27: The key evidence is in place and the trial begins!

Today was a rainy day, and Zhou Yun actually liked rainy days, especially this kind of drizzling rain.

Although midsummer was almost over and Jiangdong Province was about to enter autumn, the weather was still so hot.

The result was that this rain directly turned the entire city into a steamer.

Anyway, Zhou Yun felt uncomfortable as soon as he got out of the car and quickly ran into the Railway Transportation Court.

Since the case had been filed, many things had to be done, such as applying to the Railway Transportation Court to retrieve the demolition dispute ruling that the Dashan County Housing Expropriation Office had made at that time!

The ruling he submitted when he filed the case was made by the Dashan County Court; these two things looked very similar, but they were actually different.

Many people may not have seen a demolition ruling, taking Jinghai City as an example.

For instance, if Jinghai City made a ruling in 2020, its format would be like this: Jing Chai Cai Zi (2020) No. 15 Demolition Dispute Ruling.

The situations in different provinces vary, but the meaning is roughly the same.

This document is one of the most important pieces of evidence.

Although administrative litigation has the principle of reversal of the burden of proof, which means that as long as a certain administrative act is sued as illegal, the administrative agency must prove that its act is not illegal, otherwise it is illegal.

The regulation is good, but reality is cruel; you cannot sue for a certain administrative act being illegal out of nowhere; without evidence, the other party doesn't even need to prove itself, and you will be directly dismissed.

Therefore, key evidence must be present.

The second piece of key evidence was the Bank statement of Sun Jianshe during the demolition period, which Zhou Yun had previously obtained.

Bank statements are the most direct evidence of whether the demolition compensation was in place, and they clearly show that the compensation was only in place after Sun Weitao was imprisoned.

At that time, Sun Jianshe's house had already been demolished for almost two months.

So this is a very typical case of demolition first and compensation later, with clear procedural errors!

These two key pieces of evidence, plus the Court's ruling, are already sufficient; the rest is to watch the show and see how the Dashan County Expropriation Office proves its innocence.

It was still that window; after taking a number, Zhou Yun submitted the investigation application to the window.

He was not worried that the Expropriation Office would not have it; if the Court went to retrieve it and they didn't have it, that would be even better!

What does that indicate? It indicates that the other party didn't even complete the internal procedures and directly began forced demolition without even making the most crucial ruling!

What is this? This is an extremely serious manifestation of disorganization and indiscipline!

The state has repeatedly emphasized that forced demolition must strictly adhere to procedures, yet you carry out forced demolition without even this procedure?

Moreover, without this procedure, how did the Court's ruling come about? Why don't you two fight first to see who has the problem?

So by this point, Zhou Yun was really not worried.

The staff inside recognized Zhou Yun; it was truly because Lawyer Zhou was a bit too bold, directly threatening people in the hall.

This was the first time in so many years they had encountered such a reckless Lawyer.

To put it simply, you're not the party involved, why are you so anxious…

As the saying goes, one punch thrown prevents a hundred from coming; Zhou Yun's previous “crazy” actions did have some benefits, at least now, the staff's attitude was quite good.

After submitting the application, Zhou Yun prepared to return to Jinghai; the trial would probably take some time.

Mainly, the backend had recently accumulated some cases, and he had to go back and deal with them; everything that could be done had been done.

The system's task was also a bit frustrating; only one could be done at a time.

Time slowly passed, and Zhou Yun was still very busy in Jinghai; although his videos were no longer popular, many people still participated in his daily live streams.

Although he still hadn't connected with the other two founders of the law firm, Zhou Yun knew very well that as long as he could create enough profit, any law firm director was just a fleeting cloud.

Now it was not easy for him to change firms, given his previous reputation.

But if he achieved success in the industry, then other law firms would come to poach him.

Finally, Zhou Yun was preparing to go to Ning City again, because a subpoena had been issued there, and this case was finally going to trial!

Counting the time, the efficiency was actually quite good.

As a result, not long after Zhou Yun got in the car, he scrolled upon a report.

“In recent years, lawyer live streams have become increasingly common and competitive, which has led some lawyers to specifically hire people to fabricate special cases for consultations in order to gain more traffic and attract more attention!”

That's right, many lawyer live stream rooms now have instances of “fake consultations”!

Many viewers are curious why some lawyer live stream rooms have so many bizarre case consultants; occasionally one is fine, but then there's one bizarre case after another.

As a result, reporters specifically investigated and found that it has now developed to the point of “writing scripts and finding performers.”

Most of the “scripts” focus on topics such as rape, organizing prostitution, operating casinos, and hit-and-run accidents, generally embellishing real-life cases.

Some are even written by the Lawyers themselves, with the performers asking questions and consulting according to the script.

Looking at the trending topics, there were even examples, such as a certain Lawyer who once wrote a script about rape, having the performer act as the rapist, which had a great show effect, but then the audience complained about the performer, leading to the account being blocked…

In addition, some performers even revealed some unwritten rules during interviews, such as not being able to mention specific place names, and not going too far, otherwise, if it gets too popular, it's easy to be targeted by the Public Security Bureau.

Originally, this kind of report was just for entertainment, but when Zhou Yun looked at the comment section, he found that his name also appeared!

“Hey, I'm really curious now, that Zhou Yun who suddenly appeared recently, everyone says he's amazing and his consultations are particularly good, so is he real or not?”

This comment attracted a lot of attention, mainly because Zhou Yun's current live stream effect was indeed too good.

Whether telling jokes or seriously doing consultations, he was first-rate.

Looking at these doubts, Zhou Yun was also a bit helpless, but to succeed on the internet, one must have a heart of steel.

No rush, let them doubt first; when this case is done, he will edit together the screen recordings from the previous consultations and let them see that Zhou Yun plays it real!

Time flew by, and it was the next day; Zhou Yun arrived at the Court entrance with his bag, waited for a while, and Sun Chenhui also arrived.

Unlike the calm Zhou Yun, Sun Chenhui's face was now filled with nervousness.

After all, this case was too crucial for him!

Zhou Yun didn't say anything about this, because no matter what he said, the other party would still be nervous.

The two of them entered the courtroom, and as soon as they walked in, they saw four people already sitting in the defendant's seats.

Immediately, both sides locked eyes.

Zhou Yun still didn't speak and led Sun Chenhui to the plaintiff's seats.

Among the four people in the defendant's seats, the leader was none other than Chai Yaoyang, the director of the Dashan County Housing Expropriation Office!

Lao Mingcheng sat beside him, and besides them, there were two Lawyers in suits.

That's right, Chai Yaoyang personally came for this administrative litigation!

Although the Supreme Peoples Court has always promoted administrative agency leaders to appear in Court to respond to lawsuits, and the Administrative Litigation Law also stipulates that relevant leaders should appear in Court to respond.

However, under normal circumstances, it's usually deputies who come, and some simply send anyone.

Some units even falsify, sending an employee and claiming they are the director or something, only to be exposed on the spot… One can only say that when the bird is big, any kind of forest exists.

So Chai Yaoyang didn't actually need to come, but he was worried about this lawsuit, so he came personally.

At this moment, looking at Zhou Yun and the other person opposite him, Chai Yaoyang was expressionless; he only had one thought in his mind: this Lawyer looks a bit too young!

Just as he was thinking, the courtroom door was pushed open again, and the Presiding Judge walked in with two jurors.

The trial officially began!
