Chapter 459: The first-instance ruling was in-what do you mean? Appeal, appeal!
The presiding judge already leaned toward one side in Liu Wenya's case.
There would basically be no major surprises in the ruling.
Could they ultimately win?
They would certainly win.
But they would only receive some compensation. The court would very likely refuse to uphold their other claims.
And... more importantly, the defendant was unwilling to pay over 120,000 yuan in compensation.
She had only offered 5,000 yuan.
The presiding judge had not given any explicit instructions and had even asked the plaintiff to explain the grounds for claiming 120,000 yuan.
What did that indicate?
It indicated that the presiding judge's inclination was obvious.
On the amount of compensation, he also leaned toward the defendant.
Having worked through that reasoning, Su Bai took a deep breath.
There was no way to openly challenge the presiding judge's inclination during the trial.
In fact.
This was also a matter of the presiding judge's discretion.
The law had no strict standard governing differing perspectives and subjective views on a particular matter.
That was why such inclinations arose, and they also complied with trial requirements.
At the presiding judge's request, Su Bai briefly explained how the 120,000 yuan was calculated.
The compensation of over 120,000 yuan Su Bai proposed had been calculated rigorously.
It had a legal basis.
Its principal component was this-Ye Meizhen had infringed Liu Wenya's right of name to receive remuneration for work.
Likewise, she had used Liu Wenya's right of name to study and pursue further education, obtaining opportunities for internships and other work.
During his statement, Su Bai listed the specific figures and corresponding laws and regulations in detail.
He also answered the presiding judge's questions one by one.
After the statements on this issue concluded.
