Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Chapter 80 Exploiting Vulnerabilities

Hobert's defense was wonderful. He effectively avoided his opponent's attacks and blocked all the opponent's escape routes with an unexpected blow.

However, Hobert also knew that the victory of this lawsuit was also due to his opponent being too "cooperative" with him. He had considered this issue yesterday. If Barton was asked to defend the defendant, he would never insist that the IOU had no legal effect. .

Doing so will either lead to an endless debate with the plaintiffs’ lawyers, or allow the plaintiffs’ lawyers, like Hobert, to take advantage of loopholes in the relevant regulations.

This is not what the defendant’s lawyer wants to see.

Of course, this is just a hypothesis, Barton would not be interested in such a small case.

The judge soon issued a ruling, giving the defendant three weeks to repay the loan.

The moment the judge made the verdict, Hobert felt the pleasure of digesting the potion again!

He immediately concluded: This digestion of the magic potion is because I completed the commission? No, completing the commission can only make the spirit more lively. Is it because I took advantage of the rules of the law? wrong!

Hobert suddenly understood: It was a loophole. I took advantage of a loophole in the regulations!

Compared with the previous digestion of potions, Hobert found that the potions digested by exploiting loopholes to win the lawsuit this time were similar to the potions digested by using rules to take actions that were beneficial to him.

Being good at using rules and being good at discovering and exploiting loopholes in rules is the core of being a "lawyer"!

Hobert smiled knowingly and acted according to this code, and he would digest the potion faster than he planned!

Maybe with two or three more cases like this, I can completely digest the magic potion!

After leaving the court, Sean shook hands with Hobert enthusiastically and said, "This is the most exciting debate I have ever seen!"

When he signed the power of attorney with Hobert yesterday, he was still a little worried. He felt that Hobert was too young and a legal assistant. He didn't know if he would be a match for the other party's lawyer.

Seeing the defendant's frustrated look today, Sean felt that the legal fees were well spent.

Arriving at the auditorium, Forsi smiled and said: "When Hugh invited me here, I thought I would see two lawyers arguing word for word over some legal provisions that make people want to fall asleep. .

"I didn't expect you to win so cleanly. Well, this gave me a lot of inspiration. I will come more and listen to your defense in the future. Maybe I can also write a novel in which the protagonist is a lawyer."

Hobert smiled and said: "I will defend the plaintiff here tomorrow. If you are willing to come, you can come and listen, but that defense should be very difficult."

He's going to be here tomorrow defending Bob.

Several people chatted for a while and then left. The defendant had promised to repay the money within this week. Mr. Shawn would pay Hobert's commission fee only after the other party repaid the money.

Hobert did not return to the law office, but took a taxi to the Legal Department and received his lawyer's qualification certificate.

From today on, he is an official lawyer, which gives him the qualifications to defend himself in a formal court.

Of course, the premise is that someone asks him to defend himself. Usually the cases in formal courts are criminal cases or interest disputes between nobles.

As long as they can afford it, they will hire big lawyers to help them litigate.

The most common job of formal lawyers is to help barristers prepare defense materials, and they rarely have the opportunity to go to court.

If a person cannot afford legal fees, he or she will most likely choose not to hire a lawyer, because ordinary lawyers are no match for barristers and will often lose the case even after spending money. It is better to just accept their fate without paying back the money.

Such ideas and current situation limit the opportunities for ordinary lawyers like Hobert to go to court.

However, Hobert believed that a lawyer's license might be needed in Bob's case. Thinking of tomorrow's defense, he actually felt a little uneasy, not knowing whether his plan would succeed.

During dinner, Donna noticed something was wrong with Hobert: "Hobert, you seem to be a little absent-minded."

"I'm thinking about my defense ideas tomorrow." Hobert smiled: "This will be a huge test for me."

"Hahaha, it's good to have pressure!" Kristen smiled: "This shows that you are making progress."

He sighed: "This reminds me of my experience in the Southern Continent. At that time, I was a young man about your age..."

So the table's repertoire "The General's Story in the Southern Continent" began, but as soon as Christine's story began, Donna interrupted rudely: "You guys blew up the enemy's bunker together, right? Father, right?" You have told this story before!...So the two of you captured nine enemies, right? Father, you have also told this story..."

Looking at Christine who was thinking hard, whether he was making up a new story or trying to recall his glorious deeds, Hobert smiled knowingly and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

The next day, Hobert had to come to the Magistrates Court early. To his surprise, Bob came earlier.

He was still leaning on the crutch made of a tree branch. His clothes were in tatters and had several obvious holes, but they had obviously been washed and looked much cleaner than the last time they met. His hair was also trimmed, which made him look much more energetic.

The two smiled at each other and entered the magistrate's court one after another. One sat at the plaintiff's table and the other sat at the plaintiff's lawyer's table.

At this time, Hobert whispered to Bob: "I said before that this case is very difficult. This is not pretentious, but we can easily become enemies of many people, and even the judge will stand against us. "

Bob nodded: "Mr. Lawyer, I know how rare it is for you to sit next to me."

Hobert smiled: "I don't mean to brag, I just hope to gain your complete trust! After the court session, no matter what response I make, you must support me."

"I trust you, Mr. Lawyer." Bob said, "David told me that you accepted their entrustment and helped them recover their losses."

Hobert nodded: "That's good."

After that, they were waiting for the court to start. Several people gradually appeared in the auditorium, including David and Robin, several of Bob's co-workers, and Forsi sitting in the corner.

At nine o'clock sharp, the judge took his seat and the court officially opened.

As the plaintiff’s lawyer, Hobert first elaborated on the fact that Bob was disabled in the defendant’s factory and lost the ability to work.

"We will not default on our debts." The defendant's lawyer smiled and said: "Mr. Arnold is a benevolent rich man. He has paid Mr. Bob's medical expenses in accordance with relevant regulations and will pay Mr. Bob a one-time compensation of 100 pounds."

Hobert said: "This is what I want to say, 100 pounds is simply not enough to sustain Mr. Bob's future life."

"so what?"

"We need at least 1,000 pounds in compensation!"

As soon as these words came out, there were several exclamations.

The defendant's lawyer shook his head: "Plaintiff's lawyer, this is a court, not a circus, and you are not a clown on stage telling lame jokes."
