Chapter 523: 176 Lao Han: Director Tang you are a bit extreme_4 Chapter 523: 176 Lao Han: Director Tang you are a bit extreme_4 Exiting the courthouse, Old Han followed along, completely at a loss for words.
Now Old Han was entertaining a new thought, wondering if letting Tang Fangjing into this legal storm might have been a mistake…
He had no idea how their director, Wang Daming, had endured thus far.
With a lawyer , the managing partner of the law firm must have aged ten years in a flash…
While at the courthouse, the presiding judge looking over the complaint shook his head and said, “This case is a tough one.”
Originally, the court had made a judgment for enforced demolition, meaning they had reviewed the case and found no issues before carrying out the forced execution.
But now, if they actually ruled in favor of Liu Xuehong, it would imply there were problems with the previous judgment, or at the very least, that certain oversights had occurred.
Alas, he had to explain the situation thoroughly to the administrative tribunal, there was nothing he could do on his own.
When the next day arrived, Xu Genrong looked at the case information on his computer and felt completely overwhelmed.
The judges in Jingnan County were few, and even fewer were capable of handling administrative litigation, so unexpectedly, the case was assigned to him.
But who would initiate such litigation?
The forced demolition had occurred more than half a year ago, what was going on!
After carefully reading through the information on the complaint, Xu Genrong hurried to pull out the previous materials related to the enforced execution judgment, and as he read, his heart began to race.
The initial application for forced execution had indeed included a special account, yet there was no information on the funds.
It was submitted by the expropriation department, and he hadn’t scrutinized the details…
But surely they had prepared the funds, hadn’t they?
After some thought, Xu Genrong still picked up the phone…
Quickly, it was the following day, and Old Tang found out the judge handling the case and immediately filed a motion for recusal.
Don’t they review things in Jingnan County, allowing such an obvious interested party to serve as the presiding judge?
It was just that things hadn’t escalated to a critical point yet, otherwise Old Tang would have even considered filing for the entire court’s recusal.
The recusal was approved and Xu Genrong was replaced by another judge named Xiang Yongjiang who took over the case.
Three days passed in a flash, and inside the Jingnan Expropriation Office, Director Shen Yongxue looked at the court summons in his hand, feeling utterly disconcerted.
It was a headache, a real headache.
So much time had gone by, and now Liu Xuehong was initiating administrative litigation, when her house wasn’t even demolished yet!
The previous attempt at forced demolition hadn’t succeeded and had been dragging on until now, with the office already having found a demolition company prepared to restart negotiations with the property owners.
But now, an unsuccessful demolition attempt from the past had been dredged up.
Even though they knew a lawyer had taken the Liu family’s case previously, seeing it now still caused a headache.
He was well aware of the situation; the funds had indeed not been in place back then, especially since Jingnan’s financial circumstances weren’t great.
The person on the other side was Tang Fangjing, so what was the purpose of the lawsuit?
Even if they confirmed the office’s actions were illegal after all this time, what could it change?
Therefore, Shen Yongxue decided to first inquire about their intentions to see if they were using the lawsuit to demand more money—if so, that wasn’t a problem.
For the sake of Tang Fangjing’s face, they would surely agree to pay more.
There was no choice, really; confirming that their previous administrative actions were illegal would have serious repercussions.
By the afternoon, Old Liu was tidying up at home when his door was knocked.
“Hello Old Liu, we are from the demolition company.
Last time we saw that you didn’t agree with the demolition, so this time we want to discuss it again.
You see, Old Liu, did you file a lawsuit against the expropriation office?”
Old Liu was startled upon hearing this; he was completely unaware of these matters.
He only knew that Lawyer Tang had been busy lately and seemed to be making significant progress.
He hadn’t expected them to actually sue the Expropriation Office.
“Ah, you’ll have to ask that lawyer about that; I don’t know anything…”
The demolition company’s person said with a smile, “Old Liu, this is, after all, your family’s matter.
Isn’t it better if you decide for yourself?
The lawyer has to listen to you, right?”
“And just as mentioned before, if you’re unsatisfied with the compensation, we can still talk.
We can add a bit more, no need to drag this through the court, you know.”
Upon hearing this, Old Liu said directly, “That won’t do, this has nothing to do with the compensation, I don’t know the details, you should just go to that lawyer.”
He really didn’t know, but he was aware of one thing: Lawyer Tang’s actions were aimed at getting his son released.
Compared to his son’s innocence, compensation could wait.
No matter what the demolition company said, Old Liu had only one response, so they had no choice but to leave and planned to ask Lawyer Tang.
Half an hour later, while Old Tang was wandering around Jingnan with Old Han, he received a call.
No special intentions, just to confirm the illegality of the Expropriation Office’s administrative actions.
Retraction is out of the question.
If your administrative actions are found illegal, only then can Liu Xuehong apply for a retrial for the obstruction of justice charge, and then she can be acquitted.
Is that clear enough?”
Lawyer Tang was very direct; there was no need to hide or tiptoe around these things. This content belongs to NoveI-Fire.ɴet
He laid out clearly what the next move would be, leaving no room for them to impede his actions.
Unless you’re planning to perjure yourself…
but anyone with a shred of sense wouldn’t do such a thing.
The demolition company’s staff reported back the situation.
In the office, Shen Yongxue listened to this news and felt a chill run through his body; the administrative lawsuit was for Liu Xuehong’s criminal case!
