Chapter 79: Let Me Show You What It Means to Be the Little Penguin Unbeatable at Nanshan
As Cao Liqiang's gavel fell,
the hearing was officially called to order.
Li Xuezhen's small face was brimming with excitement, her gaze constantly shifting between Chen Chao and Kong Hao.
This left Chen Chao and Kong Hao rather speechless...
But the opposing lawyer had not done anything out of line.
In the end, they said nothing more. They simply assumed she was deliberately trying to get under their skin, did not take it to heart, and chose to ignore her.
At the bench, in the presiding judge's seat.
Bang, bang, bang!
Cao Liqiang struck his gavel. "Court is now in session. We will now verify the information of the parties and their representatives. Will the appellant please state the names of those appearing in court and the scope of their authority?"
Authority to represent a client was divided into general authorization and special authorization.
The difference was that the latter gave representatives the right to reach a settlement or withdraw a lawsuit on behalf of their clients.
Put simply, lawyers with special authorization had greater powers.
The appellant was Su Bai's side, the plaintiff.
"Yes, Your Honor."
Su Bai nodded slightly. "Appearing for the appellant are Su Bai and Li Xuezhen, retained counsel from White Jun Law Firm in the Southern Capital. We have special authorization."
After Su Bai finished, Cao Liqiang lowered his head to check the personnel verification documents, then turned to the respondent's seats again.
"Will the representative of the respondent, Penguin Co., Ltd., please state the identities of those appearing in court and the scope of their authority?"
The respondent was Penguin. Although Penguin had assigned both Chen Chao and Kong Hao, Chen Chao was the one primarily responsible.
