Chapter 279 Jiang Bai sat on the Regret Chair for the first time(2/3)
"No, I'm willing to lose money, what else do you want?" Liu Anming frowned.
"I said, publicly apologize! This is essential!"
Jiang Bai has a tough attitude.
Liu Anming cursed secretly in his heart and frowned: "How about I pay you double compensation?"
"No, we must apologize publicly!"
"Oh no, you must be sick, I'm all..."
Seeing that Liu Anming was getting excited, the judge knocked the gavel and said in a deep voice: "Defendant, please pay attention to court discipline!"
Under the judge's warning, Liu Anming shut up in anger.
The judge was even more confused at this time.
He has been working as a judge in a civil court for several years. Including his previous days as a clerk, the total length of time is more than ten years. He has seen countless cases and all kinds of parties.
But this is the first time I have seen a case like today's.
The defendant is willing to pay compensation or even double the compensation, while the plaintiff would rather not pay or let the defendant publicly apologize.
This is just like, the seller is crazy about discounts, and the buyer refuses to accept the discount, and even wants to add money to buy...
It's really weird.
The judge looked around and said in a deep voice: "Since the two parties cannot reach a consensus on mediation, the trial will now officially begin. The plaintiff is invited to read out the complaint and state the cause of the case."
Luo Dazhuang stood up and read out the indictment.
First, the cause of the case was stated, pointing out the defendant's infringement, and then the lawsuit was requested: compensation including a refund of one and three, medical expenses and transportation expenses totaling .5 yuan, and a public apology lasting three days.
Liu Anming still wanted to fight to the death and expressed his opposition.
Upon seeing this, the judge announced the start of evidence and cross-examination and court investigation.
Luo Dazhuang was the first to present evidence: the contract signed by Jiang's father and mother Jiang and the travel agency, the invoice and identification certificate of the fake jade, the video taken by the seafood restaurant, the verdict of the relevant personnel, etc.
These forensic evidences form an extremely complete chain of evidence, which is enough to prove that the defendant committed fraud when providing services, causing losses to consumers, and should refund one and compensate three in accordance with the consumer's requirements.
In addition, according to the provisions of the Consumer Rights Protection Law on liability for personal injury, the defendant should also compensate Jiang’s father and Jiang’s mother for their personal injuries during the trip.
"Defendant, do you have any objections to this evidence?" the judge looked at the defendant's seat and asked.
Liu Anming was stunned.
Even if he has not studied law systematically, he can still see that the evidence is so consistent that there is no room for refutation.
But it’s no good if you don’t argue. You can’t just sit back and wait for death.
"I...I have objections!"
Liu Anming bit the bullet and said: "I can give you this compensation. After all, no matter what, the others signed up for the tour through our travel agency. Now they have been wronged, and we have no choice but to shoulder the responsibility."
"But this public apology is really unnecessary."
"Wouldn't it be more practical for me to pay the money directly? Moreover, I can apologize in private, offer tea and bow, etc., and I will definitely have a correct attitude."
"As long as you don't ask me to apologize publicly, everything else is easy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Bai said: "Then I can also tell you that you must apologize publicly! As long as you apologize, everything else is easy!"
Yes, I froze again.
One is to do anything but apologize.
One is that there is nothing but an apology.
Liu Anming glared at Jiang Bai and shouted: "Jiang Bai! Why do you have to target our travel agency? Why did I offend you? You want compensation, okay, I will compensate you, I can even double it to you, why do you insist on it?"
What about a public apology?”
Jiang Bai said calmly: "I ask for a public apology because I want to prevent more people from suffering losses!"
"I think you are well aware of how many tricks there are in the low-priced tours launched by your travel agency."
"My parents are just a microcosm of countless victims. There are many more people who have suffered losses. They have no way to defend their rights and can only endure in silence."
"The reason why I ask you to publicly apologize is to remind other tourists to keep their eyes open and not to be fooled!"
"You!" Liu Anming was so angry that his face twisted.
Isn't this going to ruin his job?
As the old saying goes, killing someone's wealth is like killing their parents.
At this moment, Liu Anming definitely hated Jiang Bai to his core.
But who can blame it?
After all, this is called reaping the consequences.
Liu Anming was very angry, but he had nothing to say.
At this moment, the judge also understood why the plaintiff and defendant in this case behaved in such an abnormal manner.
It turns out that there are so many things behind the case.
"Judge, I think the plaintiff's request is very unreasonable!"
Liu Anming said loudly: "We, Geyun, are just a small travel agency, and we cannot compare with those well-known big travel agencies. We have no brand and no reputation, so we can only attract tourists through price."
"As for the poor service quality or anything like that from the local travel agency, to put it bluntly, that is the responsibility of the local travel agency."
"I don't think this can all be blamed on me, right?"
Liu Anming felt aggrieved, "It's not easy for our travel agency. In the current market environment, everyone is doing this. If we don't do this, we will go bankrupt tomorrow."
Jiang Bai stared at Liu Anming with cold eyes: "Mr. Lu Xun has a saying that is right, it has always been like this, right?"
"This is obviously a symptom of the industry's pathology. Why do you take it for granted?"
“Every penny you make, someone is losing money behind it!”
"You have become rich and powerful, but what about the tourists who were deceived by you? Who will pay for their losses!"
These words were resounding and echoed in the huge courtroom.
Liu Anming yelled with a pale face: "Don't hold yourself up morally. As the old saying goes, if you are poor, you can only take care of yourself. It's good if I can take care of myself. I'm not a saint. Why do you ask me to think about other people? Also!
, since you are so caring about the world, then why are you just staring at me? So many travel agencies do this, why don’t you target them!"
He was a little angry and felt that Jiang Bai was like a mad dog, biting him and not letting go.
"No, you are wrong. I don't have the world in mind. I don't have the ability or the interest."
Jiang Bai slowly shook his head and said:
"You said I only keep an eye on you and don't target other travel agencies. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"My parents signed a contract with your Geyun Travel Agency and were deceived. It has nothing to do with other travel agencies. Why should I target other travel agencies without any problems?"
"If you leave your travel agency honestly and honestly, don't use those crooked ideas, make money cleanly, and live an innocent life, who will cause trouble for you? Who can cause trouble for you?"
Jiang Bai's words were righteous and strict, and his voice was loud and clear.
"You are also wrong. This is not moral kidnapping. I am using legal weapons!"
"Since you broke the law, you should pay the price!"
These words left Liu Anming speechless.
Standing on the defendant's seat, he gasped for air, clenched his fists, and wanted to refute, but could not find a suitable reason.
I was so depressed that my face turned red.
At this moment, Luo Dazhuang spoke: "According to the provisions of the Consumer Rights Protection Law..."
If Jiang Bai's statement put Liu Anming at a complete disadvantage, then Luo Dazhuang's discernment was like adding insult to injury and completely knocked him into the abyss.
Jiang Bai and Luo Dazhuang, one from a moral perspective and the other from a legal perspective, completely shocked Liu Anming and left him speechless.
"No, you can't do this..."
"That's not what you said..."
"At least we didn't..."
Anyway, he was hemming and hawing and couldn't even say a complete sentence.
Later on, they were even talking back and forth.
Even the judge couldn't stand it anymore and banged the gavel, ending Liu Anming's suffering.
Let both parties make their final presentations.
Jiang Bai stood up and simply expressed his true thoughts, hoping that the judge could support his appeal in accordance with the law.
Anyway, everything that needs to be said has been said, and there is no need to make too many redundant statements at this stage.
Followed by Liu Anming.
Compared with the calm and calm Jiang Bai, he was like a drowning man, panicking and struggling crazily, trying to grab a life-saving straw.
