Chapter 487: Law without prohibition is permitted! (Seeking monthly votes)

~15 min read 2,868 words

After finishing the entire news report, Professor Tong did not want to say a single word.

Not to mention that he had lost a lawsuit earlier and was almost mocked to tears; after the video appeared, Professor Tong actually felt a little like laughing inside.

He even thought about posting another article to mock them, thinking, "Look, didn't you want to be serious? Go ahead and be serious then!"

What can you do? It's nothing more than filing a lawsuit, but they don't mind you filing a lawsuit; they aren't afraid at all.

As a result, before he could even start mocking them, the other side did something so big...

At this moment, Professor Tong really felt that the bald man was so lucky to have encountered such a sucker, that he could actually pull out money for something like this.

Could it be that he has some serious illness, or is he just burning through too much money?

It's just that this time he didn't write anything, because Professor Tong knew that peers are always rivals; sometimes seeing you do well makes one grind their teeth in frustration.

In the eyes of these academics, such Litigation is meaningless and a huge waste of judicial resources.

So this time he didn't show his face, but others stood up to refute it.

Inside those other television Manufacturer Companies, bursts of wailing erupted directly.

What do you call an accident? We were eating hot pot and singing songs, and then halfway through, we got hit by that bald man!

Although everyone was also named as a Defendant, by comparison, there was no public opinion at all; when the time comes, we'll just deal with the lawsuit casually, if we lose, we lose, and we'll pay whatever we have to pay.

But now, that A Yi isn't just targeting Haili!

He targeted everyone who had a Boot Advertisement...

This directly shut many people's mouths. Look, under these circumstances, you can't still say that A Yi only dares to target small companies, even though Haili's scale is actually quite large.

Not to mention the system's tasks, at the very least, if you want to be serious, you have to be serious to the end.

Moreover, I don't know if that guy A Yi did it on purpose or what, but the number of people signed up in that link is visible to everyone!

And so, everyone watched helplessly as the number of sign-ups broke ten thousand in just a few short hours...

And this is still under the condition that the registration form is very cumbersome to fill out.

If this really continues, who knows to what extent it will go!

So under these circumstances, some experts stood up and spoke.

"By doing this, I only see a rich man using his money to carry out an emotional counterattack. What is the point of him doing this? Besides wasting judicial resources."

"Moreover, isn't inciting everyone to engage in Litigation like this an illegal and criminal act? I request the relevant departments to investigate A Yi; what he is doing is definitely problematic!"

Once such remarks came out, they were quickly supported by everyone.

"I don't know what law was broken, but it just feels wrong. If everyone were like A Yi, wouldn't society be in chaos? The company just put up an advertisement, do they deserve to die?"

"When the company can't survive, can ordinary people be spared?"

"+1, seeing those people chasing after A Yi so much, I really feel like I'm not in the same world as them. This so-called being serious has no meaning. Even if the boss of Haili talked big, isn't it enough that the other side apologized? What is the benefit of bringing down an enterprise? I even feel like A Yi is a bit like a fifty-cent army!"

These remarks are all normal; on the internet, there are all kinds of people and all kinds of remarks.

However, the core of these remarks is the same, which is to ask the relevant departments: isn't there a problem with A Yi doing this?

Isn't it illegal and criminal?

Especially some experts, who focused the problem on Fang Dazhuang, asking him, as a Lawyer, why he would knowingly break the law and do this on purpose, and what his intentions are.

You don't say, after some back and forth, some people also became suspicious: is it illegal to pay to help everyone file a Lawsuit together?

In Jingzhou, inside the law firm, Zhou Yi explained the general situation and then said:

"So Fang Dazhuang, do you think we need to respond? Many people are now tagging the relevant departments, and some are even calling the Police Station directly. We received a call from the Guangming Road Police Station asking us to explain it, which would be better."

There is no other way; stability is the top priority. It's just that this matter is all on the internet, and even if there is a real Lawsuit, the Internet Court has borne everything, so the relevant departments are only paying attention.

As for Jingzhou, Fang Dazhuang had reported to the judicial department before starting. Perhaps because the legal work in Jingzhou has been done quite well in the last two years, the relevant departments in Jingzhou are also a bit daring to be the first.

They investigated Fang Dazhuang's report and finally chose to agree.

But the premise is that the number of people cannot exceed a standard; after all, if there are really too many, it will indeed affect stable development.

As for the Police Station, it is because the recent public opinion is too scary, and everyone is asking them for a result, so they wanted Zhou Yi to come forward and explain.

Fang Dazhuang raised his head. Zhou Yi was just about to listen, but unexpectedly, the other party opened a notebook and tore off a piece of paper.

"Just send this article out."

Zhou Yi: "???"

He is now a bit like Zhao Zilong opening the silk bag of Master Wolong in Eastern Wu...

There is such an operation?

Before coming, he thought Fang Dazhuang would at least write an explanation on the spot, but it turned out he didn't have one at all and just took it out like that!

Taking that piece of paper and looking at it, it was not a very long article, and the title was: Law without prohibition is permitted!

Although he hadn't read the content below yet, Zhou Yi suddenly understood as if he had been enlightened; the logic is indeed that logic!

As mentioned before, in terms of Criminal Law, there is no crime without a clear provision in the law; if there is no clear provision that you have committed a crime, then it should not be regarded as a crime.

And in civil matters, it is Law without prohibition is permitted.

The law does not prohibit you from doing this, so you can do it without being considered illegal; it's that simple. These two sentences can be said to be one of the cores of Written Law.

Because the law is meant for people to see, to let people know what can be done and what cannot be done.

And likewise, for public power, there is another sentence: Law without authorization is prohibited.

Looking further down, it is still Fang Dazhuang's style. He used very plain descriptions to explain that in all the laws, there is no provision saying that someone cannot pay to help others file a Lawsuit.

So under these circumstances, this behavior can be done and cannot be regarded as illegal; it's that simple.

What Fang Dazhuang said is all plain language; even people who don't understand the law can understand it instantly. It is indeed that kind of logic.

Zhou Yi was still standing there, and Fang Dazhuang finally raised his head: "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

"Ah? Oh, I'm leaving right away..."

This bald man has no humanity once he starts getting busy with his own affairs...

Zhou Yi posted Fang Dazhuang's article on the internet, using his own account, but the signature was Fang Dazhuang.

Of course, when it was posted, it was accompanied by the Civil Code, the Lawyer Law, and searches of multiple other laws, precisely to let everyone understand that the law does not prohibit this kind of behavior.

Very quickly, the article was seen by many people.

Some who had previously felt a bit confused now understood; all that talk about wasting judicial resources and being illegal—it seemed those people had talked for a long time without ever saying specifically what was illegal.

This is also a common problem on the internet nowadays.

When they encounter something, they jump out and say, "This is illegal," but if you ask them specifically where it is illegal, what laws are involved, or which articles, then they will hit you with a line like, "Am I your dad? Can't you look it up yourself? You can find it with a casual search."

And then you go: "???"

As a result, now, a big shot has clearly and plainly said: it is not illegal!

Well then, if you want to refute it, you have to bring out some solid evidence; exactly which law stipulates that this cannot be done?

Those who were previously stirring up trouble are now silent, or they are just spouting nonsense there—anyway, the other party is illegal, and as for why it is illegal, you go look it up yourselves; do I have to explain everything?

Or it's just... those who know, know; for those who don't, I don't need to explain.

Alright, it's not illegal, and one can participate; although for the final compensation, according to the contract, A Yi will take half, but that doesn't matter!

This money is essentially free, and A Yi has always operated this way in the past; helping others with lawsuits and taking half in the end—everyone has seen this many times in the videos.

It's just that this time, there are a few more people.

Some people even said directly: even if we don't want the compensation, we still want to participate!

Imperial Capital, Modu, Luzhou, Lincheng, and other places—there are people signing up from all over the country; after all, by comparison, there are more Smart TVs with Boot Advertisements.

Because the price is cheap, it's that simple.

And some people also said: if you guys are so serious about going after A Yi, then after this is over, there won't be such cheap TVs anymore.

In other words, the advertisers have paid for part of your TV, so you should actually be grateful.

Now, making a scene with A Yi is unfair to those who don't want to be so serious!

Zhou Yi naturally noticed these remarks; these words were already there last time when he was serious about the courier company.

Saying that if you keep being this serious, the courier companies will raise their shipping fees, and then let's see what you do.

Regarding this, Zhou Mouren's thought is... how much a courier costs, how much a TV sells for—isn't this a market behavior?

All companies agreed to raise prices together? No, no, no, capital seeks profit.

When someone discovers that small profits but quick turnover can actually make more money, then guess whether they will continue to maintain high prices or lower them.

The mobile phone industry was once given a good lesson by the low prices of Dami...

There is no need to worry about these issues; over at Tengda, Chu Lan called to say the number of people who have registered has exceeded thirty thousand.

Compared to the heat, this number is certainly not normal, but in fact, the heat on the internet is all because everyone is venting their emotions.

Once they really start filling out the forms and see all the things required for cooperation, providing information, etc., some people who don't like trouble start to back out.

It doesn't matter if you just talk on the internet, but if you really participate, you need to invest your own time and energy, and then they don't really want to anymore.

Not to mention that there are actually requirements here; it's not like you can win a Lawsuit with just anything—the necessary things must be there.

But even with the current number, it is estimated that the Beijing Internet Court is going to have a hard time...

However, there shouldn't be any big problems; this kind of Collective Litigation is basically based on previous rulings.

Sigh, it's a pity I can't do anything, otherwise Zhou Yi would want to buy two jin of eggs to see the judges.

At the Guangming District Court, Li Xusheng and these judges almost laughed out loud looking at the news on the internet.

They couldn't even imagine what it would be like if so many lawsuits suddenly flooded into the Guangming District Court; even if the rulings could be standardized, the workload would be too great.

You could work overtime until you go bald!

Let's observe a moment of silence for the colleagues at the Beijing Internet Court, hahaha...

No, no one is laughing; everyone just feels sympathy, really.

At the Beijing Internet Court, the judges are already stunned.

"How many people are there now?" a judge with slightly lush hair asked.

Someone next to him replied: "Over thirty thousand; the growth rate is not as fast as before, but it should still rise..."

The judge with lush hair shook his head and said: "Ask the higher-ups for support; let those guys sitting in the offices come and help. If we rely on ourselves, we'll be at this until the year of the monkey!"

"Also, see if we can find some Interns..."

Yes, that's right; when encountering a need for a large amount of repetitive work, whether it's a Court or a law firm, the first thing they think of is college students, because college students are easy to use!

Give them a little subsidy, provide three meals a day, and they will work like crazy!

These days, you might not be able to find migrant workers for the same money, but you can definitely find college students.

If nothing else, the Imperial Capital just has a lot of college students...

Don't look at it as if it will be tiring; let me tell you, for an opportunity like this, other college students wouldn't even have a way in if they wanted to!

Everyone is preparing intensively, the information of the registered personnel is being constantly collected, and at the same time, for the confirmed Plaintiffs, the Lawyer is taking the Interns to start collecting materials.

At this moment, one is truly grateful that the internet is omnipotent; there is no need to run to the provinces where those Plaintiffs are located, just tell the other party the method to fix the evidence and let them operate it.

In Lincheng, Guan Yan arrived at the Notarization office; there are two very important video pieces of evidence among the evidence that need to be notarized.

You can film it yourself, saying that there will be advertisements when it boots up; such evidence is also possible, but the probative force is ultimately not as good as video evidence notarized by a Notarization office.

The Notarization Fee is naturally borne by Zhou Mouren, and this can be considered the largest expense.

The Lawyer Fee is actually fine; for such Collective Litigation, the Lawyer Fee can be kept to a very low level.

These past few days, Notarization offices everywhere have been very busy.

Not long after, the evidence for the first batch of one thousand people was fixed, and Fang Dazhuang submitted it to the Beijing Internet Court.

The second batch of three thousand people is in preparation...

There are many people, so they certainly cannot come all at once; it must be divided into several batches.

The news of filing the Lawsuit naturally appeared on the internet because those Plaintiffs were all in the know.

Inside Hai Li Company, Ma Peng has already smashed his third water cup.

I originally thought that even if A Yi was being serious, he would at most get a few hundred people to scare them, but damn, this batch is already one thousand people, and more are coming in a steady stream; he is really playing for keeps!

They were still hoping the relevant departments would step in, but there hasn't been a peep; a single lawsuit is fine, but when thousands upon thousands of people sue all at once, that scene is something any Company would fear!

This won't do, it absolutely cannot go on like this; Ma Peng communicated with the leaders of several other television Manufacturers and contacted A Yi to ask what exactly he wants to do; this is no longer a case of "killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own," this is losing a million of your own to kill a thousand enemies...

In Jingzhou, inside Tengda Company, Zhou Yi picked up the phone.

"You can agree to any demand?"
