out to be handled very quickly once he got involved, just like that incident in Lincheng. Before he even took action, those people were taken down immediately.

What could he do? He could only leave with a smile because the outcome would have been the same even if he took action.

He used to wonder if some small-town folks were impulsive enough to arrest him directly, to let him experience what it was like inside, but unfortunately, there was no such opportunity.

Carrying his briefcase downstairs, he walked straight to the Hanxi Provincial High Court, which was just a ten-minute walk away.

The procedures were similar to those at the Handong Province High Court. You had to register first. Old Tang naturally had no objection, waiting in line obediently until it was his turn to pull out his ID card to register.

The security guard at the door hesitated for a moment and took a closer look before speaking, “Is this the Lawyer Tang Fangjing from Jingzhou?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the people queuing in front of and behind him all looked over. It was not common to meet the living Tang Fangjing.

“Lawyer Tang? Hello, hello, I am from a law firm in Xiping City… My name is…”

“Lawyer Tang, hello, my name is…”

Many people came up to greet him. Most people who come to the High Court are lawyers, and now seeing Tang Fangjing, they had to greet him.

Despite how the lawyers might feel about Tang Fangjing’s shortcomings, they had to admit that Tang Fangjing was the most principled person among them!

He changed many people’s opinions about lawyers on his own.

Old Tang smiled and replied, “Yes, yes, that’s me. Don’t stand on ceremony, everyone, I’m just going in.”

After completing registration, he carried his briefcase and entered the High Court.

A group of lawyers behind him exchanged glances. Tang Fangjing had actually come to Hanxi Province, and straight to the Provincial High Court at that. There must be a big case!

What else could he be doing at the High Court? It must be an appeal. Given Tang Fangjing’s character, a civil case would not be likely, so he must be here for a criminal case!

It looks like Hanxi Province is going to be buzzing…

By now, Old Tang had already carried his briefcase to the window and submitted his application for a retrial.

The staff was equally drawn in by the name Tang Fangjing.

“Lawyer Tang, you came to Hanxi without making a sound?” the staff member said while examining the application.

Old Tang nodded, “There’s a case that I couldn’t overlook, so I came to work on it.”

The staff member immediately closed their mouth, focusing intently on reading the application.

Ten minutes passed, and Old Tang asked, “How is it, comrade? Can the High Court accept it?”

The staff member hesitated, “Lawyer Tang, the defendant in this case did indeed have a conflict with the enforcement officers, and she was the one who started the physical altercation.”

“Objectively, there are indeed cases of obstructing official duties, and it led to severe consequences…”

Old Tang promptly interrupted, “Enforcement officers? Are you sure they were enforcement officers?”

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

“First of all, the judgment states that there were nine people who went to the shop front led by the deputy director of the local sub-district office, including inspectors, administrative workers from the district appearance management office, and staff from the district urban management bureau.”

“Out of these nine individuals, only the staff member from the urban management bureau had an administrative enforcement certificate, but the conflict did not only occur with this staff member.”

“I want to know what exactly does it mean by having a conflict with an enforcement officer?”

Administrative compulsion and enforcement are not something any public servant can do; they must have an administrative enforcement certificate. In the past, this certificate was issued separately by each province, but starting from 2022, basically, all provinces have reissued a nationally unified administrative enforcement certificate.

The staff member immediately replied upon hearing this, “Lawyer Tang, their enforcement indeed had some issues, but…”

Old Tang spoke again, “Let me clarify again, their enforcement didn’t have some issues, there were major issues. It would even pass if only one person had the administrative enforcement certificate.”

“Stepping back, what about the enforcement procedure? Without informing the individual, without producing any identification, they looked once and decided to temporarily seize things at the door. Is this procedure just a little problematic?”

“Stepping back ten thousand steps, on what basis did they decide to temporarily seize those items? According to Article 27 of the ‘Hanxi Province Regulations on Urban Appearance and Environmental Sanitation,’ operators of businesses, food services, and vehicle cleaning and maintenance along streets shall not occupy lanes for business, work, or display of goods outside their shops.”
