No. 2 Court of the Anxi District Court of the Kingdom.
Judge Zhao Junyu is in his early thirties, elegant and extremely calm.
The fierce battle is between attorneys representing more than a dozen taxpayer plaintiffs and defendant attorneys representing City Hall.
The plaintiff’s legal team is from Xinjing, but the legal team representing the Anxi City Hall is a Western lawyer from Donghai, hired at a high price by the Red Law Firm.
The lead defender on behalf of the plaintiff is barrister Tie Xiaojia, the boss and pillar of Xinjing Hongri Law Firm, who is Lu Ming’s second disciple.
Lu Ming’s three disciples were Tie Xiaojia, Tong Xiao’e, and Chen Qinghua, including Huang Guirong and Cui Xiaodong who were later accepted as disciples.
Tie Xiaojia likes freedom the most, so he is still running the office.
Tong Xiao’e is currently a judge of the Kingdom District Court in Zhenjiang Autonomous Territory, Chen Qinghua is the director of the Third Division of the Public Crime Prosecution Department of the Kingdom’s Grand Procuratorate, Huang Guirong is the second justice of the Shengjing District Court of the Kingdom, and Cui Xiaodong works at the Legal Affairs Commission of the Beining Autonomous Territory .
The person who started a heated argument with Tie Xiaojia was Horford, a barrister from Red Law Firm.
The Bar Association of the New Empire has promoted the long-overdue reform of lawyer level certification. Today, the lawyers in the Empire are only divided into junior lawyers, solicitors, barristers and royal counsels.
Among them, junior lawyers, solicitors and barristers can be audited and certified by the bar association of each federation. Royal barristers need to be nominated by Emperor William V and certified by the Imperial Bar Association.
Although Tie Xiaojia is young, he has fought too many high-profile lawsuits and was certified as a barrister by the Xinjing Lawyers Association.
The focus of her current dispute with Horford is whether the “Civil Service Streamlining Act” signed by His Majesty the King of Han Dynasty when he was the Prince of Montenegro is considered a superior law of the Dominion Act.
Tie Xiaojia was at a disadvantage in arguing this point, because Horford had no respect for His Majesty the King of Han and spoke unscrupulously.
When it comes to Master, Tie Xiaojia is extremely cautious in his language and suffers a bit in terms of verbal expression.
Lu Ming was sitting in the back row of the auditorium and did not notify Xiaojia of his arrival. He was wearing big sunglasses. Even though he had to take off his hat in the courtroom, no one recognized him.
Sitting next to Lu Ming, she is wearing a gray cashmere skirt and long snow-white cotton stockings wrapped around her slender legs. She is a very elegant and charming young woman with a fragrant and beautiful face. She is the royal daughter of the royal family, and she is over there when Baihai is suppressing bandits. The person presented by the family was once the queen of the puppet king Chen Xingchang.
She actually has some ancestral special ability to charm men, and she has a good way of understanding people’s hearts. She is the deputy director of the Anxi Secrecy Bureau of the Kingdom Security Committee.
It should be said that if the royal ladies from all walks of life gathered together, they would be a very scary force in Anxi.
The female concubine of the Wang family, who has not yet been favored, has been assigned a number by Bai Narcissus to accompany Lu Ming to work, travel for research, etc. Today, she is assigned to Yang Xianrong.
“Your Honor, I request to call a witness, Anxi City Hall Chief Lu Zhengxuan.” After a heated argument with Horford, Tie Xiaojia bowed slightly to the judge’s bench.
Mayor Lu Zhengxuan was originally on the witness list, and Zhao Junyu nodded in agreement.
Soon, Lu Zhengxuan sat on the witness stand. He was a fat man in his fifties with slightly bald hair.
After he took the oath, Tie Xiaojia walked up to him and asked: “Mr. Lu Zhengxuan, do you agree that the Civil Service Streamlining Act is a superior law that must not conflict with Anxi City Hall’s policy laws?”
Lu Zhengxuan was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
“Objection!” Horford stood up immediately, “Although Mr. Lu Zhengxuan is the chief of the city hall, from a legal professional perspective, his answer has no reference.”
Tie Xiaojia said: “However, if Mr. Lu Zhengxuan recognizes the Civil Service Streamlining Act as the superior law, then it is impossible for him to submit the city hall ordinance that is contrary to the superior law to the parliament for a vote. Otherwise, Mr. Lu Zhengxuan It’s a serious dereliction of duty.”
Zhao Junyu nodded slightly: “The witness has to answer this question.”
Lu Zhengxuan did not hesitate and said: “The law promulgated by His Majesty the King is of course the superior law.”
Tie Xiaojia looked at Horford, “I think what we have to discuss now is whether the “City Hall Institutional Reform Act” conflicts with the “Civil Service Streamlining Act.” Of course, if you think that your client Serious dereliction of duty, we can continue to discuss whether the “Streamlining Law” is a superior law to local ordinances.”
Hofford gritted his teeth, “Mr. Lu Zhengxuan can recognize the “Streamlined Law” as the superior law of local laws, but in fact, His Majesty the King of Han issued many temporary laws during his tenure as Prince of Black Mountain. If they are all regarded as local laws, The spirit of the legal system here is worrying. I seriously doubt whether local autonomy is guaranteed!”
Tie Xiaojia smiled slightly: “Mr. Horford, according to the constitution of our kingdom, these laws of His Majesty the King are really superior laws that limit the framework of local regulations. It doesn’t matter whether you understand it or not. These are all facts. Moreover, Horford Sir, I don’t know where you got the courage to question His Majesty the King of Han’s understanding of the nature of law. In fact, we can discuss this in depth in the legal journal. If you can find any temporary decree signed by His Majesty the King of Han, it will not have a positive effect on the Northern Territory. I think you don’t need to stand here and show off, but go to the Imperial Bar Association to express your opinions. Others don’t know it, but you and I, as people in the legal profession, should know that His Majesty the King of Han was awarded the permanent honorary director of the Imperial Bar Association. What does it mean? Even if your master, your master’s master, has anything to do with joining the council, they have never thought about it in their daydreams, right? The laws of our kingdom? Just come here to litigate…”
“Plaintiff’s lawyer, defendant’s lawyer, come forward.” Zhao Junyu interrupted Tie Xiaojia.
Since Tie Xiaojia went off topic a thousand miles away, I have to warn her now that she has said so much, which is more or less taking extra care of her.
Although Tie Xiaojia was warned, Horford’s arrogance suddenly dropped. In fact, the people in the auditorium watching the excitement may not know what Tie Xiaojia was talking about.
As a member of the judicial profession, Horford knew that he had been eliminated so badly that he even returned to his seat and looked at the deputy counsel as if he was laughing at himself.
I always think of the King of the Northern Territory as a traditional dictator, so when I speak fiercely, I forget who he really is.
The next debate is whether the “City Hall Structural Reform Act” is contrary to the “Streamlining Act”.
Horford never wanted to get to this point, because the result would be obvious.
In accordance with the “Streamlining Act”, there are strict regulations for the permanent establishments of various autonomous dominion governments, city halls, county and town agencies, etc., including red lines for public servants and the proportion of population in the service area.
There is nothing Lu Ming can do, but in the Northern Territory, this is the only way it can be done in the early stages.
Although the permanent structure of Anxi’s “City Hall Organization Reform Act” has not changed, it has added many temporary agencies. It is a typical kind of policy with countermeasures, but it was really taken to court and was criticized by a clever lawyer. When people criticized them, those little tricks were completely vulnerable.
Tie Xiaojia even directly criticized the city hall and even violated Article 405 of the Kingdom’s Constitution on local autonomy. It is significantly expanding the boundaries of power. According to its temporary institutional setup, it is using an extremely large number of public servants to enslave taxpayers. City Hall is literally setting up a dictatorship.
The defendant’s representative sent by the city hall was a deputy chief, but Lu Zhengxuan did not leave after giving his testimony. Instead, he sat in the auditorium. At this time, he felt his forehead sweating, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from time to time.
For himself, it is naturally impossible to think about this much. He just feels that the mayor of the city hall has done something a bit aggrieved, and many council members have been confusing him, so he came up with such a law, but he was criticized by the other party’s lawyer. When the top fell down, I felt like stars were popping up in front of my eyes. I knew intuitively that something was wrong. I had made a big mistake and the sky was about to fall.
