Chapter 89
Lin Chen left the position of the litigant and walked to the back row and sat down.
He originally sat next to Lu Weiwei, but now he was sitting behind her. Although he was still very close, he changed from a lawsuit party to an audience member.
Lu Weiwei suddenly felt empty around her.
I feel empty too.
I feel so empty.
The judge looked at Lin Chen deeply, "Since the problem has been solved, then we can start now."
The judge lowered his head and read the documents, "The prosecutor of this case, Cheng Ji, asked the defendant to compensate for the losses caused by the cancellation of the exhibition. The initial compensation was 7.5 million yuan... The defendant refused to pay. Now both parties explain their reasons."
China adopts the mainland legal system.
Unlike the Anglo-American legal system, in the civil law system, litigation procedures focus on judges and have the characteristics of a dispute procedure. This means that the judge will dominate the rhythm of the entire trial.
The judge pointed at Lu Weiwei: "Start with the litigation party first."
Lu Weiwei's heart skipped a beat.
It’s no exaggeration to say that my mind is really blank and I can’t even remember a word of draft!
"Do you need me to hug you?"
Behind him, Lin Chen's voice came over, and Lu Weiwei blushed immediately!
That will only make you more nervous!
"We, Cheng...Mr. Cheng Ji..." Lu Weiwei racked her brains.
What should I say?
I have made enough preparations and my innate draft is right next to my mouth, why can't I remember it?
The deer was slightly anxious.
However, the more anxious you are, the more panicked you are
Everyone was watching her.
Before I knew it, my palms were already wet... What should I do? What should I do?
My body suddenly became warm.
She was hugged from behind...
Lu Weiwei: "..."
Judge:"……"
The other party’s lawyer: “…”
And everyone present: "…"
Lin Chen hugged Lu Weiwei for a few seconds, then let go, and said as if nothing had happened: "Okay, now we can start."
"Cough, cough." The old judge coughed twice, "That... if the defense lawyer is unwell, he can apply for an adjournment."
"No, no need to go on the court." Lu Weiwei's face turned red, "My client... Mr. Cheng Ji negotiated with the defendant to hold an art exhibition at the beginning of this year and signed a relevant contract. However, the defendant canceled the art exhibition without my party's permission, causing huge losses to my party. I beg the judge to rule on the defendant to pay compensation for breach of contract."
call……
Finally straightened out...
The judge looked at the defendant's lawyer, "Does the defendant have any objections to the litigation party's statement?"
The lawyer replied: "Judge, the statement is basically true. We have no objection, but there are two points that need to be added-
First, we are willing to pay 250,000 yuan to make up for Mr. Cheng Ji's losses, but we were rejected by the other party.
The second point is that the reason why the exhibition was cancelled was because Mr. Cheng Ji violated the contract and infringed on our interests. Our willingness to pay compensation has already made a concession.
I hope the judge will make a ruling based on the above facts.”
Lu Weiwei hurriedly said: "Judge, Mr. Cheng Ji is a young and promising new artist in China. He has won the Contemporary Art Award. His works have been exhibited in Manchester Art Center, M Visual Culture Museum, OCT Contemporary Art Center and other institutions in the United Kingdom.
Among them, the work "Daughter of Light" was sold at a sky-high price of 16 million at the auction! The other party paid 250,000 yuan as compensation, which was really unacceptable!"
"We do not deny the artistic value of Mr. Cheng Ji's works, but the value is determined by the market. We cannot be determined by the price of a painting, all Mr. Cheng Ji's paintings start at a price of tens of millions."
