Chapter 352: Chapter 243: Court Adjourned! Something’s Off with the Physical Exam!
The words seemed to have been anticipated, making the plaintiff’s face look increasingly grim.
Chai Shiring stared gloomily at Xu Liang for a long time, with four words popping into his mind.
"Moral coercion!"
Yes, it’s moral coercion!
No matter if the group and hospital might go bankrupt after taking on the treatments, as long as you don’t agree... in the eyes of others, it’s not the illness that killed Feng Nan and the others.
But ’Superstar Pharmaceutical’!
Chai Shiring knew public opinion too well; as long as he dared to say no in court...
The overwhelming public opinion would instantly turn against him!
So, should he say yes?
people, the medication alone costs tens of millions; even if the cost is low, not making a profit is a loss when you have a guaranteed market!
How could Han Chengguang possibly pay this money for these sick people?
For a long time.
Chai Shiring took a deep breath, skipping over the surprised and even puzzled gazes from the hearing seats.
He looked at Zhao Jiaqi on the bench and said:
"Honorable presiding judge, what the opposing counsel said, the so-called emergency defense... is based on the matter of ’generic drugs’!"
"Our side still maintains that the drugs smuggled in this case are not generic but outright counterfeit drugs!"
As long as they are counterfeit drugs, it is not self-rescue.
Without considering it as self-rescue, the so-called emergency defense cannot exist!
But that being said.
"Then can we assume that as long as the drugs are generic, this case would meet the criteria for emergency defense?"
Xu Liang suddenly spoke, not giving the judge a chance to inquire.
Seeing that the other party wanted to counter, Xu Liang directly took out two documents from his briefcase.
"These are the academic papers of those involved in the amendment of ’emergency defense’ during the last legal amendment!"
Is this... supporting material?
Everyone was stunned, showing confusion.
Zhao Jiaqi raised an eyebrow. Using literature as supporting material isn’t uncommon, but what Xu Liang took out...
Why isn’t it printed?
Looking at the yellowed paper, Zhao Jiaqi frowned; the next moment...
"It is also the original draft of this academic paper!"
"In other words, Article 21 of the Criminal Code was amended based on this academic document, which also serves as an interpretation of this legal article!"
Xu Liang spoke slowly, his expression calm, as if he had only taken out something insignificant.
The... original draft!?
"Where did the original draft come from!?"
Zhao Jiaqi was stunned, looking at the item held in Xu Liang’s hand, several question marks flashed through his mind.
Is this something an ordinary person can encounter?
Impossible!
Unless...
"Yes, before the trial, I had a thorough discussion with the creator of this academic paper regarding the trial of this case."
Looking at Zhao Jiaqi, Xu Liang spoke lightly:
"The other side believes that, in this case, our client..."
"Fully meets the criteria for emergency defense according to this legal provision!"
The corrector of emergency defense, a person with some authority to interpret the law, actually agrees it meets the criteria for emergency defense!?
In an instant.
The scene gradually grew silent.
Even Chai Shiring and Sha Jin were stunned, staring at that manuscript, dumbfounded again and again.
After a long time, they returned to their senses, suddenly twitching the corners of their eyes, hurriedly speaking:
"Presiding judge, even if it is the corrector of the legal provision, they only have a certain right to interpret the law, not the right to prescribe!"
"Our side believes that the information submitted by the defendant should be dismissed!"
What a joke.
What is a lawsuit?
A lawsuit is about playing a thrilling game of poker with someone else’s printed cards!
Everyone’s cards are different, the order they are in and the strategy against opponents are naturally different too, whether you win or not depends entirely on luck and skill.
But Xu Liang’s maneuver...
This isn’t playing cards.
This is printing cards!!!
When you throw out a three to test, he directly prints out a couple of pounds of trump cards!!!
If the judge really gets swayed by this, how do you even keep fighting the lawsuit?
"What my side is saying is an interpretation!" Xu Liang’s voice became louder, directly drowning out the other party.
He paused slightly, then took out another document.
"This is the original draft interpretation of the revisions to the Public Safety Offenses by the opposing counsel’s submission!"
"Similarly, the other party stated that the plaintiff confuses the concept of Public Safety Offenses!"
Chai Shiring: ?
Chai Shiring was dumbfounded, looking at that brand-new draft, unable to understand why Xu Liang would bother with this.
After a long time, he grimly figured out a strategy, signaling to Sha Jin with his eyes.
Sha Jin immediately understood and stood up, submitting a document while speaking:
"Presiding judge, this is an analysis regarding the production enterprise of the genuine drug ’Imatinib,’ concerning the composition of the smuggled drugs in this case!"
"The pharmaceutical company declares this drug to be completely counterfeit and unrelated to Imatinib!"
After speaking, the clerk checked and found no issue, then submitted the report.
However...
"Superstar Pharmaceutical and the pharmaceutical company have a vested interest; this information should be invalidated and should be reanalyzed by an authoritative third-party institution!"
Xu Liang said coldly.
The pharmaceutical company and Superstar Pharmaceutical are allied; Lanshan Province with its billion population outweighs an overseas national market...
And Han Chengguang is the sole agent; how could the pharmaceutical company go against Han Chengguang!? freeweɓnovel.cøm
Plus the interest dispute and the deaths caused by the uncertain drug... how could the pharmaceutical company admit it’s their own generic drug!?
Investigating themselves? Ridiculous!
"Please, presiding judge, make a wise decision!" Chai Shiring ignored Xu Liang and turned to look at Zhao Jiaqi.
Zhao Jiaqi frowned.
The three judges on the bench exchanged words, seeming to have encountered a problem.
"What’s... the situation?"
