In the courtroom.
A full four hours had passed between the announcement of the Adjournment and the resumption of the hearing.
The main reason was that the Collegial Panel Members needed to be replaced in accordance with the recusal principle.
The necessary coordination was somewhat troublesome.
The Southern Capital High Court had followed the fastest procedure available, yet only announced the resumption of the hearing four hours later.
This had quite a few viewers watching the trial livestream swearing.
The lawyer had been tearing into the presiding judge and the judges, and everyone was thoroughly enjoying it, yet they had simply announced an Adjournment?
An Adjournment was one thing, but they had even made everyone wait four whole hours before resuming!
Fortunately, at least the hearing had resumed that same day.
After the hearing resumed.
The opening procedures were carried out again.
Seated in the presiding judge's chair, Yu Caixia surveyed the courtroom before looking toward Su Bai at the accusing party's table.
Su Bai had left quite a strong impression on her.
The Nandu Bank Case had given Yu Caixia a certain impression of him as a lawyer.
But impressions were impressions, goodwill was goodwill, the law was the law, and a trial was a trial.
When it came to trials.
Her basis was legal arguments, evidence, and statements.
Nothing else could influence the judgment.
As for personal relationships and social considerations, Yu Caixia was highly principled in court.
This was also the main reason Su Bai had agreed to have Yu Caixia replace the previous Judicial Personnel.
Su Bai raised his head slightly and looked toward the Judges' Bench.
Besides Vice President Yu Caixia, who was serving as presiding judge, the Collegial Panel Members included two other judges: Jin Yufang, a woman, and Wang Chuanjie, a man.
