The mediation was over, more or less...
Su Bai left the court with Zhang Dahu.
On the way.
Zhang Dahu asked worriedly, "Lawyer Su... we just offended the court staff like that..."
"Will that cause problems when the trial starts...?"
Su Bai smiled. "Don't worry... there won't be any problems with this case."
This case.
Simply put, there was no way there could be a problem.
Never mind a mediator...
Even during a trial, if the members of the Collegial Panel made a ruling without a factual basis, he still had to fight it with reason!
What if he couldn't win that argument?
That was simple. He would request a procuratorial review afterward, and that would settle it.
This is only the first instance, and you're ruling against me without evidence.
Even if I lose in court, I can still appeal.
And while I'm at it, sending the presiding judge to prison during the second instance shouldn't be much of a problem, right?
Basically, there was no problem.
Su Bai was already very practiced at this sort of thing. He had sent several judges and personnel from other departments to prison.
He could be said to know the ropes.
Seeing that Zhang Dahu still looked worried, Su Bai knew what was on his mind...
First, the compensation really was a considerable sum. Four hundred thousand yuan was a lot for an ordinary family.
For an ordinary family's breadwinner, even assuming an above-average monthly income of ten thousand yuan, saving four hundred thousand would take at least four years of scrimping and saving.
And that was only achievable under extremely ideal circumstances.
There was also the second point... being extorted after doing a good deed. If he really was ordered to pay compensation...
Leaving the money aside, there would be gossip
