What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 188: Chapter 100 The System is Still Pretty Good_3



After going independent, if you want to consult your mentor again, it all depends on your social tact.

Old Tang is really the best.

On the other side, Miss Xiao Yan's eyes widened. Had Li Wanting already started practicing on her own?

Soon, Old Tang met with the client who had come to have a contract drafted, but the situation was quite complicated, which caused Wan Ting to become flustered.

The contracts turned out unsatisfactory to the client, so they had no choice but to seek outside assistance.

The client thought Old Tang was too young at first, but upon hearing his name was immediately surprised.

"Isn't this the Lawyer Tang who was hit by a car last time? Then there's no problem, I'm definitely confident in a contract drafted by Lawyer Tang."

You must be joking, who doesn't know by now? It's really too difficult to get Lawyer Tang to handle a lawsuit, you basically can't get an appointment unless he's interested in your case.

Originally, to save money, I sought out a very cheap lawyer from Tengda to draft the contract, but now they've called Lawyer Tang here.

This is truly an unexpected pleasure, I can even boast about it over drinks.

After reviewing the contract, Old Tang immediately said, "What on earth have you made of this contract? I remember telling you last time, when drafting a contract, in terms of breach of contract compensation, not to write any vague terms like compensating all losses."

Once he got into the zone, he transformed into a tyrant. The problem was that as a professional lawyer, this young woman's performance in contract matters was unprofessional.

If you're unprofessional, you're going to get criticized.

The young man from the psychiatric department called for the teacher. It was Professor Liu who scolded him while attending to patients...

"Vague clauses will make it difficult to prove your case later, do you understand? You talk about all losses, but how can you define all losses? How can you convince a judge to support your claim?" Old Tang said while revising the contract.

This is a common mistake many legal novices make, thinking that by agreeing to all losses, they can easily win a lawsuit if the other party breaches the contract.

Judges, in fact, would feel uncomfortable seeing such contracts. What does 'all losses' even mean?

Take the simplest example: when someone borrows money from you, how do you write it in the IOU? One side is the agreed date of repayment, and the other is all the losses caused by not repaying?

How do you define those losses, and how can you prove that your losses were caused by the other party's failure to repay?

"So, you have to directly state the liability for breach of contract, got it? Make it specific!" Old Tang said again.

Li Wanting nodded, feeling like she was starting to understand.

Using the IOU example, you just specify directly that if the money is not repaid on time, then the penalty for breach of contract will be a certain amount or percentage.

And another important point: agree that the other party will bear the cost of legal fees, judicial appraisal, and any other litigation expenses, which makes it very clear, doesn't it?

If the other party breaches the contract, you can directly use your expense proofs to claim compensation, simplifying evidence collection and clarifying the case facts, making it easier for the judge to decide.

If the other party doesn't sign... well, what do you think they're planning? Don't they intend to repay the money when they borrow it?

After a thorough lesson, Old Tang walked out feeling refreshed, leaving Wan Ting standing there, stunned. The price for outside support was a bit steep.

Meanwhile, Old Tang went back to his life of eating, sleeping, and educating other lawyers, while in Dongfang City, the special rectification action was finally drawing to a close.

Nearly a hundred intermediary industry workers across the city were arrested and prosecuted!

Just as Bai Chenlin had said before, such malicious acts of withholding workers' wages had become extremely common in the industry.

Moreover, some agencies charged all kinds of diverse fees: registration fees, medical examination fees, position stability money...

If they took your money and found you a job, that would have been one thing, but some took the money and started dragging their feet or disappeared, leaving you unable to locate them.

Consequently, some agencies faced additional charges of fraud.

Why hadn't it been taken care of before? Because, on one hand, the amounts taken were relatively small, and on the other hand, it was difficult for victims to prove the fraud when reporting to the police.

Most people thought, it's just a couple hundred, let it be.

A lot of issues arise when someone decides to take things seriously. Without anyone taking it seriously, truly nobody cares.

The remaining agencies either started to follow regulation and process labor dispatch formalities or strictly engaged in intermediary activities.

After Old Tang's video bombardment, many workers, although still ignorant of the law, understood at least one thing clearly.

That is, as long as you work for someone, you definitely have a labor relationship, and it is not possible to say that you have nothing after all your hard work.

The public prosecution cases spanned a long period and proceeded in stages.

The market regulatory authority ordered many agencies to rectify and imposed fines.

The Tax Department also got involved, though not deeply.

This situation, where money is sent via WeChat, has always existed, and many daily wages are handled this way; the Tax Department is well aware of that.

Many times, for the lower classes, tax matters are actually not that strict. It's just that this time the situation was too severe; they had to make an example by punishing a few to warn the others.

So Bai Chenlin and his group were fortunate; their cases were among the first to be examined and prosecuted.

By this point, Bai Chenlin had no hope left. He was definitely going to prison. He just hoped to preserve his assets.

As long as there's money, even if you come out, you're still Boss Bai. Prison doesn't matter at all.

On the public security side, the work of restitution was also difficult because it involved too many people.
